^^ True, but I won't mind... now the dealer is pretty lazy as it seems. When I booked, they had no R15 in stock citing reason as low production. Said that yellow (taxi) lot will be coming by 25 and it did, while blue will be by 30-jan to 2-feb and red (I better say dark pink...girly) in feb 1st. week. Today, I inquired and he said the yellow and red lot has arrived... no clue on the blue!

My personal choice was the old red with blackish fairing, which went out of production in 2009... I wonder why yamaha took off the good color and replaced it with a girly deep pink (not red) that suits on nothing but scooties? I simply do not like the racing colors or the graphics... so blue with the old graphics was my next choice, hence booked it. Now even if they get blue with the new vinyl, I'd be happy... to ultimately lay my hands on it.

In WB, I gotta pay Rs. 1,03,500 on road... I guess it is far higher elsewhere.

Same story here in Mangalore. Finally, the stock has arrived today, my friend is getting his delivery today, but I must sell the FZS which I won in Yamaha IBR, so that I can have the finances to fund for the new bike. For that I must go to Mumbai and pay my gift tax and bla.. bla.. bla

Anyone from Mumbai interested in a virgin FZS?

BTW, the old red is still very much in production. I saw a huge line-up for red (old) R15s in their greater noida manufacturing plant. Not sure, if it's sold in India though.

BTW, R15 is 1,13,000 OTR in Mangalore

@awesomeo: I visited them on Friday and they still had no clue when the next truck would be coming to Howrah and further distributed to dealerships...

Regarding old red, many sources confirm that it was taken off... maybe they were returned to factory for rework or export to Bangladesh.

Yea, you are paying about 10k more for the same thing!

svjhonda · 02-02-2010, 12:55 PM

^
BTW from where are you buying it?

And where are you put up?

I thought they were going to give you the same old used FZs man! A brand new bikes makes more sense.... why dont you try telling the showroom guy itself to upgrade it for you for a small price...!

agnivo007 · 02-06-2010, 06:31 PM

@svjhonda: I'm from Khardah and booked from Matali Enterprises at Barrackpore.

BTW, called up yamaha toll free helpline and the lady attended to my queries very well. She said blue is low on production currently and the other racing colors (yellow/red/black) are easily available on showrooms. While the limited edition white is being sent across at a premium of 1.5k... Blue will again be available from the end of Feb.

I do not plan to take from Kolkata showrooms due to certain reasons... so I'll wait.

Neel08 · 02-10-2010, 07:42 PM

^^^Hey you are from Khardah,

Why don't you try Kestopur Yam's Factory outlet, In Matali they are selling a lot of Fazer these days....

Anyway when u contact them again can u ask if they serviced (Free-service) R15,which is not purchased from their shop ?

And BTW Congo in advance for ur upcoming Beast/Babe.

agnivo007 · 02-10-2010, 11:26 PM

Hi Neel, thanks! Where are you from? Well, the idea about Kolkata showrooms is definitely good, but I avoid it for some personal reasons... Yeah, Matali is mainly catering to the FZ and Fazers these days, but R15's are being sold too. Too bad they don't stock much R15s and mainly order them when booked.

agnivo007 · 03-09-2010, 02:24 AM

OK just to let you know all that I have got the R15 Blue (new graphics) on 23-Feb!
