      So when did you book the bike? I went there and did the advance booking on January 24th 2012 and still haven't got a call yet :-/
      Speed, it seems to me, provides the one genuinely modern pleasure.

        By now you must have realized that the "booking" on Jan 24th was only to pacify you (eyewash) and was not really considered! Else like others even you would've been ready to take the bike off the first lot. Sorry to say this though. Cheer up!

          eh??? That's not true (at least at the Mumbai dealer)...

          Josh,

          The KJMarg dealer has got only 10 bikes in the first lot. He is expecting more soon.
          Accordingly, he(or Bajaj, not sure) has started allocating these bikes to those who have booked on the 24th. But as you would know, more than 10 guys have booked on that day.

          Good thing is that dispatches have started. And from what I hear, the factory can produce a couple of thousands per month.

          So, expect a call soon

            any idea when they are going to increase the prices of KTM?
            A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith, and use up a lot of fuel.

            Always be ready (get geared) to fall and then think of sitting on the motorcycle.

              Thats what I'm talking about!!!! Thank You NikhilB thats some good intel there!!! Yes you are right apparently I was number 26 even after reaching there at 12noon...in any case I would think it irresponsible on the part of the KTM Store to just take ADVANCE bookings for the heck of it!!! But this explains a lot :-) by the way NikhilB were you among the few that had booked that day?

                From business point of view, it doesn't make sense to increase prices when the bike is not even on roads! They might increase prices if the owners give excellent review & demand exceeds the supply (simple economics)!

                  I booked it on the 24th, was the first one to book it in Delhi.

                    Got a call from KTM South Delhi (Vasant Kunj) at 1300 hrs today. They informed me that the bike is here and will be handed over to me at a special ceremony on Friday, at their head office in Karol Bagh. The ceremony will be held for the people who had booked their bike on the first day.
                    They also asked me to make the balance payment before Thursday, so, the bike can be handed over on Friday.

                        Yes I was.

                        By the way, had posted my understanding of what transpired on the 24th at the showroom in the other KTM thread (link).
                        May give you an idea to why they began accepting bookings early (I would've done the same, if in their place).

                            Even I hope to be wrong here! Do tell us when you are called and when you are supposed to pick the bike. I would be very keen to know! Am glad you are cheered up! :thumbsup

                              Hey thanks for the link NikhilB...in fact thats what the Kmarg manager told me as well and although they could not give out booking numbers he was writing the details of everyone giving PDCs in a register of his, and was maintaining that I was number 26 according to how many people had already given him PDCs already, his name was Sanjiv Prajapati I guess, he was a big hefty guy. So hopefully it should go in that order, if I'm not mistaken he still has that register with everyone's names in it.
