Yamaha FZ16-The Discussion Thread

[RohitJames]

heyyy..its been 24 days since i booked me bike and yet I havent received me bike delivery! Booked it at Excellent Yamaha, they suck!! Everytime I call 'em, they keep telling me give us 5 more days...

Bro.....i cant c any reason for delaying the delivery to u..........i saw around 30 FZ's at Setco Yamaha(Delhi) eating dust in open.
Cannot figure out as to what can be reason for the delay down south.

Polishing in Free Service

Can anyone explain what is meant by "The bike is to be polished" in free service.

The Orion guys just wash and 'wipe' the bike and give back.

Yeah...booked me bike on the 5th of Jan and got a booking number on 7th Jan. But i researched...seems the booking number doesnt make much difference till the dealer actually orders fr ur bike...

Man, after seeing all your booking woes, I must say I was really lucky to get my orange beauty in a day. I made the booking on Wednesday & got the Bike on Thursday. LUCKY ME.
