I had done this too..

.. What you told is right. The jayadeva showroom guys get the bikes first. they deliver it to other dealers all over bangalore.. I personally know the manager of this showroom and also the area manager very well.. But this Friendship had happened very recently, when i found that they stay near my place. But it was too late to change my booking to his showroom. But still they could help me get the bike earlier than the dealer's promised date. Once my 6 months waiting period got over, dealer had asked me to wait for a total 10 months. The dealer was given orders from supply head to give away my bike.. Thats how i got it this early. Others who booked along with me are still waiting. LOL.

You are really lucky man

... Thats what i was talking about.

Guess surjit can share the number. I am strictly asked not to share the number as those are their personal numbers and they dont want me to pass it on !! I am extremely sorry for not publishing the numbers buddy. I can try talking to him if any of my friends needed a bike..

I did contact one of the Managers. The details are as given below:
Name : kartik ( regional head )
Ph : 9003030779

Bangalore Show room :
Manager : Abin
Number : 9740220050

Chennai Help line : + 91 - 44 - 42230400

Dont call Kartik directly. He will ask you what are the steps that u have taken, like contacting Abin or not (abin is the head of bangalore). So try to call up Abin ( he is really nice guy and an awesome person always ready to help), and explain him everything.
Give him some time and do as he says.
If still this does not help, then call up Kartik or the chennai number for further help

Very true !!! Abin is such a sweet person. My good neighbour too !!!

karthik wont help you much in bangalore bro . You can contact abin first. He is the head of the jayadeva showroom. He cant do anything unless the booking is in his showroom, but he is very close to the supply manager, Ashok. So he can still help others who booked in different showrooms also. No use talking to ashok directly. He wont give much heed. He'll instead give explanation why its getting delayed. But if abin speaks to him, ashok will do it for him..

what i know and have seen is that Kartik is the regional head ....
He is not the Bangalore head .....
and a person should go to him at the end, and not at the beginning.
I dont know about Ashok, but the person Kartik does not even stay in Bangalore also , what i know is that he sits at the chennai office.... so keep in mind before calling him. It will be escalated hugely then if he comes into play.

And yah Abin is the head of the bangalore showroom.
I think its better to book with the showroom rather than any dealer.

Unreliables..

I had booked my RE TBTS in the first week of August at Dhone Automobiles Pune. That was a mistake.
After 8 months and a lot of frustration I just canceled the booking. They don't even give any indication when one can expect the delivery.
But maybe its not their fault. They are just doing what the RE does at their core. Not giving a shit about the customers.
RE is surviving not because of its fans, but lack of options. In other country, with more options, the so called manufacturing company would have been bought and sold many times over.
Like all thing in India, its the sheer statistics that allows them some breathing space. So that even with a marginal share in the two-wheeler market, the absolute number of bikes sold pays for their salaries.

Let's see if the new production line of TBTS 500 is any good. I certainly think not.

Visited RE navi mumbai on Friday 6th April. And i booked CL500 but The Manager said that in June TBTS 500 is about to be launched and he wanted me to think over, so i asked him if i don't get my CL 500 before TBTS 500 launch than can i shift my booking to RE TBTS500 he said yes, if bike is not allocated.

Have you all heard anything on launch of TBTS 500 in June ??

Today i see RE has removed the TBTS 500 TAB from site. only campaign page contains the RE TBTS 500 pic and site link.

Yah man .. they have removed it from the site.
Might be they have found some problems in it. who knows.
So waiting for the Thunderbird 500 will not be good.
if the company is not releasing the bike, that means that it has some problem for sure. Because other wise it would have come to the showrooms by now.

Today meet a assistant sales manager from the factory.
One good news is Thunderbird 500 will be launched in mid or end of JULY for sure.
And the bad news it will cost around 2 lac ...
He also showed me a couple of pictures of bikes.
One was almost like the classic, but it was really different.
But the pics were awesome. He did not share anything else though.
He came for an inspection , and was also collecting information from the customers.
he was really interested to know customers feedback, and what all the customers think about the bikes.

Hey!
I've booked a Royal Enfield classic 350(Silver colour) from HSR @ KR Road in the month of February and was given a waiting period of 10-12 months.
I called them up, today, to inquire about the status of the bike and he said that I had to wait for 6 more months.
I was shocked at his answer(and overjoyed:P) but I still cannot believe it!
Has the waiting period for the C350 reduced?

They keep giving fake promises buddy. The waiting period has nt reduced. At normal condition, the showroom guys can deliver your bike in less than 10 months for sure. To remain in a safer side, they print it 12 months. If some issues happen in between like a strike or production delay, it'll take more time and thats the reason they telling 12 months. But you'll get it much earlier than that buddy. Need not worry.
