Thats nothing new abt honda. They cant even sell a Aviator with least curtosey to its customers, then i woner how they will treat its premium customers. I guess the pending bookings have gone into their heads!!!! Wake up honda, its nothing to be cheered abt.

They wouldnt even show me by Aviator unless i pay the entire amt! to top it they just left me once the paymment is dne and i had to run around to get it delivered! Jeez, this is my last honda for sure!

Satish: Same here mate, its really gone into their heads. But really, it is pathetic and sad at the same time. Atleast with bikes like the CBR, they shouldnt take us for granted. Reminded me when Manish booked his blade last year. Same experience!

I am working to choose my next bike between CBR and the R15. Any R15 owner, does R15 has such plastic and switch gear issues? How is the build quality of R15? Please throw some light as it would help me really.
But, any day, these shitty things about CBR really p**s me off too x-(. Thanks myg124 for bringing this up here.

Mate, with either bike, I would wisely ask you to wait. Let the CBR sort out a production cycle and I guess a new R15 is coming. Hold on for a bit.

I guess the counter balancer works sweetly on the CBR, heres it doing a top speed of 157kph with a lovely Honda hum in the mid range( watch the rpm redline!)

The silver and red side by side. The start up sound would remind anyone of the Karizmas.

. My gut feeling says " It is a Honda, quality should be better ", let us not judge based on a display bike, the display bikes might have been imported from Thailand in a hurry. I expect the production bikes to be far better.
So the bottom line is "WAIT AND WATCH".

+100... WAIT and WATCH...Completely agree with you.

Patience is Virtue my friend.

I'm surprised that Pune has only 2 bookings from xbhp considering that we have a chunk of xbhp members from here..
Nonetheless, the showroom from where i booked my bike from has more than 80 bookings it seems..
P.S.: I'm getting restless.. i want the bike NOW! :-|

I just hope this is not a marketing strategy because both the dealers that I called here in Kolkata yesterday said they have recieved 82/85 bookings. Maybe a coincidence, but if its a marketing thing, its really appalling.

+1. I too feel the bookings would be lesser than they say.

I guess not, it looked assembled right here.But again, even I like the bike and wish to have it. Will wait for some surprise from Honda.

Ok here's an input atleast for mumbai,navi mumbai & thane guys:

all showrooms to get 1st quota by end of 1st week of april out of which immediate deliveries can start.

Showrooms get a mail on 5th of every month on the no. of vehicles they will be receiving.

so give a call to respective showrooms on 6th april to know the status.
