  • Dude the source is reliable, and the Honda regional office in Bangalore is next to my friend's office. so know the employee of Honda through him. They had committed a delivery date 15 april but due to massive bookings and delay in production. They have said now last week of april which they are committed to. (i.e 25 April). Some parts were suppose to be imported from Thailand but due to change in CKD taxes rules they had to be produced in India so this delay. If the parts were to be imported then Honda couldn't have maintained the price.Hence this delay.

    If you want you can believe this or just ignore it.

          Err... how is it that the bike completely bypassed bangalore and reached madurai??..
          I am starting to build conspiracy theories in my head..

          Maybe i will go with the bookin in pondy and cancel bangalore after all..

                Well, i visited my honda dealer and the rep said that the bikes are already in their godown.. He was awaiting his manager to give him a detail of how many bikes have arrived and when is the display bike coming.. But he said, as the bikes are here, atleast the display bike would be in showroom by tommorow and depending on the no. Of. Bikes.. The delivery will start..

                They are planning to have a small launch in Bangalore some time soon.

                And he says the delivery will be as per all India booking list and not dealer list.

                I have booked my CBR on 7 Jan non abs- red.

                Hope to get it in the first week of May.

                I asked why is the delay in deliveries of the bikes. He replied by telling that they never officially promised any delivery dates. All they have announced is "Delivery commence from April End", and that will happen. So its after 25th of April only.
                I asked him how many bikes would be there in the first lot and the following lots. For that he said that he cannot disclose those details to me.
                He never mentioned about the delivery based on "All India" booking sequence. And it shouldn't be like that I guess (I mean I've never heard anything like this before). It should be based on the booking at each dealership.

                So if you see, Honda is right and It's only the dealers who have been giving us false dates (not sure why).

                This will only lead to chaos

                based on booking per showroom the bikes will be delivered to showrooms .. say one showroom booked high number of bikes then they receive in good number of bikes .. and less for the lesser booked showroom .. here the number of bikes will be in far less than anticipating say for showroom ordered 40 bikes then ...there are chances that that showroom might get around 18-20 bikes in first lot
                and in first lot they try to distribute to all showrooms in min quantity ..

                and now its depend on showroom how they allot the bikes to customers .. either by list or by recommendation or even for premium amount.

                OT: i remembered when R15 launched there were very less bikes in first lot and one guy even got the minister recommendation to get the bike , ...

                (unless a lot of people who have booked cancel it :P )
                Who cares how Honda or its dealers manage the deliveries? All that matters to me is that I have to get CBR delivered to me in the very first lot in Bangalore in the showroom I booked because I did the booking on 1st Jan around 10:30 in the morning. So, it got to be one of those very firsts for the day.
                If the dealer denies me this, of course, it has to be by an unfair means, I am going to ditch the dealer, Honda and the CBR. As a customer, I deserve my due respect. I place myself above the machine and I do not want to beg Honda for the machine. I will be all happy with R15 thats waiting for me since last week in the showroom.

                                i wont be surprised if the deliver it to you in 2012.. Hehehe.. Kidding.. But vineet it would had been a lot better if you had booked it from sai point honda here in our mira road..IMO.. As they have just about 40 bookings..till now.. And they have a total of three branches and according to the rep i spoke today, the bikes have reached their godown in thane..
