        +1 .. 30k's is too expensive for an ABS system. I think you get the same thing in cars for the same amount. Looks like honda is trying to cash in on the novelty factor.

        BTW.. I have seen combi-braking sticker on honda scooters. Is the 'C' in C-ABS something similar???

          Absolutely, C - ABS is for combined - Antilock Braking System.

          • This post might be Pune centric... But just FYI...

            So here it is: I've done a double booking.. Just in a bid to make sure that i get delivery by this month itself.

            Pashankar Honda is a hogwash! Everything about them is dicey... The sales rep spoke to me rudely today when i questioned him about my booking number.. Which just went from 10 something to 40! In all probability, They are resorting to unfair practices... They told me that if i wanted my bike earlier, i have to make my full payment ASAP after which they'll 'try to' give me the bike in 20 days.

            Nonetheless, my fresh booking is at Rohan Honda. They are a new dealership (opened in Jan '11) in Pune and hence very courteous... They have about 20 bookings and I am promised my bike in the third, max fourth week of May. That too i have it in written on the booking form. So let's see how this goes... Whichever dealership confirms allotment, i'll buy the bike from there.. The other one will just refund my booking amount...

              I hope they dont resort to such tactics here in bangalore. I asked my dealer about the availability of CBR's with brokers in bombay, but he told me that in banalore none of the brokers was allowed to book the bike. God knows how much of this is true but your story has made me uneasy.

                Just booked myself a silver standard. I hope I get it in time for ladakh 2011.

                Longer test ride video coming up.

                Am hoping the same thing. Ladhak 2011 starts for me on the last week of June. I need the bike atleast 2 weeks before so I can break it in properly and get the service done.

                • Confused between Black and Red guys, I Booked for the red one, but black looks good in contrast with silver linings.

                  Haven't got a chance to see silver yet !

                    Yes Pashankar Auto cannot be trusted. I remember when I had went to buy a Dio for my friend, they told waiting period would be 2 months "if going for finance option" and only 15-20 days "if making full payment". Obviously, they are resorting to unfair practices. And the fact that they have been in the business for a long time adds to that.

                    I have booked my bike from My Wings Honda, Kothrud which also opened in 2011. Booking number is 16. I am expecting to get the bike in May. But only concern is, being new to the market, will they be beaten by the old horses like Pashankar? It all depends on how Honda's distribution is and how fair they themselves are...

                      Me too.. the same confusion. Was very clear about the red earlier but after seeing both in flesh, i am totally confused now. Decided not to see the grey one.. or I might get more confused.

                              Hey hi Night fury,

                              even i have booked the bike in dream honda and i dont have a good feeling abt them, as even they have told me that mine is 3rd no. and when asked abt the delivery they say that they have no information on the 1st lot that is coming , how may are ABS n how many are NON ABS, 1st thing they dont know how many bikes are coming,

                              when asked abt the delivery they told that " sir if there are any bike which is black then i will surely get it, but i dont believe them, i think its better we exchange no so that there is better information sharing

Asked him about my booking number and he said in the enitre list im at #10 and on the C-ABS list im #2 .
                                Pratul honda has 3-4 bikes among which only one red abs has arrived, and the rest are non abs so he said I'll be getting my BLACK C-ABS in the next lot.

                                He Also said that bikes will be coming in in good numbers so the wait time will come down for sure.

                                Hi its good to hear u but damm f**** r syng the same any how hope for that i booked black std at rajbhavan road mine is #7 can u plz tell me the billing process as they r taking any advance or total at the delivery time!!!
