Which dealer mate ?

me too will probably wait for Yamaha or Hyosung.

Which dealer is that? Its not different from what I hear from JSP. Next time ask them more questions & they MIGHT say something different.

Last Thursday I give a call to JSP casually asking if C250R is available for display & to my surprise they say YES. I was wondering how this is possible because each time I called up they assured me that, they'll call me & inform when the bike hits the showroom for display. So I asked them why they haven't called me. So the lady goes over usual gaga & finally mentions that since I've booked the vehicle at Ambattur branch, they missed out calling, but assures that my details are in system & she proved it too

Anyway, I couldn't make it last Friday, so I call them up this morning & find out the bike is still there for display & no test ride. Fine, I go up to see the bike all way riding 13 Kms.

First impressions - The bike looks somewhere in between commuter & big bike category & certainly in one go it tends to give a big bike feeling.

Thorough check - After reading so many good & bad reviews, I decided to check them all by myself. First & foremost thing, yes, there's a slight quality lack from a Japanese manufacturer or CBU perspective, but certainly, a good quality compared to any Indian manufacturer. The quality loss are mostly noticeable at the weld points such as frame & clip ons. The saree guard is missing on the C250R here, so can't comment much. The front panel seems to be slightly smaller in size compared to the huge pics that is floated around the internet. The one that was put up was STD version Black in color with silver creasing on the fairing & under seat. Clutch seem to be very smooth & soft.

Will I buy - From a big yes, it has changed to a million dollar question now. One of the primary reason why I'd booked was easy access to ASC compared to limited number of ASC of N250R.

I spent a good 15-20 minutes looking at the bike & no one even came near me nor when I tried to ask someone, all of them seemed to be busy selling other Honda stables. Tried approaching the manager, but those people are no where in sight & their seats are empty. As we all know, most of the sales talk are sugar coated followed by pathetic ASC. But in this case, forget the sugar talk, there was no one around to ask what I needed in the first place.

While keeping the above experience aside, any day you ask them when the bike would arrive, no one has a clue. Each time you call up you get a same trained answer - 2 months waiting period. That was the same thing they told me this morning over the phone too. So when I asked if it would take June/July, they don't have a concrete answer, they say, they're expecting first lot by May 10 & would decide after that.

I'm gradually loosing interest on this bike as HMSI first said...
- The launch date was mid Apr
- Deliveries commence by end Apr

Now its May 6th now, but still dealers have no clue nor HMSI isn't letting out any concrete news.

Frankly speaking, my hopes are put down miserably by the attitude of HMSI & the dealers. What should I do? Cancel my booking & wait for something else? Pls advice?

Sent you P.M mate ! One of the dealers in chennai supposed to get 10 but they got only two !! ONLY TWO mate ! and asked them when is their next lot , they were like " Sir , we thought 10 bikes will come but only two came and we cant predict anything at this moment "

EDIT: guys.. is it possible that we in Bangalore try and group at the time of delivery of each bike
