news approved.

Let that be a lesson for every manufacturers who doesnt care about their customers.
I didnt expect this from Honda, moreover it could be the problem of the dealer rather than complaining Honda themselves...

The scooter was bought in 2005. And the verdict has been announced in 2012..!!

Kudos for the patience and perseverance.

Sounds sweet but still the way Honda treats their premium customers must still be more civilized, had a quite a few horror experiences when me & my friend had picked up a 250R ABS on full cash where we got treated like a customer who is in for a casual walk-in. Very Arrogant behaviour.

Saar...like I keep saying the dealers are the real culprits, Honda doesn't interfere with these activities though they take up the matters a little (little) serious.

Even with BAL, I've read the news here that someone was frustrated with the way the dealers serviced his Avenger multiple times; frustrated he shot an email to Rajiv/Rahul Bajaj; the dealers came home running & the issue was fixed to satisfaction. Now, there's no such Rajiv/Rahul at Honda & even if there were, they would simply redirect the email to the concerned dealer/Honda engineer. But you'll certainly get a call asking to come to ASC to get the issue fixed. But for sure, it will not be given as much attention as what you shoot to BAL.

Having said that, I myself got an inferior service for my Activa even after paying 7K though I'd complained saying its not perfect. The ASC said the usual dialogue of "it will become alright after 300 Kms saar"; but I complained to the SM & for additional 2K, they made the vehicle to showroom condition, trust me, absolute showroom condition, smooth running as silk. This means, they know how to fix the issue, its mere carelessness & laziness may or may not be out of pressure. Even for CBR's the bleedy idiots don't use torque wrenches. I've to keep telling them each & every time.

Last but not the least, the verdict itself took over 7 years, that's how our justice works!!! Mera Bharat Mahaan!!!

Even as said that Little care wasn't been directed towards the bike or us Aargee, the bike which we picked up had a noticable chipping of Paint in the fron fender of the ABS one which will pose the ABS sticker in it, however the dealer didn't agree to give a replacement nor promised to take care of the issue later on but insisted that we had take delivery as such, poor guy as it was the most auspicious day & couldn't wait more as he can't do it for next one month picked up the bike. Mailed Honda multiple times & the response from Honda is still awaited.

its really sad to hear these things...

Honda is known for this. if you want to buy a cheap vehicle its better to buy from Yamaha. Honda treats cheap buyers as cheap and will treat you as king when you buy high priced products from them.

if you are a CBR1000RR owner u r king and if you buy CBR25oR then you are a normal customer and u buy Activa you are cheap customer. i wish Yamaha released a 2win 250 i would happily sell my CBR and get that. but when it comes to engine reliability and engine quality Honda always have the upper hand and we are stuck with them

Hope to see a Yamaha soon....

Please avoid SMS language on threads.
And Honda doesnt treat their customers in such manner, you have a wrong mindset regarding them.

We have a Xbhp member who is from Pune having the 2012 Fireblade - Nitin.
And i would only prey that no other bike owner goes under the mental trauma he went regarding after sales service. Now thats a lot of money out there...

Utterly rubbish Honda has become over the period of time.

Oops sorry...

What are you saying.. CBR1000RR customer is also treated like this ?? hmm that's really sad. I think XBHP should start a Honda Screw up committee soon lol

Should gather all Honda owners and file a case against them for what they are doing and the way they treat customers.

if they cannot care for us then why buy Bonda..

7 years , I think that is too long a period, and the interest should have been calculated from the date the poor chap bought the bike

There was a time when Honda equaled quality. Now it equals overpriced motorcycles which lack that 'pristine, nothing can be wrong with it' quality and dealers who behave so arrogantly like they are giving away bikes for free. First numerous CBR250R customers, then a Eterno customer (Though a one-off case, i would not be suprised if there are more). And now I hear even a premium Fireblade customer being mistreated. WHAT THE HECK !!!

Kya in c*****e dealers pe koi control nhi HONDA ka ?

I won't buy a Honda now, even if we assume that bad cases are 10 out of 10000. What if i am one of those 10? What is those 10 guys' mistake? They paid the same money for the same thing. Would you take a chance with your/(your dad's) hard earned money?

"Sir, if you buy our bike there is a slight possibility of us treating you like horse shit! Now would you still buy this bike?"
HELL NO !
Honda's products are good. If i compare all the companies regarding product range and engine quality wise. They would be in top 3. But these incidents, they just make you like, " Screw Honda!"

Maybe all major magazines ignoring CBR150R's launch to a large extent is their way at getting back to Honda.


All opinions expressed above are mine and i don't need anybody to agree with them!! So please don't bother to oppose me if you think otherwise, I respect everyone's opinion.

blitzkreig809 - ROTFL!!! Are you aware what you're even trying to say? Did you understand what this incident is all about? Not opposing, but try get the real facts straight before saying anything.

we are getting sub-standard bikes from honda because of policies of our govt.govt has a policy of highest duty on imported bikes because of this duty fair competition is not in the bike market.we are at the mercy of bike makers of india whatever they are giving we have to purchase it,no international competition.quality,comfort and technologies are not of international market.
