Posted on March 24th 2010If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
The most awaited cruiser for the Indian segment is finally here, the Bullet Electra Twinspark edition is being officially launched. The 350cc monster will be priced at Rs 89,846 and Rs 93,846 (ex showroom price Chennai).
Royal Enfield plans to grow up their sales by the launch of the 350 Twinspark edition. It is one of the best cruisers in the country for mid segment buyers. Well the design looks stylish and has a superb exhaust note which will rattle the ground besides you. For those who were in the waiting of the Bullet Twinspark edition the price is not high either compared to its performance.

This is to put forward my case of psychological stress and mental trauma faced by booking a Royal Enfield Classic 500.
BACKGROUND:
I am a die-hard fan of Royal Enfiled motorcycles and proud owner of a Machismo 350. I have been associated with “Spirited stallions” from formative days, the riding club initiated by Royal Enfield Brand Store, Bangalore. I designed the Club Logo, free of cost.
I love to tour on my Machismo and even the Royal Enfield official website has acknowledged the fact by publishing my photographs in the “Picture of the week” section, several times.
CASE:
I had been eagerly waiting for the launch of Classic 500 in India, since its introduction in the International market.
After the launch, as soon as i could manage to arrange for the finances, i went ahead and booked a Classic 500 and put my machismo on sale.
FACTS:
Booking Date: 8th of December 2009
Booking amount: Rs Ten thousand only.
Booking for: Royal Enfield CLASSIC 500
Booking at: Royal Enfield Brand Store, Bangalore.
On-Road Price at the time of booking: Rs 1,43,000. (+ - Rs.500)
Promised delivery date: 8th of February, 2010.
Since the day of booking, i have been eagerly waiting for the bike and have been regularly following it up with the Brand Store.
I got a letter from the Royal Enfiled Brand store (dated: 9th March 2010) stating that i would positively receive the bike by the 4th week of March.
Today (23rd March, 2010) i went to the Brand store to esquire about the status of my booking and i was told that by March end / April beginning, i should be getting my bike.
THE ISSUE:
Today, at Brand Store, i was also told that the Price of the Bike has increased as a result of the union budget, and i would have to pay the increased price for the bike, when it is delivered.
Now, why should i pay the extra amount for no fault of mine? Or is it the price one has to pay for being passionate ?
I booked the bike with initial booking amount, and was given delivery date of 8th Febroary, 2010. ( before the union budget)
Its not my fault that Royal Enfield company did not deliver the bike on the promised delivery date, ( and still there is no surety of a delivery date), and in the mean while the new budget has increased the price of the bike, and finally i, the customer has to bear the extra cost. Is this my fault ?
If this was mentioned during the time of booking I would have prepared myself for this.
The last 3.5 months of waiting for the bike, without any realistic delivery date, has given me enough mental tension and trauma, and on top of that, now i am also expected to pay a much higher price of for the bike.
I would request someone to look in to this matter, and take some appropriate action, before people like me get dissapointed and loose the Passion towards the Royal Enfiled Motorcycles.
Still Waiting..
