Silicon Motors, Bangalore has so many orders that they cannot cater to the customer needs. So, please dont try to book a bike from that dealers.
My Experience with Silicon Motors: 10th Aug (Around 10 AM): Called the show room guys and asked the price and other details for Honda Unicorn. During conversation, they said that I can expect the bike within 20 days.
10th Aug (Around 11:30 AM): Went to the showroom and tried to book a bike. There they said "Honda company is not sending bikes as per the demand and hence will take 30 days. When I told them what they had told me on phone, they said a min of 20 days and a max of 30 days for delivery. I somehow went ahead and booked the bike. They said they will inform when to pay the remaining amount and collect the bike.
10th Aug - 30th Aug: My brother went many times (more than 5 times) to the show room but still no use. They kept saying it will take some more time. (Money waste and time waste for my brother).
1st week of september (dont remember the exact date): When my brother visited the showroom again, they said they have a grey color Unicorn and they can give that whereas I had booked for a black one. We said we will wait for the black one.
5th Sep: They told my brother when he went to the showroom that bikes are expected around 8th Sep
and asked him to pay the remaining amount
6th Sep: When I went to confirm the same, they said bikes havent come and I can take the grey colored bike if I want. If I want the black one then I should pay the remaining amount and bikes will leave from Honda factory on 11th and reach around 19th or 20th.
9th or 10th of Sep: Gave a check for the remaining amount as they guaranteed that bikes will leave from Honda factory on 11th and reach around 19th or 20th.
12th Sep: Check withdrawn by Silicon Motors
19th Sep (The date they had guaranteed my bike): Update from them "Will take another 5-6 days. Vehicles not released by Honda"
I dont know what will happen after 5-6 days. Waiting for that day. Will update once that day comes.
When we said we will cancel the bike, they said go ahead and do it. They never tried to admit their mistake. They are not worried about missing a customer. I have recommended all my friends not to go for this dealer.
Better dont opt for Honda bikes, especially Unicorn. If you still want to go for a Unicorn, then atleast dont book with Silicon motors and put extra pressure on them.
Neglect my suggestions at your own risk.
Latest Update:
22 Sep: When we called them, they said there is some problem and so will be able to give the bike only on 29th. I decided to cancel the order if I dont get it on 29th and this time I was strong on my decision
24 Sep: Got a call from the showroom saying bike has come and they asked me if I wanted any fancy registration number. I said I am not interested in that.
25 Sep: Got the bike in the morning......................... Finally
