Kawasaki India opens new Mumbai showroom – Reveals Prices

Back in August last year, reports emerged that a few bikers, who had paid advance amount for their superbike purchase at SNK Palm Beach, an authorized Kawasaki India dealer in Mumbai, had not got delivery of their bikes. When checked, about a dozen such bikers were there who in spite of paying in full, for their bikes, had not got delivery of their bike even after six months of waiting.

The situation was such that the bikers were now getting together to file legal case against Kawasaki India and the said dealer. Soon the news spread, and India Kawasaki Motor got involved. After some talks, it was revealed that Satyen Karandikar, the owner of the dealership, will either deliver the bikes, or return the money of customers (with interest) before 31st August.

That did not happen. Instead, Satyen went missing and stopped replying to emails and phone calls. Before the affected bikers could comprehend the situation, on 1st Sep 2016, Kawasaki India released official statement that SNK Palm Beach is no longer an authorized dealer. Whatever promises, transactions, liabilities of SNK Palm Beach had made, is not a responsibility of Kawasaki India. This statement shocked the living daylights out of those dozen customers who did not know what to do next.

For this, Kawasaki India received a lot of negative publicity. As they were accused of leaving their customers hapless, for no fault of theirs. But that was not the case. In fact, Kawasaki India was working actively with those dozen bikers and working on a way out of this mess.
