Yup. In Mumbai they have been too strict. Forget other showroom for same bike, I even tried contacting a Bajaj dealer posing as a potential Bajaj Avenger customer and same reply. Had to open a new bank a/c. Lets see if those documents work.

I have Lava Red...new color scheme looks awesome...White is good too 
I am talking about the new scheme lava red itself. Too bad blue is not in the new scheme. White is good but the issue is that the slightest of dirt will spoil the looks. And given Mumbai rains, the roads are muddy for atleast 3 months a year.Konquerror said:I have Lava Red...new color scheme looks awesome...White is good too
Update....
Now they ask me for police verification. I am like God!! I opened a new bank a/c for address proof, ran after the lawyers to get my papers notarised.. And now this.... I DONT WANNA BUY IT ANYMORE....... A ** PASSPORT DOESNT TELL U I AM CLEAN!!!!

A valid HR letter and a House lease agreement should do.

For Fazer, the waiting period they told to me was 45 days...however they delivered the bike in 15 days
kamer said:Thank you all for your valuable inputs. Went to book my bike yesterday. Damn irritating experience. I dont have a permanent address in Mumbai. For registration, i gave them a copy of my passport, PAN Card, Voter ID... all registered to my native address and a copy of the rental agreement. They are like- Do you have a electricity bill in your name at the address you are staying.... I said no.. Any bank a/c by that address... no.... Sorry, you cant buy a bike :no: I am like:huh: People who do not have a permanent address in Mumbai cant buy a vehicle!!!!!
I can understand what you have gone through. I went through the same -- its all rubbish only Yamaha does it. I live on rent in Ahmedabad but luckily one of my bank savings account, my passport and pan card are issued to my Ahmedabad address. Now Yamaha created a massive scene by saying I couldn't have the bike and it won't clear RTO passing. Also the bike I chose to buy, Yamaha SZ wasn't worth all the trouble so I got myself a Pulsar 135 LS and all Bajaj wanted were the usual set of documents, I paid the money upfront and took delivery of the bike instantly and tbh my Pulsar is way better than the Yamaha in terms of performance, mileage and build quality. The Yamaha finance people were asking for 9 blank cheques! Bajaj asked for 2 blank cheques (for the same loan period). Also the loan approval for my Pulsar was instantaneous (took 30 mins in all) as I bought an AC from Croma with Bajaj finance and cleared the loan payment. Yamaha (Busan Auto Finance) also levies a lot more interest than Bajaj does. Similarly you need to pay 4.5% of the total cost of the bike as well as a loan closure fee+processing fee in addition to the outstanding amount should you choose to pay off the outstanding installments after the loan lock in period which is 6 months for Yamaha. Bajaj requires you to wait for 3 months of the lock in period for the loan and then you can pay off the entire amount in a single payment without any processing fee or loan closure fee or any additional interest on the outstanding amount. Yamaha's finance schemes are sheer madness!
BTW a recent credit card bill to your address in Mumbai should do as well. Try that.
Yamaha's requirements while booking the bike irrespective of you taking it on loan or paying upfront(applicable if you live on rent in a city which isn't your native city):-
[1] 3 passport sized photographs
[2] Notarized rent agreement with the photograph of the tenant and the owner attested and signed by both parties
[3] Passport/Pancard/Voter ID/Ration card
[4] Latest Credit card bill
[5] Passbook of your account in a bank of the city your are currently residing in
[6] Latest Electricity Bill issued with the name of your flat owner

[8] 6 months bank statement of the account of the local bank
[9] Proof of workplace and a letter from the HR
[10] Latest salary slip
[11] 9 cheques (8 blank one cancelled) from your savings account with the local bank
[12] Proof of your permanent address with any of these documents ( Passport/Pancard/Voter ID/Ration card ) and electricity bills with your name on it
[13] Postpaid mobile phone bill (latest)
[14] Municipality water bill or gram panchyat bill or a receipt from the housing society for maintenance of the flat,etc or the possession letter of the flat the builder issued to the flat owner

get fazer dude...
as for the colour get the white one, check my thread
fazer makes you feel comfortable and pretty sexy,...
the only downside compared with fz is Faring cause that weight around 6kg that reduces performance and mileage compared with fz...
but it gives you the look, aerodynamics, comfortable and pleasure to ride(a real touring spirit)
i get mine on 8th day,,, paid full cash but the poor thing is they raised 2 percent tax on that day(from 12.5 to 14.5%), so paid 84800... one day...
hope you have pleasurable ride..

Thank You for providing detailed insight. I really appreciate the time and energy you have invested in writing the excellent post. However, in Mumbai, same is the scene with Bajaj as well (documentation). As far as financing is concerned, I am making an upfront payment so cheque and all is not applicable to me. Your post seems to suggest Yamaha has these paper requirements. However, registration is done at RTO and the documents are for submission at the RTO. So I really am confused why Yamaha and Bajaj treated you differently. Yamaha wont get anything out of it by asking extra docs other than losing customers.
But will visit a Bajaj Showroom next week if Yamaha doesnt find out a way to sell their bike. If Bajaj seems ok, will go for Avenger

Thank you buddy. Lets us see. First let them agree to register the bike. As of now, I have almost lost interest in buying it.

It doesnt. Submitted a copy of rental agreement (notarised one), a copy of bank statement, passport, PAN, Voter ID, Electricity bill (in name of owner). HR letter also wont be useful. They insist on a police verification. Would have got it done too but not sure if their demands will stop at this. Tomorrow they might ask for something else!!!
When I bought my FZ16 (long back - I booked before launch of FZ in India, Oct 2008) in Mysore, they agreed to take LIC Policy as address proof.
All I had to make some cheap LIC Policy - (but it helped later on with taxes. - ek goli se do sikar )
But later I came to know some court affidavit (can be made for 150~200 bucks) for your present address also works for vehicle registration.
But again, those are the rules in Mysore, Karnataka. May be different in Mumbai.

kamer said:Hi guys. I am going to buy a new bike soon. I am really confused between FZ-S and Fazer. I need the bike for city commuting mainly, rarely going beyond 60 kmph. I know FZ is better for cutting through traffic but the looks of Fazer are just killing!! I needed to know if Fazer is really bad for traffic (standalone- please dont compare it with other bikes). Also I would be travelling 22-25 km daily (to and fro office) and at times a pillion (on weekends)
If you can afford Fazer, it is a great buy compared to FZ-S. You can find a lot of info here: Yamaha Fazer Review And Photos
Booked Yamaha Fazer Cyber Green today. :clap: Expected delivery within 30-45 days.
image source - Yamaha Fazer – Black Cyber Green
Among 13 bikes in my budget, narrowed down to Fazer as it ticked most of my requirements. Among the scooters, TVS Wego was the winner. TVS has made one hell of a product here, very comfortable ride, refined engine and highly chuckable, though a little slow in pick up.
The final battle between TVS Wego and Yamaha Fazer was a tough one. Wego for all its practicality looked like a great choice, but since I had a fair bit of highway running (about 50% of total running), decided a bike is anyday better for stability and safety.

When I was at the Yamaha showroom in Ahmedabad recently looking for a bike, I saw that people took delivery of their bikes(any bike) on the spot. I don't understand why there is such a long waiting period. If I am not mistaken, Ahmedabad has the largest number of two wheelers in India (according to some dealerships). Bikes here are available on the spot after you book them. I paid for my Pulsar 135 and went to the basement of the dealership and rode away with my bike.
