Well guys, Yamaha got some new paint schemes for their FZ's, Hero MotoCorp hiked their prices by Rs. 1000, Bajaj managed to retain its No. 2 spot from Honda and TVS somehow showed some figures, and is expected to show slightly more after their 2012 Apache RTR starts selling more. (Yes, I know the new RTR's looks aren't exactly to majority's taste, but it will help nonetheless).
Some members were saying that Honda's sales over Bajaj, are due to dealership stock piling. Still the difference is not that much and Honda is quite ambitious.
They have set a target of being No. 1 that too in many years, so its possible. But the problem is that just like many other countries, not all Indians really fall flat for Honda's designs and appeal, although technology-wise they're up there with the best.
