    Honda and Suzuki are doing good. But TVS? If TVS believes that only God can save them, then even God helps those who help themselves. Simple.

    Most of the guys here know what TVS stands for. But our's and the general public's memory is quite poor, and if not refreshed soon, nothing good might remain in our memory, regarding TVS.
    Commuters are hardly enough to create a news, and what's so special about them anyways? Some 110cc machines struggling to find their USP's?
    Premium segment was their stronghold, until they dropped some redesigning on our market, which apparently directs airflow towards engine. And that minimalist no-nonsense character is gone... forever apparently.

    Their 4 valve full blown racing machines are fun to ride, but their road machines, including both RTRs and the commuters are (not surprisingly) surpassed in most areas by the competition.

    TVS, the less said, the better. The recent upgrade to Apache was pathetic by any standards, they just ripped it off and made it look like Pulsar. If anyone got any doubts on it, just check the picture available in below link.

    2012 TVS Apache 160 and 180 - Team-BHP

    Apparently pic on left side is upgraded Apache, but if someone mistakes it for a Pulsar, then he is not really at fault.

            Bajaj's May numbers slip by 2%

            Source:

            India's second largest two-wheeler maker Bajaj Auto 's sales in May declined 2% year-on-year to 3,52,219 units as commercial vehicle sales tumbled and exports to Sri Lanka continued to be hit.
            Its total motorcycle sales rose just 1% to 3,21,922 units and total exports were up 3% to 1,30,573 units.
            The Sri Lanka government had beginning April hiked import duties sharply, which hit Indian companies like Bajaj Auto hard. The Pune-based company exports both two-wheelers and three-wheeler autos to the island nation.
            Bajaj Auto said its exports to Sri Lanka in May were nil, compared with a typical monthly average of 10,000 motorcycles and three-wheelers. Company officials had said earlier that the local distributor would want to clear existing inventory before placing new orders in the wake of the duty hike.
            The company now expects its exports to Sri Lanka will pick up from July.
            Meanwhile, Bajaj Auto's total three-wheeler CV sales continued to slip. In May, sales plunged 26% to 30,297 units. CV sales in April had declined 13%.
            Over April-May, the company has sold 7,33,809 units in total, up only 1%. Motorcycle sales over the last two months are up 4%, exports are up 5% and CV sales are down 19%.
            While Bajaj Auto's sales have hit speed bumps, its rivals continue to accelerate. Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India, third-largest two-wheeler maker in India, sold 2,21,540 units in May up 52% year-on-year. The growth was led by 65% rise in scooter sales and 37% uptick in motorcycle demand.
            India's largest two-wheeler maker Hero MotoCorp last week reported its sales rose 11% to 5,56,644 units.
            Bajaj Auto shares were down 1.3% to Rs 1,478.90 units in morning trade.

              I guess Bajaj has slipped into 3rd position in Indian 2W market since some months. Honda will now look to beat Hero, but may take some time.
