      In rural India, Splendor is still the #1 choice. And Activa is still the undisputed leader in scooters. One of my friends was looking for a gearless scooter. He was confused with so much options all around. But his wise words were - Agar kucchh nehi milega to Activa hain na(if nothing is settled for, there is Activa)!

          Total 7 out of 10 top selling bikes are from Hero/Honda stable!!! (Honda's Engine). 2 from Bajaj, 1 from TVS.
          Bajaj's Pulsar and Disco sales have come down WRT last year, while all others have improved. Matter of concerned. More Showrooms and more Pulsars are needed sooner.

            Looks like Pulsars are the only 135cc+ brand in top ten, while the others are 100-125cc. Interesting times to be in the market to buy a bike and also to pick up Hero and Bajaj shares.

              Pulsar in general terms could mean all the way from135 to 220 including the 200ns. Why categorize it in general when they have 5 models. Also discovers. If splendor and hf deluxe were categorized as 1 i guess Hero will be uncatchable

                Pulsar sales at least 50% share must be from 150cc.

                I still can't digest why a lone scooter is sitting in the top and then the cb shine sales both are overrated plus overpriced .

                  wondering, what makes people choose this splendor? in the 4 wheel market people just rule out older engines and technology, for eg, ford figo and fiesta classic...old proven 1.4 is getting hit and they are gonna stop it soon...

                    But when you look at Alto ,omini they keep selling even with old tech engines (they change only if the emission norms make them to change ).

                    India's best selling SUV bolero will sell even with the old Di engine if emission norms permit .
