Hero has introduced the new Passion Pro, Super Splendor iSmart 125 and Passion XPro a few days ago and they would only help in pumping the sales further. Bajaj Auto’s entry-level sporty motorcycles are popular among young customers as the Pulsar range encountered strong sales last month as well with 43,392 units in eighth position. The re-entry of Pulsar 200 NS and the new 160 NS have proved to be a good move for Bajaj as the range now gives variety of options for buyers to choose from.
Royal Enfield revealed its new flagship 650 twins at the EICMA 2017 and they are expected to go on sale in India sometime next year. With the Classic 350 sandwiching Platina and Pulsar last month, the upcoming Continental GT and Interceptor may do its sales only good. The Classic 350 is for long the brand’s leader in domestic sales as 49,534 units were recorded in the eleventh month of the year.
Managing a total of 51,809units, the Platina, at sixth place, is another jewel in the crown for Bajaj while the TVS Apache and Honda Dream rounded out top ten with 25,515 and 24,621 units respectively. They are a lot of new entries expected in the early phase of next year to spice up the sales across the two-wheeler space in India.
