The Hero Splendor is the largest selling motorcycle in India

"India continues to be the fastest-growing major economy in the world, even as global growth has been projected to moderate over the next couple of years. For a country of India's size and potential, I see huge appetite for sustained growth in the long-term. I believe it is certainly possible to further accelerate our GDP growth from the current level to a double digit if we can manage time-bound execution of our key projects in infrastructure and other key sectors," said Pawan Munjal, Chairman, Hero MotoCorp Limited.

"The domestic two-wheeler industry also has significant headroom to grow, given the penetration of two-wheelers in India is still quite low. There have been temporary setbacks in the third quarter of the current fiscal on account of multiple factors, leading to higher than normal inventory levels at dealerships. However, the fourth quarter has historically been positive and we look forward to an improved market situation in the coming months. Hopefully, the upcoming Budget will have enough impetus for the agriculture and social sectors to trigger a positive turnaround in the sentiments," Munjal added.

While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
