Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) has achieved another sales milestone, with customers in north India crossing the 60 lakh sales mark in the company's 18th year of operations. The 60,00,000 sales milestone has been driven by demand for Honda two-wheelers in the states of Jammu and Kashmir, Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and in Delhi and Chandigarh. For Honda, the first 10 lakh customers were added in the initial 9 years (from 2001 to 2010), but the next 50 lakh Honda customers took the same duration (2010-2019). The most recent 10 lakh Honda customers were added in a little over a year.

2018 honda activa 125

The Honda Activa range is the most popular model among scooters in India. Honda has a 125 cc version of the Activa as well.

According to a press release by HMSI, one of the major highlights in the rapid sales increase in the region is due to the growing acceptance of scooters. In the year 2006-07, scooters contributed only 7 per cent to overall two-wheeler sales, while currently, one in every three customers is buying a scooter in north India. Factors like improving roads, faster expansion of road network in rural areas, and more women joining the workforce has led to the growing demand for scooters, as well as increasing demand for a unisex two-wheeler that fulfils the need of every family member.

Honda currently has seven scooters in its two-wheeler line-up, including the Activa 5G, Activa 125, Aviator, Activa-i, Cliq, Dio and Grazia. The Honda Activa is not just the largest selling scooter in the country, but has time and again been the largest selling two-wheeler as well, surpassing Hero MotoCorp's bestselling Splendor motorcycle.

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.
