Honda 2Wheelers BS6 Range Sales Cross 11 Lakh Units In India

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) has announced that its cumulative BS6 two-wheeler sales have crossed the 11 lakh units mark in the domestic market. The manufacturer commenced despatches of its BS6 vehicles in September 2019, and the new milestone has been achieved in about nine months. It also needs to be noted that the past four months have been one of the worst for the auto sector due to the Coronavirus pandemic, which makes the achievement all the more special. In contrast, Honda's main competitor, Hero MotoCorp only transitioned to BS6 emission norms earlier this year.

Truly, it's a quiet revolution from Honda in the BSVI era as our product portfolio stands out as the Industry's most diverse starting from 110 cc scooters and motorcycles going up to 1100 cc premium adventure bike. As many customers are now preferring personal mobility for safety and hygiene in the challenging times of New Normal, Honda is unlocking new value with its many initiatives like online bookings, attractive retail finance schemes, industry-first up to six year's warranty option etc."

Honda says that the company had already clocked over 6.5 lakh units of BS6 two-wheeler sales between October and March during the 2019-20 financial year. The other 2.5 lakh despatches have happened in the past four months amidst the lockdown. HMSI transitioned to the BS6 norms with the Activa 125, which was followed by the SP 125, Activa 6G, Dio, CB Unicorn 160, and the CB Shine 125. The company also used this opportunity to discontinue some of its low-selling models including the Honda Activa-i, Aviator, CBR 250R and the Navi. The latter though is still exported from India to Latin American markets.

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.
