Honda overtakes Bajaj Auto as the second-largest player in the country's two-wheeler market.

Honda is the world’s second largest two wheeler maker by volumes, second only to Hero MotoCorp . After its alliance with Hero was over , Honda was all on its own in the unpredictable Indian Market . After overcoming all these barriers Honda did manage to tighten its grip without Hero's assistance .

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India had jumped to spot number 3 in overtaking TVS in January and
February.  The next target was to overtake India’s second largest bike maker Bajaj which is a segment leader in the premium category. Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) had recorded an 11.2% sales growth in February over the previous month at 1.97 lakh units. The company was just short by 7000 units .

But for the first time Honda overtook  Bajaj Auto as the second-largest player in the country's two-wheeler market . Hero Motocorp continues to be the market leader by selling  a whopping 5 lakh plus two wheelers in March 2012 . TVS is currently in the 4th spot , way behind the leaders in terms of monthly and annual sales.

Honda managed to sell 212,812 units, higher than Bajaj Autos 201,183 units, in March 2012. But Bajaj Auto need not worry since 35% of Bajaj Auto Limited's sales are overseas . Not only that , Bajaj is way ahead of Honda in terms of Annual sales .
This battle between them is going to intensify  in coming days, particularly with Honda's entry into entry-level segment.

Honda plans to launch the Dream Yuga 110 commuter motorcycle by may end ,

Honda to launch the 2012 brand new Honda CBR 250R 'PEARL HERON BLUE TRIPLE TONE COLOR' by the end of this month.

Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India had unveiled the refreshed Honda CBR 250R, at the recently concluded Delhi Auto Expo 2012.
Honda entered the high performance 250 cc segment with its first affordable global sports motorcycle, Honda CBR 250R in March 2011. Since its introduction, the motorcycle received overwhelming acceptance among customers and critics.
We had notified you about the new paint job on the 2012 Honda CBR 250R , and here it is !
The 2012 Honda CBR 250R with the Pearl Heron Blue triple tone color will be the latest addition to the CBR 250R’ range for the Indian market. Incidentally, this color has already been available in the international market for quite a while now. Currently, the Honda CBR2 50R is available in three dual tone colors, red, silver and black. The new color will come at a premium of INR 1,500.

In this new color a combo of blue and white is made with a touch of red in it. The upper part ie the upper half fairing along with the tank is blue in color. Whereas the remaining part of the fairing as well as the rear cowls are white in color. Red color stickers run through the body and the front mudguard is also red in color.The production of the Honda CBR 250R in the new pearl heron blue color has already begun at Honda’s Indian manufacturing unit and a launch in the end of February is likely. Apart from the new color, we don’t expect to see the CBR 250R get any other major addition or facelift as the motorcycles is barely a year old in the Indian market. If anything, we hope that Honda shores up the quality levels on the CBR 250R.

The first generation of CBR 250R sold in India came with a long list of defective parts, which Honda replaced free of cost through a recall in late 2012. While the newer batches of the CBR 250R are said to be free of the kind of quality issues that plagued models from the previous batch, quick availability of spare parts for the CBR 250R remains a concern. With the second phase of the new plant at Tapukara, Rajasthan now functional, we hope that Honda manages to put the parts issue behind it. Currently, the Honda CBR 250R is available in ABS and Non-ABS variants.
