Honda Two-wheeler Sales Performance April 2021: Honda Activa And Shine Still Quite Popular, 4 CB500Xs Sold
Second wave deals major blow to the Japanese manufacturer
Second wave deals major blow to the Japanese manufacturer
Honda took a major hit with the second wave of COVID-19. Sales of its highly popular models have gone down drastically as dealerships were forced to shut shop in most regions across the country. Here’s how each model performed in April:
Usually, the Activa sells close to two lakh units a month, the Activa 6G and Activa 125 combined. Now, with dealerships shut for over a month and a half, only half of the monthly targets have been achieved. Even the Shine (as well as the SP 125) has not been able to cross the usual one lakh unit mark.
What is even more troubling for Honda is that its 160-200cc motorcycles simply aren’t drawing enough crowds. The Unicorn is the only bike registering respectable sales, but the numbers of the X-Blade and the Hornet 2.0 are simply pitiful.
Thankfully, the H’ness CB350 has worked out well. The retro flavoured Honda hasn’t been able to sell as well as bikes such as the Royal Enfield Classic 350 or the Meteor 350, but that was bound to happen given Honda’s limited Big Wing dealership reach.

- thank to the appVery good app, easy to use, and helps find the best one for myself. I wish it would improve more in the future and help us in finding and giving the best scooter. Thanks a lot to this app for so many gifts and rewards. Since if we got to buy a new bike or scooter at a dealer, it costs a lot, but it now helps us to find the best one.Read More

- the best liability i have boughtI chose this bike because I liked its retrospective and a twitch of modern blend along with very comfortable riding position and smooth firing of engine. Really good for everyday commute in city and a bit long weekend rides. The ride has been smooth and comfortable, especially on the roads, the handling feels stable and has enough power for highways. Mileage is descent as I already have experienced hunter 350 and overall the bike gives emense pleasure while driving. Yes, I would recommend it to someone who is really into bike and not into some name hypes, also who is interested in for stylish daily commuting bike as well as weekend rides. Perfect for the ones who love relaxed crusing.Read More
