The Honda Shine 125 has been Honda’s bread-and-butter model for years. It’s not only the best-selling 125cc bike but is also the second best-selling motorcycle in general in India. Honda sold 1,38,665 units in the month of July 2025, which is a 2.85% increase in MoM (Month-On-Month) sales when compared to June 2025, while the YoY (Year-On-Year) sales show a slight decline of 1.36%. Expect the sales to go up in the following months thanks to the festive season.

The TVS Raider 125 practically popularised the sporty 125cc segment in the country. It has been quite a popular motorcycle among the buyers who want a fuel-efficient motorcycle that can handle city commutes with ease and also the occasional highway runs.
TVS sold 24,511 units of the bike in July 2025, that’s a 10.80% decrease in MoM sales, while the YoY sales have been quite consistent with just a 0.14% decrease. Even though the brand launched two new colour schemes for the Raider recently, the launch of the Hero Glamour X 125 poses a big threat to the Raider’s sales. We’ll have to wait and see how the numbers turn up in the following months.

The Hero Super Splendor has been synonymous with reliability, ease of riding, and hassle-free ownership since its launch. It has all the good fundamental qualities, just like the Hero Splendor Plus, but comes with a larger 125cc engine.
Despite these qualities it managed to tally only 12,488 units in July 2025. This is a significant decrease in MoM sales by 38.87%. The YoY sales, though, show an increase of 18.54%. 
Hero Xtreme 125R

In July 2025, Hero sold 12,287 units of the Hero Xtreme 125R, a 23.06% decrease in MoM sales. The YoY sales too show a similar trend with a 52.44% decline, which is quite a lot. This is despite the launch of the single-piece seat variant of the Xtreme 125 in April. It’s high time Hero offers a similar set of features as the Glamour X 125 on the sportier Xtreme 125R – that will go a long way in bringing the Xtreme’s market share back.

Everyday rides upto hundred kms can be done easily, I ride daily around 80 kms and it is very easy for me and it's a sports bike even with only 125 CC engine.Read More
- TVS- RAIDERI choose raider because one of my friend suggested me to buy as this bike is good nice looks and good mileage. The solo seat version of the bike is very good looking like similar to pulsar and it feels very light weight to ride this bike. The ride with the TVS raider was amazing till now, no breaking points were given by this bike, still rides the same smooth and the sound of the filter of this bike is best. The disc provided is also good, breaks tyres, engines, every thing is very good. I would like to recommend this bike to everyone other because of its looks, smooth rides, pretty good disc, nice colours, best engines, nice mileage and more than that the trust on TVS. They have been creating beats like this for very long now.Read More
- good bike for daily useOverall very good bike with reasonable price and engine performance, but yes some vibration in engine at high speed around 70. Looks wise also clean and pickup is not very good or bad. I used honda shine in past pickup was better than this one and yellowish digital meter can be also negative for some user.Read More
