Top 5 Best-Selling 125cc Bikes: January 2023

As usual, the Honda Shine sold almost as much as the other four bikes combined!

In India, the 125cc motorcycle segment is one of the best-selling segments, thanks to the motorcycles offering convenience and respectable fuel efficiency figures. So let's take a look at the list of 125cc bikes that dominated the January 2023 sales chart.

The long-reigning champion Honda Shine, was also second on the list of ’top 10 motorcycles sold in January 2023.’ However, the year-on-year (YoY) sales of the bike has declined by 5.03 per cent. Next came the Bajaj Pulsar range, consisting of the Pulsar NS 125 and the Pulsar 125. The Chakan-based manufacturer saw a healthy 12 per cent increase in YoY sales. 

What makes us enthusiasts happy is seeing the sporty TVS Raider back again on the list that’s dominated by commuters. The peppy, little bike sure is a hoot to ride in the city. It even saw a massive 139 per cent jump in sales despite being one of the priciest bikes on this list. 

 

Next on the list were the Hero Super Splendor and the Hero Glamour. While the Super Splendor saw an 18 per cent increase in YoY sales, the Glamour saw a shocking 60 per cent fall in the YoY sales. Now, Hero has indeed scaled down the bike’s production, but that’s only by about 36 per cent.

User Reviews

Good response from the customer

I bough this TVS raider in Jan 2026. Till now, i did not face any issues with it. This costs around 1.25 Lakhs including EMI. This can be a good commuter bike in 125cc bike models. E20 facility is also added in this bike. Handling is very good in this bike. I feel so comfortable when i ride on highways. I like rear foot support to provide comfort for pillion rider while having seat. Good mileage bike under 125cc bikes. This is kind of family bike with sporty look. City riding people can prefer this mostly. This is a best mileage bike under 1.25Lakhs. i would recommend to change the colour of ABS channel(red colour) to black. Read More
