Poor road conditions in India makes people prefer two-wheelers to cars, Honda Activa leads the market

New Delhi, July 21: India being a country where the road conditions are extremely poor, most of the people prefer a motorcycle instead of a scooter, considering better usability.

However, the sales figure of the Honda Activa begs to differ. After 17 years of its launch, the best-selling scooter of the country has surpassed the sales of the leading motorcycle to become the No.1 selling two-wheeler in the market for the last six months straight.

The company sold around 13.38 lakh units of the Activa till now in 2016, and the figure is approximately 1.04 lakh unit more than the top selling motorcycle, the Hero Splendor.

If we look at the sales figures of the same period in 2015, Honda has sold around 1.97 lakh unit more to attain the top position, as reported by thehansindia.com.

Commenting on this achievement, Yadvinder Singh Guleria, senior vice president, sales & marketing, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt Ltd said, “Activa today represents the metamorphosis of the society.
