2 Two Wheeler News: [March 2007]

Latest news from the world of Indian Two Wheelers..

  • Hero Honda Numbers improve by 12% (in Feb 2007), Bajaj Numbers decline by 2% (in Feb): Click here..

  • Hero Honda, TVS "count lost millions" in the Cricket World Cup 2007: Click here..

The increase in Hero Honda sales can be attributed more due to their increased focus on the 100 C.C segment (CD Deluxe for example). The CBZ Xtreme has done well than its previous 150 C.C non-achiever, the "Achiever".. but still the actual numbers have come from the 100 C.C segment.

"With India out of the Cricket World Cup in the first round.. Hero Honda and TVS must by ruing over its decision of spending around 15-25 crores for the World Cup.."

Question remains whether Hero Honda is making more profits than Bajaj..?? Hero Honda has launched an aggressive advertising campaign for its CBZ Xtreme. It is even advertising heavily during this 2007 Cricket World Cup. On the other hand Bajaj hasn't bothered to launch any advertisements (barring a few print ads) for its new Pulsar range.

Now with India out of the Cricket World Cup in the first round.. Hero Honda and TVS must by ruing over its decision of spending around 15-25 crores for the World Cup.

Honda India Chief says: "Of course, 100 cc is Hero Honda’s major segment but it’s size is also the biggest in the motorcycle market. So there is more room for both companies to co-exist". But it is clear that if both Hero Honda and Honda caters to the same target segment of 100 c.c, then it can surely hurt the numbers of Hero Honda.

I think, people are still going to watch the World Cup for the Australian matches. The last Australia-South Africa match was a real entertainer. So, its not a total waste spending all that money.

For me at least it's over.
