Yamaha R15 is now the most selling fully-faired motorcycle of India, scoring 15,008 buyers in October 2018. Bajaj Avenger is another best selling product, getting 7225 units and standing exclusively for the cruiser body type.
Hero Xtreme got a new lease of life with 200R, registering 7126 units in the month of October. Honda CB Hornet is another great option that rivals Pulsar, Apache, and FZ in India.
