Honda Sales Report: Honda India posted record sales for year 2017 with 57,94,893 units for the full year. This is the first time when Honda has crossed the 50 lakh sales mark in India.
Honda Activa and CB Shine takes all the credit of this huge achievement as no other product was even sold closer to their number in the company lineup.

Grazia is in a race to to leave Suzuki Access 125 behind this year. Honda is India’s second best selling brand in two wheeler market. Unlike Hero Moto Corp, Honda has a long list of products that are into the superbike segment. They have recently introduced 2018 Goldwing in India with two separate variants.
CBR series comes with 650F and 1000RR variant for the Indian market. Honda has the largest scooter lineup among all with Dio, Activa, Grazia, Navi and much more in terms of unique variants under these monikers. They are planning to grab the number one spot but that requires more inputs into the Dream series for defeating Hero Splendor.
