Sales Comparison: TVS Apache RR 310 vs Kawasaki Ninja 300

TVS Apache RR 310 vs Kawasaki Ninja 300 (Sales Report): Kawasaki Ninja 300 and TVS Apache RR 310 are two indirect rivals with a price gap of INR 71,000 between them. Still, the former recently posted 174 units in the month of May 2019, left behind by just 1 unit from the sales number posted by Apache RR 310 during the same period.

The flagship Apache RR 310 was good for 175 units, leaving TVS with a not-so-comfortable number for a product that was expected to reach four-digit sales figure occasionally. However, the sales number does not include the version with a slipper clutch and thus, expecting the RR 310 to bounce back with a bigger number in June sales report will not be wrong at all. Even at 175 units, the Apache RR 310 managed to beat the Honda CBR250R, which was good for just 54 units in May 2019.
