The commuter segment is where the sales volume comes from for all the motorcycle manufacturers. These are the simplest, lightest and the most efficient machines amongst all motorcycles and therefore, most manufacturers have multiple models in order to capture a bigger share of the market. Within the same, the 125cc motorcycle segment has seen immense growth in the past few years.
With slightly more power than the entry-level 100-110cc commuter bikes, the 125cc segment is also the volumes segment for motorcycle manufacturers. In a way, the status quo in this segment is what you would call perfect competition.
Now, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India is clearly the leader in this segment. The 125cc Honda CB Shine is the largest selling motorcycle in the world, within the Honda portfolio of course and the second largest selling Honda in India. Just a few months ago, Honda had given it an upgrade in the form of the CB Shine SP - with some new premium cosmetic upgrades, and an extra fifth gear in the transmission.
