Japan’s Yamaha Motor Co. Ltd. and Honda Motor Co. have been going quite high on their global brand name and sporty offerings to become one of the dominant players in a market where motorcycle accounts for a large percentage of the passenger vehicles sales.
Honda saw a growth of about 30 percent in the fiscal year 2012-13 that ended on March. The Indian bike makers, Hero witnessed 2 percent fall and Bajaj saw a decline of 4 percent. Bajaj revealed that the quarterly profit for the company was 7.66 billion rupee which is little less from the same period last year. Managing Director, Rajiv Bajaj told that nothing is expected to change in the short term and there is currently no growth in the market.
Hero MotoCorp that split from the Honda in 2011 saw a straight third quarterly decline in the profit. Honda has currently become the no. 2 player in the global market by selling scooters, sales network and entry level bikes. Bajaj is currently not making or selling any scooter.
