With 89,822 units sold in September 2022, 200-500cc motorcycles segment thrived with positive growth in both YoY and MoM analysis
This is one of the most interesting segments in motorcycle space in India. One which comprises fun, exciting and performant products. That said, this segment is completely overpowered by Royal Enfield with its slew of 350cc products. Royal Enfield has 6 products that take up slots within the top 7 motorcycles in this list.
Kicking things off, we have Classic 350 which doubled its sales from 13,751 to 27,571 units YoY. MoM growth was 45.16% and holds a staggering 30.7% share of this segment. Hunter 350 sales took a hit of 5.93% MoM which stood at 17,118 units in September 2022 over 18,197 units sold in September 2022 and holds a 19.06% share.

KTM’s fire-breathing 390 platform managed to sell 1,506 units and with that YoY growth was at 303.75% and MoM growth was at 81.45%. Bajaj’s Dominar 400 didn’t sell as much as its smaller sibling and sales dwindled 36.42% YoY and 20.14% MoM.
