“Katie has been great. She had no interest in me whatsoever because I was a motorcycle racer. She hadn’t heard of me. She wouldn’t even know what Valentino Rossi looked like.

“It was only because her piano player was such a fan that he kept talking about it on the tour bus after he’d met me. “It was nice and a relief for someone so established to be attracted to me because of my personality.”

Motorcycle sales dwindling in India

by Leave a Comment

In a market like India, where two-wheelers enjoy a major share, shrunken sales figures of motorcycles in this year comes as a surprise to many.

The data furnished by SIAM shows that such a dip has been recorded for the first time since 2009. Sales fall of 8.5 percent has been recorded, at 7,66,123 units for the month under review. The reason for this dip in sales, SIAM states, is due to high inflationary rate in the economy, especially fuel price hike, and bad spell of monsoon, which has affected the buyer sentiments in both urban and rural areas. All major two-wheeler manufacturers have suffered this fall in sales. The percentage dip in the sales of some manufacturers is- TVS Motors (the highest, 21% dip) BajajAuto (with a dip of 10% in sales). Hero Motocorp weren’t left unaffected either and their sales fell for the first time in many years, as the demand for their entry-level commuters went down. However, the company expects their sales to grow again as the festive season approaches.
