Two Wheeler Sales July 2017: Suzuki Motorcycle India Posts Growth Of 62%

The last few months have hardly been docile for the Indian two wheeler industry that with several factors affecting sales. From BS-IV emission norms to the implementation of the GST regime, the two wheeler sector has stood the test and things are now looking positive once again. For the month of July 2017, sales have stabilised for two wheeler makers and an excellent example of the same is Suzuki Motorcycle India. With two strong selling models, the Japanese manufacturer has posted impressive numbers for the previous month.

Suzuki Motorcycle India sold a total of 40,038 units last month, a significant increase over the 24,703 units that were moved out in July last year. The bike maker also announced that it has recorded a growth of 40.6 per cent between April-July 2017, clocking total sales of 166,456 units including its premium range of motorcycles.

The Suzuki Access 125 and Gixxer are the company's bestselling models

While Suzuki hasn't revealed a break up of individual models, the numbers are certainly commendable. More so, considering the bike maker has not had an all-new launch in a year in the commuter motorcycle segment. The company's popular selling Suzuki Access 125 scooter and Gixxer and SF 155 cc motorcycles, continue to dominate the volumes.

More recently though, Suzuki did introduce the matte colour options on the Access and Let's scooters. Keeping the momentum going, the two wheeler makes is targeted to sell a total of 5 lakh units during the 2017-18 financial year. The company said it is expanding its dealer network and also becoming aggressive on exports.
