Domestic sales in India's 150-200cc motorcycle class reached 192,576 units in May 2026, recording steady growth. Models including the Apache, Pulsar, Unicorn, FZ, R15, MT-15, XSR, and SP160 are driving this high-volume segment.
A figure of over 190,000 units a month in the 150-200cc class is staggering from a market perspective. In India this class is the core band bridging commuting and hobby. With names like the Apache, Pulsar, and R15 competing thick and fast, the depth here surpasses any other market in the world. I see this as the thermometer of the world's motorcycles.

First time hearing of the SP160, which manufacturer makes it?
I believe it's a Honda model exclusive to India -- they have a lot of local-only models.
The price war in this class feels like a microcosm of the South Asian market.
It's surprisingly broad that even the XSR and MT15 fall into this class.
The Apache and Pulsar duking it out in the same volume segment hasn't changed.
Having a precise figure like 192,576 units makes this valuable as a market research piece.
It says 'steady growth,' but without a year-over-year comparison, you can't tell the actual growth rate.
