In India, the biggest shopping season is Diwali, a 5-day holiday all over the country (not unlike Black Friday + Cyber Monday here in the US)
'Dhanteras' is the 1st of these 5 days and is considered the best day for sales. This year, Honda Motorcycles India sold 165K 2-wheelers on that day! Keeping aside the fact that the vast majority of these MCs are in the 100cc to 150cc spectrum, these are very impressive numbers.
Honda Motorcycyles & Scooters India (HMSI) --> 165,000 units on 21st October 2014
Hero Motocorp (49% stake holder in Eric Buell Racing ) --> 150,000 units on 21st October 2014
Bajaj Auto (manufacturer of all global KTM 200s, 390s, RCs etc) hasnt disclosed their numbers, but its expected to be close to the 100,000 mark as well!
What's fascinating is that these volumes are truly remarkable, even for a large 2-wheeler nation such as India.
