It has been over four months since the brand started selling BS6 models
Honda is reaping the rewards of being one of the first two-wheeler manufacturers to sell BS6 products as it has sold over a lakh units. It began selling the Honda Activa 125 BS6 from September 2019 and followed it up with the Honda SP 125 in November and the Honda Activa 6G, a couple of weeks ago. These new BS6 models build on the great bits from its predecessors by offering new nifty features, one of which is the ACG starter.

Honda 2Wheelers India leads #AQuietRevolution in BS-VI era!
Becomes First two-wheeler brand to cross 1 lac BS-VI sales
New Delhi, January 24, 2020: Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd. (HMSI) today announced that its three Bharat-Stage 6 complaint models (Activa 125 BS-VI, SP 125 and Activa 6G) have cumulatively breached the 1,00,000 units’ sales mark.
Leading the BS-VI transformation, Honda was the first two-wheeler manufacturer to start mass availability of BS-VI two-wheelers, nearly half a year ahead of the mandated April 1, 2020 deadline. Since then, Honda continues to lead as only two-wheeler manufacturer with three BS-VI compliant models (Activa 125 BS-VI, SP 125 and Activa 6G) already available in the market.
Thanking India for its overwhelming response for Honda’s BS-VI offerings, Mr. Yadvinder Singh Guleria, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd. said, “Honda is proud to lead BS-VI transition in two-wheeler industry almost 6 months ahead of the deadline. Our advanced technologies like eSP, many first-in-segment features like ACG starter motor and significant mileage-up have started #AQuietRevolution. Giving more value to customers are Honda’s 6-year warranty package - a first in two-wheeler industry (3 years standard + 3 years optional extended warranty) and attractive retail finance schemes with benefits up to Rs. 10,000 on our BS-VI line-up. The excitement will only grow as Honda’s BS-VI model line-up gets more robust and we move to 100% BS-VI production beginning February 2020.”
