The Bajaj Pulsar range started the affordable sporty motorcycle trend in the country with the original Pulsar 150 model which was launched many years before. The latest model line of the Bajaj Pulsar is available in 150cc, 180cc, 200cc and 220cc formats; the former being the big-seller while the second-last is the most premium.

Verdict

The list of top-selling two-wheelers of last month is somewhat similar to that of July 2018. The Honda Activa has made record sales as always while the Hero Splendor is slowly lagging more behind. You can expect the most of the models on this list to appear on the sales report of September 2018 too. The majority of Indian buyers prefer affordable commuter bikes as their first choice and manufacturers are trying their best to introduce more such products.
