It alone outsold most of the brand’s motorcycle range combined. The second place goes to the Shine 125 with 1,35,076 units but it posted an 11 per cent YoY decline demonstrating rising competition in the commuter category.
The CB Unicorn 160 followed in the third position with 35,710 units. Meanwhile, the standard Shine performed strongly as well – climbing 55 per cent YoY to 26,148 units. The Dio dropped 44 per cent to 13,855 units last month while the Dio 125 recorded a domestic tally of 11,607 units without a prior-year comparison.
The CB 125 Hornet logged a tally of 8,752 units in January 2025 and the CB 350 jumped dramatically 224 per cent YoY to 5,500 units – one of the highest growth rates in the entire lineup.

The H’ness remained nearly unchanged at 2,302 units – essentially flat year-on-year – while smaller volume models like the Hornet 2.0 and CB200X posted modest declines and single-digit growth respectively. At the bottom of the chart, several products recorded zero dispatches in January 2025. The Dream, CB Unicorn 150 and CB500 were all part of it.
The electrified Activa E registered only 224 units as it has not been received well amongst customers while QC1 stayed at zero. Honda’s sales health currently rests heavily on a few mass-market scooters and commuter motorcycles. While premium offerings are showing pockets of rapid growth, it will have to be waited and seen whether they can keep up the momentum or not.
