Yamaha and Road Prince have the least number of bikes sold this month. It is an alarming situation for Yamaha. Its sales have declined on a monthly as well as annual basis. The monthly sales have declined by almost -17% whereas the annual difference is around -50%.
The situation is not different for Road Prince as its monthly and annual sales have declined sharply as well.

The difference in bike sales for Road Prince is the highest if we take the percentage into consideration. It is shocking as Road Prince bikes are mostly purchased by low to medium-income people.
Final Verdict
The reason behind this sharp decline in bike sales is probably the frequent price hikes this year. Even the sales of Chinese bike manufacturers like United Motorcycle and Road Prince are facing a sharp decline in sales. It shows that even the common man is finding it hard to purchase a new bike. Many people have started to buy used bikes due to frequent price hikes by companies this year.
