INTRODUCTION
Throughout the centuries man has striven to expand his capabilities through the use of machine. His
ever inventive mind has constantly devised ways to use tool to increase his abilities to explore theworld around him. To go faster, deeper, higher and further than before. Coupled with his need to
find new thrills, new adventures and new modes of transportation, the invention refinement of the
motorcycle seems an inevitable out come.
It would seem that Michelangelo conceived of the bicycle as early 14 th century. And his drawing
shows a remarkable resemblance to he modern day bike. It had wheels of similar size and even
pedals and chain. Albeit without any apparent means of steering.
Through never built, it was a remarkably clever design, and early bicycle makers would have done
well to study his concepts, there have, in fact been 4 machines built based on his drawing, attesting
to the viability of his design.
It wasnt until 1869 that the first serious attempts were made to produce motor driven bicycles.
These very first were powered by steam, and driven by leather belts or as in the case of the roper
steam velocipede of 1869 by a system of levers attached to a crank on the driven wheel.
In 1885 the Daimler, Europe this is consider by many as the first true motorcycle or motor bicycle,
as it was the first to employ an internal combustion engine and was designed from the ground up to
be motor powered. Designed by gottlibe Daimler it was powered by an Otto cycle engine producing
about horse powers. Note this design again employed wooden wheels and Daimler dropped the
twist grip controls from his 1877 design in favor of leavers on the frame.
In 1894 Hildebrand and Wolfmuller, France Worlds first production motorcycle. It came with a1428 cc water cooled four-stroke motor producing 2.5 bhp. And speed of 25 mph.
In 1898 orient-Aster, USA the American made production motorcycle was this entry built by the
Metz Company, in Waltham, mass, it used an aster engine that was a French copy of the Metz
Company, in Waltham, mass.

INTRODUCTION TO INDIAN TWO WHEELER INDUSTRY
The two-wheeler industry in India has grown rapidly in the country since the announcement of the
process of liberalization in 1991 by the then finance minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, now PrimeMinister of India.
Previously, there were only a handful of two-wheeler models available in the country. Currently,
India is the second largest producer of two-wheelers in the world. It stands next only to China and
Japan in terms of the number of two-wheelers produced and the sales of two-wheelers respectively.
In the year 2008-2009, the annual production of two-wheelers in India stood at around 7600801
units.
The trend of owning two-wheelers is due to a variety of facts peculiar to India. One of the chief
factors is poor public transport in many parts of India. Additionally, two-wheelers offer a great deal
of convenience and mobility for the Indian family.
Bajaj auto began trading in imported Vespa Scooters in 1948. Meanwhile Automobile Products of
India (API) commenced production of scooters in the country in the early 50s. Until 1958, API and
Enfield were the only producers of two-wheelers in India. However, Bajaj signed a technical
collaboration in 1960 with Piaggio of Italy to produce Bajaj Scooters. This deal expired in 1971.
The condition of motorcycle manufacturers was no different. Until the mid 80s, there were only
three major motorcycle manufacturers in India namely Rajdoot, Escorts, and Enfield. The two-
wheeler market was opened to foreign manufacturers in the mid 80s. The industry, which had seen a
smooth ride before, faced fierce foreign competition.
Motorcycle companies like the Yamaha, Honda, and Kawasaki, set up plants in India in
collaboration with various Indian two-wheeler companies. Companies like Escorts, Rajdoot and
faced immense competition from smaller 100 cc Japanese technology motorbikes. Bikes
manufactured by Hero Honda, the only company manufacturing four-stroke bikes at that time,
gained massive popularity.

In the mid 80s, Kinetic introduced a gearless scooter in collaboration with Honda. This scooter
became instantly popular with the younger generation, especially people who found it difficult to use
geared scooters. The introduction of scooters created another segment for people such as women andteenagers who could not get used to driving either motorcycles or gearless scooters. Many
companies such as Kinetic, TVS, and Hero also started manufacturing mopeds that proved
immensely popular with people who wanted a simple riding machine.
The change in the governments policy owning to pollution control norms and the Kyoto agreement
saw the phasing out of two stroke two-wheelers from production. Currently there are around 10 two-
wheeler manufacturers in the country, they being Bajaj, Hero, Hero Honda, Honda, Indus , Kinetic,
Royal Enfield, Suzuki, TVS, and Yamaha.
The latest trend in the two-wheeler market is the introduction of electrically operated vehicles from a
range of manufacturers such as Indus and Hero. These can be recharged from convenient household
electrical points. The only disadvantage is speed, which is restricted to around 25 miles per hour.
Currently, the motorcycle market is witnessing a demand for higher volume engines. Previously, the
100 c bikes were very popular owning to the high fuel efficiency offered. However, the market ismaturing fast. Sensing this movement, the manufacturers launched various models in 125cc, 135cc,
150cc, 160cc, 180cc, 200cc, 225cc, and even 250cc by considering not only fuel efficiency but
power as well.

Our two wheeler industry is divided into three categories :-
Motorcycle :- Motorcycle dominates the industry and almost 4.2 million motorcycles are sold
annually. Hero Honda is the clear leader in motorcycle and sell more than 185000 motorcyclemonthly followed by Bajaj Auto and selling more then 105000 , Honda 55000,and remaining by
others (Yamaha , LML, Kinetic etc) .
Ungeared scooter : - Ungeared scooter segment is also growing quickly and the total industry
size is almost 54000 vehicle monthly. Honda enjoys the leading position and is on top with
21000 followed by TVS 20000 kinetic 9000 and Bajaj 4000.
Geared scooter :- geared scooter facing negative growth from last 3-4 years the total industry
size is 25000 thousand vehicle monthly Bajaj stays on the top by selling 15000 thousand vehicle
followed by Honda 9000 and remaining by other.

The Honda story is the story of one man, Soichiro Honda, and his unparalleled achievement of
bringing motor cycles to the masses. Soichiro Honda was a racer, a businessman, and a
manufacturer. But most of all he was a dreamer. He dreamed of a better way of making piston rings,founded a small company, and began production. He dreamed of giving people everywhere an
economical form of transportation, and began producing small motorcycles, including one built in
1949 called the D-Type Dream.
He also loved racing too. So his company built bigger and faster machines, two, four, five and six-
cylinder race bikes and won the Isle of Man.
Honda Motor Company is by far the world's biggest motorcycle maker. Honda's first motorcycle
was born out of necessity in immediate post World War II Japan, where public transportation was
desperately overcrowded and gasoline severely restricted.
Looking for a solution to his, and thousands of others', personal transport problems, Honda came
across a job lot of 500 war surplus two-stroke motors designed to power electric generators; nobody
else wanted them so Honda picked them up cheap.
His aim was to adapt them for attachment to push-bikes and, by October 1946, his small factory in
Hamamatsu was making complete, makeshift motor bikes using proprietary cycle frames. Because
gasoline was in short supply, Honda adapted his motors to run on turpentine, a fuel that he himself
distilled from pine trees and sold throughout Japan. Turpentine (or gas thinned out with turpentine)
was not the best thing for powering motorbikes, and required a lot of strenuous pedaling to warm the
engine up enough before you could get going.
Honda's first bikes were very successful and supplies of the surplus engines ran out after a few
months. Business was good by then, so he decided to manufacture his own motors. Using the surplusmotor as a model, Honda designed and built his own 50cc engine.
In November 1947, the 1/2 horsepower A-Type Honda was being manufactured and sold as a
complete motorbike. Because the motorbike gave off a lot of smoke and a stench of turpentine it was
known as the "Chimney".

Soichiro Honda started Honda Motor Company in 1948, at the age of 41. Soon after he hooked up
with financial whiz Takeo Fujisawa and together they built an empire.
1948 saw Honda introduce a 90cc version of the A-Type known as the "B-Type".
By 1949 Honda came out with the "D-Type". Mr. Honda was involved in every step of the two-
stroke D-Type Dream's design and manufacture. This was Honda's first motorcycle. This was far
from simply slotting a motor into a pushbike frame. Honda called his machine 'The Dream', because
his dream of building a complete, motorcycle had come true. Soichiro Honda was an engineer and
was always looking to produce better and more sophisticated machines.
It turned out to be the 146cc, OHV, four-stroke E-Type Dream. A powerful machine producing 5
1/2bhp capable of 50mph. It had a steel frame and proper suspension front and rear. By October
1951 the new Dream was in production at the rate of 130 units per day.
In 1952 Honda produced the first "Cub" F-Type, a 1/2 horsepower, 50cc, two-stroke engine that
was produced in huge numbers. You could get one to fit to your pushbike or buy the complete red
and white Honda "Auto Bai". Less than a year after its Introduction, production was 6500 units per
month, at that time it was 70% of Japan's powered two-wheeler market.
In 1953 Honda produced the 90cc, four-stroke single, a motorcycle of even greater sophistication.
This was known as the Benly, in Japanese this means "convenience". The J-Type Benly had a three-
speed gearbox, produced 3.8bhp, a pressed steel Frame, rear suspension with the engine and
swinging arm on a sprung pivot, and telescopic front suspension. Before long they were selling at a
rate of 1000 units a month.
In 1954 a 200cc scooter, the Juno, was introduced to capture some of the sales from the Vespa
scooter copies that were being built in Japan. Honda produced different versions of the Dream and
Benly motorcycles over the next few years incorporating different size engines (up to 350cc) and
other refinements.

In September 1957 Honda introduced their first twin-cylinder motorcycle, the sophisticated 250cc
OHC four-stroke C70 Dream. It was the forerunner of Honda's high-performance 125 and 250cc
twins.
In early 1958 Honda fitted an electric starter to the 250cc Dream and named it the C71 and, in 1959,
the latest Benly an incredibly sophisticated 125cc OHC four-stroke twin, capable of 70mph was
introduced as the C92.
In July 1958 Honda introduced in Japan what became the world's most successful motor cycle, the
C100 Super Cub.
The Super Cub was developed over three years to be a cheap and practical motorcycle that literally
anyone could use. It used a 50cc four-stroke OHV motor and centrifugal clutch with three-speed
transmission. It was so easy to operate that even new riders could ride it as easily as a pushbike. Its
innovative frame without a crossbar made it popular with the ladies and set a new trend in commuter
motorcycling. The word "scooterette" was coined to describe this step-through style motorbike
which sold in 50, 70 and 90cc versions.
In 1959 it was the first Honda motorcycle sold in the U.S., eventually becoming the world's best-
selling vehicle (30 million to date). As proof the original concept and design was perfect is the fact
that today's C50, C70 and C90s have only detail changes to set them apart from the machines of 25
years ago.
That same year, 1959, Honda introduced the 250cc C72 Dream in Amsterdam. This was the first
Japanese bike to be officially shown in Europe. It surprised the crowd with its unusual pressed steel
frame, swing arm and front leading link forks, sophisticated OHC all aluminum engine, electric
starter and indicators.
In the UK learners had just been restricted to motorcycles of this size and wanted the fastest bikes
they could legally ride. The Honda's were the fastest 250s around, and the C72 with its
improvements like 12-volt electric's and wet sump lubrication, successor of the C71, was capable of
80mph and could still get 66 miles per gallon.

The CB92 retained the pressed-steel frame and leading link forks while the CB72 received a tubular
style frame and telescopic front suspension.
In 1961 two years after Honda started selling Super Cubs, Honda stunned the racing world with
"Mike the Bike" Hailwood's twin victories at the Isle of Man. It was the first of an unprecedented
string of victories that was only the beginning of Honda's racing tradition.
From the beginning, Mr. Honda dedicated his company to racing, racking up over 100 major
motorcycle championships around the world. What was learned from building high-performance
racing machines later led to the development of groundbreaking production of motorcycles.
The classic CB72 and CB77 helped fuel interest in riding, got America on two wheels, and
established Honda as a serious player. The Hawk name has appeared on Honda models CB72, CB77,
CB400T, NT650, VTR1000F ever since, the latest being the 1998 VTR1000F.
In 1962 this breakthrough advertising "You meet the nicest people on a Honda" shattered the myth
that motorcycles were only for tough guys and rebels. It reached out and made Honda and
motorcycling in general, appealing to everyone.
The C77 a 305cc version of the Dream and the CB77, a Super Sports motorcycle producing 28.5bhp
were introduced in 1963.
In 1964 the C95 a 154cc version of the Benly and a 161cc version Of the CB160 was also offered.
The Hondells recorded "Little Honda" in 1964. Honda entered the American pop culture as the
subject of this hit song.
In 1965 Honda, always eager for a new market, jumped into the big leagues with their first big, fast
production motorcycle, the innovative 43bhp CB450 twin. This was a double overhead-camshaftmachine with torsion bar valve springs that would do a genuine 104mph, a machine to challenge the
500cc-plus bikes.
Despite its performance, sales of the CB450 worldwide were Poor. A number of engineering
changes were made, in 1967 a five-speed gearbox was added.

In 1967 Honda had their first big off-road win in the "first" Baja 1000.
In 1968 Honda stopped production of the CB72 and CB77 and produced a new line of high
performance SOHC twins with five-speed gearboxes, called the CB250 and CB350, with the CB350
able to hit 106mph.
At the Tokyo Show of 1968 Honda, after months of tantalizing rumor, unveiled a landmark
achievement that would change the motorcycling world forever. A 750cc bike with four cylinders
and a disc brake that was so fast and powerful a new word, "superbike", was coined to describe it.
The CB750F four was the biggest bike out of Japan, proving that a high-performance motorcycle
could also be very reliable.
In April 1969 Honda set the motorcycle world on fire with the introduction of the CB750.
Performance was staggering, easily hitting 120mph and at the time it had better acceleration than
anything else on the road.
In 1969 the first Honda automobile sold in the U.S., leading Honda to become a preeminent
automotive power.
Performance vis--vis Industry
The Indian two wheeler industries has seen a paradigm shift from being a regime of regulation and
tight control in the 1980s to a more liberalized and a competitive present day era. After missing out
on the initial boom in two wheeler segment during the period of 1993-1996, Honda has emerged as a
-
7/28/2019 Bhawani Singh
17/75
world leader. The gap between motorcycles sold by Honda and its closest rival is approximately 1 m
units (23% of industry size). One of the reasons for the tremendous performance of Honda is the
significant increase of share of motorcycles in the two-wheeler segment, from 42% in FY98 to 77%
in FY08. No doubt, that the shift in preference of Indian populace from scooters and mopeds towardsmotorcycles has facilitated the growth of Honda. However its performance vis--vis industry
indicates that the performance of Honda was better than the industry peers, barring two years. In the
fourteen-year period ending FY08, it has achieved a CAGR of 30% in two-wheeler volumes against
11% of the industry.
HONDA`S PRESENT STANDING
Honda Motor Company, Japan with its headquarters in Tokyo, has manufacturing operations in 32
countries with 109 production bases.

The company principal of Honda Worldwide is dedication to supplying products of the highest
quality yet at a reasonable price for worldwide customer satisfaction.
It has 3 business divisions namely 2-wheelers, 4-wheelers and Power Products. Apart from HMSI
that manufactures 2-wheelers, the other business divisions in India include Honda Siel Cars India
Limited (HSCI) and Honda Siel Power Products Limited (HSPP).
The HMSI factory is spread over 52 acres, with a covered area of about 85,815 square meters at
Manesar, Gurgaon district of Haryana. The foundation stone for the factory was laid on 14th
December 1999 and the factory was completed in January 2001. The initial installed capacity was
100,000 scooters per year, which has reached 6,00,000 scooters by the year by 2007 and motorcycle
capacity shall be 4,00,000 per annum. The total investment outlay for the initial capacity was Rs.
215 crores and now the accumulated investment is 800 crores.
Honda`s fundamental design philosophy seeks to maximise space and comfort for people, while
minimising the space required for mechanical components. With this aim in mind, Honda's R&D
activities include product-specific development and fundamental research.
Let's talk about few of the advanced technologies that Honda has:
Combi Break System
Generally, it is not easy to control a 2-wheeler while braking during emergencies and bad road
conditions. This system not only allows easy & simultaneous operation of the front & rear brake but
also provides optimal braking performance. Once the left side brake lever is pressed, the system
distributes the appropriate braking power between the front and rear wheels, which assures complete
safety for the rider.
HondaMatic Transmission
The compact, efficient & oil pressure controlled Hondamatic Transmission is the world's first fully
automatic transmission system, which delivers a dynamic combination of torque & excellent

accelerator response for a constant and superior driving experience. The transmission is being used
in Honda's all terrain vehicles. Honda is working hard to introduce this Hondamatic in two-wheelers.
Fuel Injection System
Honda's fuel injection technology is designed to realize ideal combustion, which results in delivering
maximum power output, greatly improved fuel efficiency and yet be environment-friendly.
Idle Stop System
Honda has created an advanced Idle Stop System that reduces fuel consumption while totally
blocking out toxic exhaust gas and unwanted noise. It enables the engine to stop automatically for 3
seconds after the vehicle stops moving. And when the throttle is opened, the vehicle engine restarts
and takes off smoothly.

CONSUMER BUYING BEHVIOUR
The main aim of marketing is to meet and satisfy target customer`s needs and wants. Buyer behavior is the study of the act of a customer who intends to buy a product, his likes and dislikes and
the factors that influence his purchasing decision. The field of consumer behavior studies how
individuals, groups and organization select, buy, use goods, service, ideas, or experience to satisfy
their needs and desires understanding consumer behavior and knowing a customer is never simple.
The wealth of products and service produced in a country make our economy strong. The behavior
of human being during the purchase is being termed as Buyer Behavior. Customer says one thing
but does another. They may not be in touch with their deeper motivations. They are responding to
influences that change their mind at the last minute. A buyer may take a decision either to save or
spend the money.
Definition of Buyer Behavior:-
Buyer behavior is all psychological, Social and physical behaviors of potential customers as they
become aware of evaluating, purchasing, consuming and telling others about product & service.
-
7/28/2019 Bhawani Singh
32/75
Consumer Buying Decision Process
There are following five stages in consumer buying decision process.
1. Problem identification:-
The buying process starts when the buyer recognizes a problem or need. The need can be triggered
by internal or external stimuli. Marketers need to identify the circumstances that trigger a particular
need. By gathering information from a number of consumers, Marketers can identify the most
frequent stimuli that spark an interest in a product category. They can then develop marketing
strategies that trigger consumer interest.
2. Information Search:-
The consumer tries to collect information regarding various products/service. Through gathering
information, the consumer learns about completing brands and their features. Information may be
collected form magazines, catalogues, retailers, friends, family members, business association,
commercial, chamber of commerce, telephone directory, tradefair etc. Marketers should find out thesource of information and their relative degree of importance for the consumers.
Personal Sources: Family, friends, neighbor, as quittances.
Commercial Source: Advertising, sales persons, dealers, packaging, displays.
Public sources : mass media, consumer, rating organizations.
Experimental sources: Handling. Examine, using the product.

3. Evaluation of alternative:-
There is no single process used by all consumers in all buying situations. There are several processes
included in it.
First, the consumer is trying to satisfy need.
Second, the consumer is looking for certain benefits from the product.
The marketer must know which criteria the consumer will use in the purchase decision.
4. Choice of purchasing decision :-
From among the alternatives available the consumer makes the solution.
There are a few questions in the mind of a buyer like what to buy?, What type of product he must
buy?, From whom he must buy?, What would be the mode of payment? And so on...
The marketer up to this stage has tried every means to influence the purchase behavior, but thechoice is properly consumer`s. In the evaluation stage the consumer forms preferences among the
brands in the choice set. The consumer may also form an intention to but the most preferred brand.
5. Post Purchase Behavior:-
After the purchase of the product, the consumer may experience the same level of product or he may
not. The Marketers job does not ends with the buying of product by customer. After selling of the
product he must monitor the post-purchase satisfaction, post-purchase action, post-purchase use and
disposal.
-
7/28/2019 Bhawani Singh
34/75
Post Purchase Satisfaction :-
The buyer`s satisfaction is a function Of closeness between the buyer, `s expectation and the
products Perceiver performance. The larger the gap between expectation and performance the
greater is the consumer dissatisfaction.
Post purchase Action:-
The Consumer`s satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the product influence subsequent behavior. If the
consumer is satisfied, he or she will exhibit a higher probability of purchasing the product again.Dissatisfaction among the consumers may abandon and boycott the product.
Post-Purchase Use or Disposal :-
The marketer should also monitor new buyers use and dispose of the product. If the consumer store
the product in a close, the product is probably not very satisfying. If the consumer throws the
product away, the marketer needs to know how they dispose of it; especially it can be hurt the
environment.

Characteristic of Buyer Behaviors
The chief characteristics of the buyers behaviors are as follow:-
(1) It consists of mental and physical activities which consumers undertake to get goods and
services and obtain satisfaction from them.
(2) It includes both observable activities such as walking through the market to examine
merchandise and making a purchase and mental activities-such as forming attitudes, perceiving
advertising material, and learning to prefer particular brands.
(3) Consumer behavior is very complex and dynamic and is constantly changing. And therefore,
management needs to adjust with the change otherwise the consumer may shift to other product.
(4) The individuals specific behaviors in the market place is affected by internal factor, such as need
, motives, perception, and attitudes, as well as by external environmental influences such as the
family social groups, culture, economics and business influences.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Introduction
Marketing research is the function which links the consumer, customer and public to the marketers
through information used to identify and define marketing, opportunities and problems, generates
refine marketing action; monitor marketing performance; and improve understanding of marketingas a process.
Marketing research specifies the information required to address these issues; designs the method for
collection information manages and implements the data collection process; analysis the results and
communication the findings and their implication.
Research definition:
Research is careful inquiry or examination to discover new information and relationship and to
expand and to verify exiting knowledge,
Research always starts with questions or a problem. Its purpose is to find answer to questions
through the application of the scientific method. It is a systematic and intensive study directed
towards a more complete knowledge of the subject studies.
Research design
Research design is the plan, structure and strategy of investigation conceived so as to obtain answer
to research question and to control variance.

From definition it is evident that research design is more or less a blueprint of research.
At the outset may be noted that there are several ways of studying and tackling a problem. There is
no single perfect design. The research design can be classified in to three broad categories:
(A) Exploratory
(B) Descriptive
(C) Casual
Exploratory research is focus on the discovery of ideas. Exploratory research is carried out to define
problems and developed hypothesis to test later. An exploratory study is generally based on the
secondary data that are readily available. It does not have to change its focus of direction, depending
on the availability of new ideas and relationship among variables.
Descriptive studies are undertaken in many circumstances. Descriptive studies can be complex,
determining a high degree of scientific skill on the part of the researcher.
Casual research helps in determined cause and effect relationship between two or more variables.
The present study seeks to find out the consumers attitude towards buying of bike. The study also
aims at findings out the drawbacks of the marketing set up of Honda Motors PVT. LTD. So this
makes the study a descriptive one.

Sources of Data
The sources of data collection methods are as follows.
a) Primary data :-
The primary data is the one that we collect for the first time from the market and is also used first
time in the research. We also say that the information is first time in the research decision. To collect
the primary data questionnaire is prepared structure non-disguise questionnaire is prepared.
b) Secondary data :-
Secondary data are those data which are already collected by someone for some purpose and are
available for the present study; secondary data are already collected by the companys records and
other librarys books. When the secondary data are sufficient, the researcher has to be satisfied with
the primary sources of data. Secondary data can be used as bases for comparison with primary data
that have been collected by questionnaire.
Data Collection Method
Researcher instruments is the tool by which the researcher can do research on specific problems or
objective. The most popular research instrument for collection data is Questionnaire for a
particular investigation. It is simple for a moiled set of questions presented to respondents for their
answers. Due to this flexibility, it is most common instrument used to collect the primary data.
During the pre- testing of questionnaire, I saw the reaction of respondents and suggestions required
to make changes in research instrument.
-

43/75
The questionnaire contains three types of questions.
Open-ended question :-
It is helpful in knowing what is uppermost in the minds of the respondents. It gives complete
freedom to the respondent.
Dichotomous questions :-
It has only two answers in form yes or no, true or false, use or do not use. So the
respondent is offered two choices.
Multiple-choice question :-
In this, the respondent is offered two or more choices.
Sampling plan
Sampling is a process of obtaining the information about the entire population by examining a part
of it .The effectiveness of the research depends on the sample size selected for the survey purpose.
(A)sample Site:-
-
7/28/2019 Bhawani Singh
44/75
The survey was conducted in Jaipur city.
(B)Sampling Unit:-
It means Who is to be surveyed. Here target population is decided who are interested to purchaseBike and sampling frame is developed so that every one in the target population has known chance
of being sampled. So the survey is conducted particularly in Jaipur City.
(c)SIMPLE SIZE:-
For the purpose of proper survey, there is need of perfect research instruments to find out sample
size for more accurate result about buying behavior of bike. The sample size is 100 respondents.
(D)Sampling Method:-
A stratified random sample is one where the population is divided in to mutually exhaustive strata or
sub-group and then a simple random is selected within each of strata on age groups, occupation etc.
It may be noted that stratification does not means absence of randomness. I use a simple random
sampling method.

SUGGESTIONS
1. Honda should introduce a low price moped.
2. For the promotion, company should make road-show that will Increase the sales.
3. The company should give more emphasis on the advertisement.
4. As people expect more mileage per kilometer, company should increase the mileage of the
Honda bike.
5. Honda should introduce a sports model like CB 1000 RR in Indian market which can attract
young generation.
6. Neither there is any discount offer nor any kind of gift offers at the time of purchase of bikes.
So the company must launch such schemes to promote sales.
