INTRODUCTION

HISTORY OF BIKES Through the years…

Bob Stark has been involved with Indian motorcycles throughout his

entire life. Bob's father became an Indian dealer in 1918, after

returning from military service during World War I. Bob still has a

photo of his mother riding in a sidecar in 1923. Since Bob was born in

1934, his parents were involved with Indian cycles long before that.

At the age of 10 Bob started staying around his fathers shop, and
developed quite an interest in the Indian cycles. The mechanic
considered him a pest, but allowed him to do minor items, such as
changing oil & polishing cycles.
By 1946 Bob was riding his own Whizzer motorbike, and in 1947
graduated to a Cushman scooter. By 1950, he had learned quite a bit
more about the cycles and got his first Indian, a 741 Scout with skirted
fenders. He bought the cycle for $50.00 without his father’s permission
and had it for 4 months before his father knew it was his. By 1951,
Bob purchased the '48 Chief, which he still rides. In addition, his father
deemed the $50.00 741 Scout to be unsafe. So he traded a new
Triumph 650cc even up for it. That was the best cycle deal in Bob's
life. 1951 also was high school graduation, and the start of college.
Some extra money was obtained during the next 3 summers by
working on cycles. Bobs father had sold the Indian shop in 1952, so
the work was done in the "ex" chicken coop at home. 1955 was the big
change, graduation from Case Institute of Technology, Akron Ohio
(Now called Case/Western) with a degree in mechanical engineering.
This was a year of working days at Goodyear Tire & Rubber and nights
on Indians.

1
A short time was spent in the army during 1956 & 1957. The off hours
were spent at Herb Reiber’s Indian shop in Washington D.C. The '48
Chief (purchased in 1951) was kept about 2 miles from Fort Belvoir.
After an army discharge in the fall of 1957 Bob returned to Goodyear
Tire during the day and worked on Indians at home during the
evenings. By 1957 he reopened his fathers shop part time, selling the
Royal Enfield built Indians, servicing them, and servicing the older
Chiefs & Scouts. By 1958 Goodyear Tire was no longer in the picture
as Bob quit to spend full time at the cycle shop. In 1959 health
reasons mandated a move to Florida, and more building of cycles at
home, while working at Martin Marietta Corporation. 1961 was a move
to California, and the nominal home workshop for night work. Later 60'
s meant trips back to Florida as part of the launch crew on the first 2
moon shots from Cape Canaveral. Gary was born during this time
frame and started riding between Shorty & Bob by age 2. In 1970,
Starklite Cycle was formed and Bob was back to full time work on
Indians. Again, Starklite took on the Indian dealership, this time for
the Taiwan/Italian built models. This was different, but the main
business was restoring the older Indians and manufacturing parts for
them. By now Gary was riding. He got his first Indian at age 5, and his
second one at age 7. He was given a '47 Chief at age 5 and he finished
his restoration of it at age 16.
As the years have progressed, Indian parts have become increasingly
scarcer. This has led to the need to design and build increasing
amounts of Indian parts. In 1989, Gary graduated from California
State University of Long Beach with an Engineering degree in
Manufacturing Engineering. The engineering has helped both Bob and
Gary in the production of what we believe to be the best quality of
Indian parts available.
The line now stands at over 3000 items. Shortly has done her part by
putting up with all of this for nearly 30 years, as well as handling most
of the work in connection with the Indian Motorcycle Club. Gary has

2
started helping her last couple or years with much of the mailing and
typesetting, as he has become very proficient on the computer.

In the fall of 1988, Starklite moved from Fullerton to Perris. The shop
in Fullerton was left in the hands of Wilson Plank, who was employed
there for 14 years. He is currently operating it under the name of
American Indian Specialists and is running it very successfully working
on Indians.
As you can see from this brief background, The Stark Family has been
involved in Indians from 1918 to the present with virtually no
interruptions. Starklite is a family owned business involving Bob,
Shorty, and Gary, as well as others. Gary is the third generation to be
involved.
The most gratifying part of the business has been the amount of nice
people we have met. We consider them friends, not just a customer.

INDIAN AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY
2-WHEELERS

2-Wheelers
India is the second largest manufacturer and producer of two-wheelers
in the world. It stands next only to Japan and China in terms of the
number of two-wheelers produced and domestic sales respectively.
This distinction was achieved due to variety of reasons like restrictive
policy followed by the Government of India towards the passenger car
industry, rising demand for personal transport, inefficiency in the
public transportation system etc.

The Indian two-wheeler industry made a small beginning in the early


50s when Automobile Products of India (API) started manufacturing
scooters in the country. Until 1958, API and Enfield were the sole
producers. In 1948, Bajaj Auto began trading in imported Vespa
scooters and three-wheelers. Finally, in 1960, it set up a shop to
manufacture them in technical collaboration with Piaggio of Italy.
Although various government and private enterprises entered the fray
for scooters, the only new player that has lasted till today is LML.
Under the regulated regime, foreign companies were not allowed to
operate in India. It was a complete sellers market with the waiting
period for getting a scooter from Bajaj Auto being as high as 12 years.

The motorcycles segment was no different, with only three


manufacturers viz Enfield, Ideal Jawa and Escorts. While Enfield bullet
was a four-stroke bike, Jawa and the Rajdoot were two-stroke bikes.
The motorcycle segment was initially dominated by Enfield 350cc bikes
and Escorts 175cc bike. The two-wheeler market was opened to
foreign competition in the mid-80s. Moreover, the then market leaders
-Escorts and Enfield - were caught unaware by the onslaught of the
100cc bikes of the four Indo-Japanese joint ventures. With the
availability of fuel-efficient low power bikes, demand swelled, resulting

4
in Hero Honda - then the only producer of four stroke bikes (100cc
category), gaining a top slot. The first Japanese motorcycles were
introduced in the early eighties. TVS Suzuki and Hero Honda brought
in the first two-stroke and four-stroke engine motorcycles respectively.
These two players initially started with assembly of CKD kits, and later
on progressed to indigenous manufacturing. In the 90s the major
growth for motorcycle segment was brought in by Japanese
motorcycles, which grew at a rate of nearly 25% CAGR in the last five
years. The industry had a smooth ride in the 50s, 60s and 70s when
the Government prohibited new entries and strictly controlled capacity
expansion. The industry saw a sudden growth in the 80s. The industry
witnessed a steady growth of 14% leading to a peak volume of 1.9mn
vehicles in 1990. The entry of Kinetic Honda in mid-eighties with a
variometric scooter helped in providing ease of use to the scooter
owners. This helped in inducing youngsters and working women,
towards buying scooters, who were earlier inclined towards moped
purchases. In the 90s, this trend was reversed with the introduction of
scooterettes. In line with this, the scooter segment has consistently
lost its part of the market share in the two-wheeler market.

In 1990, the entire automobile industry saw a drastic fall in demand.


This resulted in a decline of 15% in 1991 and 8% in 1992, resulting in
a production loss of 0.4mn vehicles. Barring Hero Honda, all the major
producers suffered from recession in FY93 and FY94. Hero Honda
showed a marginal decline in 1992. The reasons for recession in the
sector were the incessant rise in fuel prices, high input costs and
reduced purchasing power due to significant rise in general price level
and credit crunch in consumer financing. Factors like increased
production in 1992, due to new entrants coupled with the recession in
the industry resulted in companies either reporting losses or a fall in
profit

5
Rise of a Product: The Motorcycles

Motorcycles are the most expensive of all two-wheelers. They are more
powerful than scooters and mopeds, have the highest load carrying
capacity (which is essential for rural areas), are fuel-efficient, have
better road grip, and are the most expensive. Besides, motorcycles are
viewed as “trendy” in the urban areas as compared with scooters and
mopeds.

Motorcycle production in India began in 1952, when Enfield India


Limited commenced manufacture at its plant in Tamil Nadu. It was the
only motorcycle producer in the country until the early 1960s when
Ideal Jawa (India) Private Limited and Escorts Limited entered the
market. By 1970-71, production of motorcycles had reached 39,000
units per annum.

The fortunes of the motorcycle industry changed after the


announcement of the liberal licensing policy in 1982 whereby foreign
collaboration was allowed. In 1982, the Government allowed foreign
players to enter the industry through joint ventures. Within four years,
the TVS Group tied up with Suzuki, the Hero Group with Honda, the
Escorts Group with Yamaha, and Bajaj Auto Limited (Bajaj Auto) with
Kawasaki. TVS Suzuki introduced in 1984, Hero Honda Motors Limited
(HHML) launched CD100 in 1985, and both Escorts and Bajaj Auto
launched their models in 1986-87. These models catered for the
upwardly mobile, middle-to-upper income group consumers who
preferred a stylish, powerful vehicle that could be used as an urban
personal transportation vehicle. The principal brands that competed in
the 1980s were the HHML CD100 (a four-stroke 100cc), the Ind-Suzuki
AX100 (from TVS, two-stroke, 100cc) and the Escorts-
Yamaha RX100 (two-stroke, 100cc). While the CD100 was positioned
primarily on the efficiency plank, giving riders an unprecedented

6
mileage of 80 kms per liter (kmpl), the RX100 became popular with
young buyers because of its high power. The AX100 took the middle
path, balancing power with reasonable fuel efficiency. To reinforce its
image of being a maker of powerful motorcycles, Escorts launched the
350cc twin-crab, twin-cylinder Yamaha RD350, a vehicle that soon
gained cult status. It offered 36bhp, but was plagued by problems—
very few mechanics could tune the engine and the average fuel
consumption was as low as 15 kmpl. Subsequently, the product had to
be discontinued. The launch of the 100cc motorcycles was path
breaking, as till then the existing big models like the Yezdi, Rajdoot
and Bullet could not compete with scooters.

A significant development in the motorcycle industry during the late


1990s was the shift from two-stroke to four-stroke technology. The
attraction of the four-stroke technology was earlier limited to fuel
efficiency, while two-stroke held its own by offering better performance
and easier maintenance. But, following the enforcement of India 2000
emission norms beginning April 1, 2000, the less polluting four-stroke
has become the preferred technology. The two-stroke technology can
also meet the existing environment norms, but only when
supplemented by catalytic converters—an option that is both costly
and shortsighted. The high temperature of the exhaust, combustion
irregularities, the problem of lubricating oil contamination with metallic
additives, and finally, fuel adulteration can poison the catalyst and
render it completely ineffective. Further, the use of catalytic converter
affects the initial pick-up of two-stroke engines, which is one of their
main attractions. Given these shortcomings, most motorcycle
manufacturers have offered four-stroke vehicles. While the four-stroke
motorcycle segment is the fastest growing, it is also highly
competitive. Competition has intensified in this segment since CY2001
when players introduced new products at a relatively fast pace. Also,
new entrants have entered the market by introducing their products at

7
lower price points, while the existing players have announced price
cuts. This has led to price competition in the domestic market. At the
lower end of the segment, Bajaj Auto has its Boxer range of
motorcycles and Bike; HHML has Dawn as well as CD Dawn and KEL
Boss. Above this segment, there are strong brands such as Victor
(TVS), Passion and Splendor (HHML), Caliber 115 and Aspire (Bajaj
Auto), Freedom, Adriano and Energy (LML), and Crux R (Yamaha).
Through its CBZ model, HHML had tapped the premium segment of the
market in 1999.

Since then, however, quite a few models such as Pulsar 180 by Bajaj
Auto and Fiero by TVS have been launched in this segment. Royal
Enfield is the market leader in the lifestyle segment. This segment has
also attracted new model launches such as Eliminator by Bajaj Auto,
Aquila by KEL and Karizma by HHML.

8
The industry need to adopt suitable technology so that it can
conveniently meet these horns in time since the production largely of
two stroke engines figment of catalytic converter will become
necessary. But it will lead some in case in prices. The life of these
converter is limited to 25/30 thousand hence consumer will prefer
something durable and longer lasting.

Some manufacture is therefore planning to switch over to stroke


technology to comply with the emission norms. It has an additional
advantage of more complete combustion of hydrocarbons in petrol,
which gives higher mileage and better fuel economy. The 4 strokes
bike are currently giving of fuel 70 to 80 km/hr. this will important
from consumers point of view because of high price level of petrol in
India. It is therefore not surprising that every major player is trying to
get into the motor cycle market to have a piece of cake.

COMPANY PROFILE

HERO HONDA LTD.

The legend of Hero Honda what started out as a Joint Venture between
Hero Group, the world's largest bicycle manufacturers and the Honda
Motor Company of Japan, has today become the World's single largest
two-wheeler Company. Coming into existence on January 19, 1984,
Hero Honda Motors Limited gave India nothing less than a revolution
on two-wheels made even more famous by the 'Fill it - Shut it - Forget
it ' campaign. Driven by the trust of over 5 million customers, the Hero
Honda product range today commands a market share of 48% making
it a veritable giant in the industry. Add to that technological excellence,
an expansive dealer network, and reliable after sales service, and you
have one of the most customer- friendly companies.

Hero Group > Marketing Strategy

A thorough understanding of the fast-changing consumer behavior,


new market segments and product opportunities along with sensitivity
to changing customer needs, form the core of Hero's marketing
strategy and philosophy.

At Hero, we essentially have a completely customer-driven approach. A


nation-wide dealer network comprising of over 3,500 bicycle dealers,
350 dealers for mopeds and 225 franchise holders for motorcycles,
ensures convenient access to the Group's products across the country.

With a deep sense of belonging to the Hero fraternity, the Group's


dealer network has catalyzed growth and acted as a strong bridge
between the customers and the Group.

11
Conventionally, very few Indian bicycle manufacturers were interested
in exports. However, the Hero Group's foray into the overseas markets
pioneered Indian exports in the bicycle segment as early as 1963. It
was a move prompted primarily by the need to be attuned to the
global marketplace.

While initial exports were restricted to Africa and the Middle East,
today more than 50 percent of the Group's bicycle exports meet the
demands of sophisticated markets in Europe and America. This is
primarily because of appropriate product development and excellent
quality that Hero offers.

The Group has undertaken a steady up gradation of technologies and


there has been diversifications and setting up of newer establishments
to meet stringent international standards.

At the core of it all is a customer-centric scheme of policies and


production ... and the bottom line is to "Add Value while Engineering
Satisfaction."

A rich background of manufacturing high value, reasonably priced


products; an uncompromising pursuit of the goals to attain quality
along with customer satisfaction; the resulting affinity in working
cultures - brought the world's largest manufacturer of motorcycles in
collaboration with the world's largest bicycle manufacturer, bringing
forth a market leader. Honda Motor Company of Japan and the Hero
Group entered a joint venture to setup Hero Honda Motors Limited in
1984.

The Market Leader

13
Today Hero Honda has managed to achieve indigenization of over 95
percent, a Honda record worldwide. Hero Honda is at present the
largest-selling Indian motorcycle and the most fuel-efficient in its
category - the outcome of Hero Group's foresight and another classic
example of how the Group strives to provide the customer with
excellence and satisfaction.

Hero Honda became the first company in the country to introduce four-
stroke motorcycles and set the standards for fuel efficiency, pollution
control and quality. It has a production capacity of 1.2 million
motorcycles, which shall be enhanced to 1.5 million motorcycles in the
coming years. It has an excellent distribution and service network
spread throughout the country. Hero Honda is the market leader in
motorcycles, with sales of over a million motorcycles and a strong
market share of 47% during 2000-01.

Advertisement strategy

Hero Honda has snagged the brat pack — Virender Sehwag,


Mohammad Kaif, Yuvraj Singh and Zaheer Khan. The two-wheeler
maker, an official sponsor of the World Cup tournament to be played in
South Africa in February, has brought the young and exciting cricketers
of the Indian team on board as brand ambassadors.

The Fab Four — along with team captain Sourav Ganguly — will feature
in the ads for its latest motorcycle model: the Ambition. Hero Honda is
extremely cagey about saying how much they had to fork out to bring
the top cricketers to feature in the ads.

Atul Sobti, senior vice-president, marketing and sales declined to say


how much they planned to invest in the ad campaign. "It will give a lot
of leverage to the new product Ambition by giving the image of a
powerful and efficient motorcycle. The powerful-e-l bike will be well

14
represented by the leadership qualities, power and the capacity to face
any challenges," he added.

The current ad for Ambition is tame; it shows an important file


reaching a destination in time because of the power of the motorcycle.
"It does not properly appeal to the customers about the power and
efficiency of the product. 'Team Ambition' will be much better suited to
represent the product," sources said.

Hero Honda is hoping to crank up sales of Ambition because of the


endorsements by the top cricketers during the World Cup when cricket
fever will be at its highest.

One major advantage is that none of its rivals will be able to use
cricketers to endorse their products before and after the World Cup
because of the ambush-marketing clause that the International Cricket
Council (ICC) has worked into the players contracts.

The issue had sparked a row when it was raised just before the ICC
champion’s trophy in Sri Lanka in September but was resolved after a
stand-off between ICC, the cricket boards of several nations and the
players.

Hero Honda plans to increase its market-share to 50 per cent this fiscal
and is targeting sales of 10,000 Ambitions a month. Its share dipped
from 48 per cent to 45 per cent.

The 133 cc Ambition generates 11 bhp of thrust, which has been kept
low in order to improve fuel efficiency. It has been placed in between
the 125cc and 150cc motorcycle categories to draw the maximum
clientele. The bike accelerates from 0-60 kmph in only six seconds.

While launching the new campaign with the cricketers, Hero Honda is
also drawing up plans for a couple of ads with the other brand
ambassador, Hrithik Roshan.

Hero Honda's association with cricket goes back to 1993, when it


sponsored the Hero Cup. It was the official sponsor of the recent ICC

15
Champions Trophy in Sri Lanka and will have the same status for the
ICC World Cup in 2003.

As economies open up, are Asian enterprises ready for the global
battle for export markets and investment?

Hero Honda sales decline 1.2 pc

Our Bureau

NEW DELHI, May 1

HERO Honda, the country's largest motorcycle manufacturer, saw its


sales decline by 1.2 per cent to 1,34,318 units in April 2003 from
1,35,961 units in the same month last year.

According to industry sources, sales of the company could have been


affected by sluggish rural demand combined with the 10-day trucker's
strike affecting production as well as distribution of products in April.

The company saw a growth of 16.06 per cent in sales volume during
April compared to March.

Meanwhile, Hero Honda is planning to launch new 200 plus cc


motorcycle during May, a company release said.

The company today announced that it has achieved a milestone with


its Daruhera plant, in Haryana, becoming the first Indian two-wheeler
plant to produce 5 million units. The 5 millionth motorcycle was a
Splendor. The first motorcycle, CD100, had rolled off the assembly line
in April 1985.

Customer satisfaction, a high quality product, the strength of Honda


technology and the Hero group's dynamism have helped HHML scale
new frontiers and exceed limits.

In the words of Mr. Brijmohan Lall Munjal, the Chairman and Managing
Director, "We will continue to make every effort required for the
development of the motorcycle industry, through new product

16
development, technological innovation, and investment in equipment
and facilities and through and through efficient management."

BAJAJ AUTO LIMITED

The Bajaj Group came into existence during the turmoil and the heady
euphoria of India's freedom struggle. Jamnalal Bajaj, founder of the
Bajaj Group, was a confidante and disciple of Mahatma Gandhi, and
was deeply involved in the effort for freedom. The integrity, dedication,
resourcefulness and determination to succeed which are characteristic
of the Company today, are often traced back to its birth during those
long days of relentless devotion to a common cause.

Kamalnayan, the eldest son of Jamnalal Bajaj, succeeded his father in


1942, at the age of twenty-seven. Putting the Nation before business,
he devoted himself to the latter only after India achieved
independence in 1947. But when he did so, he put his heart and soul
into it. Within a short while, he not only consolidated the Group, but
also diversified into various manufacturing activities, elevating the
Group to the status it enjoys till this day.

Rahul Bajaj today heads the Group. He has been the Chief Executive
Officer of Bajaj since 1968 and is recognized as one of the most
outstanding business leaders in India. As dynamic and ambitious as his
illustrious predecessors, he has been recognized for his achievements
at various national and international forums.

Bajaj is currently India's largest two and three-wheeler manufacturer


and one of the biggest in the world. Bajaj has long left behind its
annual turnover of Rs.72 million (1968), to currently register an
impressive figure of Rs.42.16 billion (US$ 936 million).

23
Group/ Management
Mr. Jamanalal Bajaj founded the Bajaj Group in the 30s. The group
now has 24 companies, including 6 listed companies. Besides BAL, the

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Meaning of Research

Research is a common parlance refers to a search for knowledge. One


can also define research as a scientific and systematic search for
pertinent information on a specific topic. In fact, research is an art of
scientific investigation. The Advance Learner’s Dictionary of current
English lays down the meaning of research as “A careful investigation
or inquiry especially through search for new facts in any branch of
knowledge.” Redman and Mory defines research as a ”Systematized
efforts to gain new knowledge.” Some people consider research as a
movement, a movement to from the known to unknown. It is actually
a voyage of discovery. We possess the vital instinct of inquisitiveness
for, when the unknown confronts us, we wonder and our
Inquisitiveness make us probe and attain full and fuller understanding
of the unknown.

Methodology

In planning and designing a specific research project, it is necessary to


anticipate all the steps that must be undertaken if the project is to be
successful in collecting valid and reliable information.

OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT

Primary Objective:-
 To study the position of two wheeler bikes (Highlighting BAJAJ &
HERO HONDA) in India.

emphasis was made to understand the nature and the
expectations of the customers.

TYPE OF SAMPLE DESIGN:

55
RECOMMENDATIONS & SUGGESTIONS

 The best target market for any new product is 20 to 35 yrs and
income group of 8000 to 12000.
 Before the launch an aggressive advertising must be carried out in
order to inform the consumer about the new bike.
 The media adopted for such purpose should be electronic as it is
wildly accepted.
 Continuous innovation in product process and services too are
recommended to get the competitive edge.
 Nicely designed and fuel efficient vehicle is must to find better
prospects and widen its market.
 Easily available spare parts at reasonable price backed by efficient
sales as competitions.
 An eye on competitor’s policies and review of its own according to
changing market condition will help in formulation of effective
strategies from time to time.
 The pricing TAG which BAJAJ is going to put on its bikes should not
be more Rs.35, 000 – 50,000 in any case, because it is the price
which is going to determine the success of the product.
 Through demonstration in rural area so that they can get
specification of bike.

LIMITATIONS

 Small Sample size:


In my survey, I have taken a sample size of 141 customers, but
only with these samples I can’t make a proper conclusion.

 Time Constraint:
Time for this project is not sufficient. As I go for the survey at
the dealership then time for completing and filling the
questionnaires is not sufficient.

 Sample Area:
The study was conducted in GHAZIABAD only. Hence, the study
may not be useful for projection of behavioral aspect of
consumers living in other cities.

 Money Constraint:
Budget and finance are always been constraints in doing any
project.

58
FUTURE DIRECTION OF THE RESEARCH

 There should be at least six months time period for conducting a


useful research in any field of industry or organization.

 The respondent should provide correct information as and when


needed by the researcher and employees of the organization should
be cooperative.

 Research should try to provide more elaborate information about


international marketing strategies.

 There should be more elaborate and meaningful suggestions and


recommendations by the researcher so that it can be helpful for the
growth prospects of the industry in the future.
