Triumph Motorcycles India is in the second spot among premium motorcycle companies in FY2022 with sales of 1200 units, according to the Society for Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM).

Kawasaki is the top seller (1600 units) in this segment that is defined by engine sizes upwards of 500cc and with multicylinders and a sticker price northwards of Rs 5 lakh.

Not all OEMs declare their sales to SIAM.
