There have been many two wheeler companies in India present in the market since a long time, some have been able to transform itself and cope with the modern market and some have faded away into the past. Companies like Hero Honda, Bajaj and TVS have transformed themselves into major giants, while companies like LML and Rajdoot have failed miserably and collapsed and had to shutdown.
