Customer satisfaction provides an indication of how successful the organization is in
providing products and services to the market. Organizations need to retain existing customers
while targeting non¬ customers. So, to retain the customers for a longer time the marketer has
to know the customer satisfaction level. There are many types of two wheelers that play an
essential role in fulfilling the needs of customers. The customer’s needs are more dynamic.
Their needs and preferences change as per the current scenario. The development of the two
wheeler industry mainly depends on customer’s satisfaction. The following questions may arise
regarding customer satisfaction. What are the reasons that affect two-wheeler purchasing?
What are the features in Honda Activa bike that increases the satisfaction level of customers?
To find the solution to these questions, the study has been carried out.
