The Indian market was rocked once earlier by Suzuki when it launched and awes bike lovers with the Hayabhusa and the Intruder M1800.
The bikes have been sold successfully by Suzuki Motorcycles and it has also managed to sell nearly 150 units through just seven dealerships. Suzuki has taken this success and wants to reach to more heights and hence has planned to launch the popular ‘Gixxer’, named Suzuki GSX-R in India.
The bike boasts of an enviable 1000 cc inline four cylinder engine that pumps 191 bhp. The bike also rightfully boasts of a USD 11500 power tag. Since Suzuki will be importing this bike in India, an average Indian can very well assume the price to go between Rs 10 to 12 lakhs.
