2017 Suzuki Hayabusa
Suzuki has just
launched the 2017 Hayabusa in India at a price of Rs. 13.88 lakhs (ex-showroom,
New Delhi). The bike comes available with new body graphics and in three new
colour options, which are – Glass Sparkle Black and Pearl Glacier White, Pearl
Vigor Blue and Glass Sparkle Black, and Glass Sparkle Black.
Suzuki is taking an aggressive strategy for Indian market and it plans to assemble more superbikes in the country. As several international brands like Benelli, Kawasaki, Triumph throwing some serious challenge, Suzuki is emphasizing on localized production. Assembling the Hayabusa locally is a part of that plan and with this strategy the company is able to keep pricing competitive.
The Suzuki Hayabusa takes on rival like ZX-14R,
which is priced at Rs. 17.90 lakhs (ex-showroom, New Delhi). With much lowered
price compared to its rival, Suzuki expects to draw more customers toward the
Hayabusa. Presently the bike’s waiting period is 45 days, which the company is
trying to reduce soon. The bike can be booked at an amount of Rs. 2 lakhs.
Suzuki Hayabusa takes power from a 1,340 cc
four-stroke, four-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. The engine is mated to a
6-speed transmission and churns out 197 PS of peak power at 9,500 rpm and 155
Nm of peak torque at 7,200 rpm. The bike can reach 0-100 km/h in just 2.76
seconds with a top speed of 300 km/h.
