Suzuki Motorcycle India Private Limited (SMIPL) has begun assembly of its flagship motorcycle - the Suzuki Hayabusa - at its assembly line at its plant in Gurgaon, Haryana. With the advent of the Make in India programme, SMIPL is keen to support and strengthen this promising initiative to transform India into a global design and manufacturing hub.
The Suzuki Hayabusa is one of the most renowned and cult motorcycles across the globe, and this fan following is more than evident among motorcycling fans in India as well. Apart from the phenomenal performance, this motorcycle has been widely acclaimed for its all-round capabilities.
The Suzuki Hayabusa will be imported as CKD (Completely Knocked Down) Kits and assembled at the factory in Gurgaon where the entire SMIPL lineup is manufactured and assembled. Nonetheless, the specifications of the motorcycle shall remain unchanged as compared to its CBU (Completely Built Up) counterpart which has been imported from Japan all these years.
Kenji Hirozawa, Vice President Sales & Marketing, SMIPL, said, “India is one of the largest manufacturer of motorcycles in the world. This is a clear indication of the high demands in this ever growing market. Along with growth, comes maturity. Coupled with growth in lifestyle and infrastructure, there is an increasing demand for Big Bikes by the Indian Enthusiast. SMIPL shall cater to this by starting assembly of our most widely selling big bike, the Suzuki Hayabusa. We firmly believe in the Make in India programme and this another step to show our support even in the big bike market.”
The Hayabusa shall be available at the Suzuki Big Bike Dealerships for Rs 13,57,135 (Ex-showroom Delhi) in March 2016.
