Suzuki has decided to bring in a pleasant surprise for the sports bike lovers in India. It is planning to bring its sports model Hayabusa for the sport bike fanatic in the country. The new model is also known as GSX 1300R which was famously driven by John Abraham in Dhoom.

The bike could hit the top speed of 397 kmph in 2004 but its current production has limited its speed up to 299 kmph. Other bike makes like Yamaha and Ducati already mark their strong presence in the country in the sports model segment.

Hayabusa is powered by 1340cc engine in line 4 engine which may cost up to whopping Rs 11 lakh. This makes the company drop its expectation on number in the country. The bike shall be launched in the first week of September but its retails price would be high due to its high 105 percent import duty.

The demand for big bikes is actually more of a hype. Cumulatively these bikes sell only about 400 units per annum and we don't expect volumes as well. Alongwith the GXR we will probably do 150 units per annum,” said Atul gupta, vice-president, sales and marketing, Suzuki Motorcycle India.

“India is not the place for these bikes. We don't have the roads like they have in developed countries for them and it is not fun to ride them at say 70 km per hour,” Gupta said. “We are nevertheless launching the Hayabusa because it will showcase our strength as a bike manufacturer. Moreover these are already available in the grey market so we might as well legalise them.”
