Suzuki Hayabusa Assembled In India Will Witness Price Drop

By Ajinkya

We had earlier reported that Suzuki Motorcycles India was planning on assembling a couple of its superbikes in India. The popular Hayabusa superbike was expected to be the very first within their portfolio. Now the Japanese-based manufacturer is poised to begin local assembly of Hayabusa in India.

Importantly, the locally assembled Hayabusa will witness a significant price drop. Suzuki could lower the price of their superbike by Rs. 2 lakhs, owing to the CKD (Completely Knocked Down) status. The Hayabusa will be the first superbike by Suzuki to be assembled in India.

Currently, Suzuki Motorcycles India offers the Hayabusa at a price of Rs. 15.95 lakh ex-showroom (India). The 2016 Hayabusa will be locally assembled at Suzuki's facility in Manesar with a dedicated assembly line for the superbike.

Powering the 2016 Hayabusa will be a 1,340cc inline four-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. The engine will produce 197bhp, along with 155Nm of peak torque and will be mated to a 6-speed gearbox. Suzuki claims that their superbike returns a decent fuel economy of 11 km/l.

Depending on the success Suzuki achieves with the locally assembled Hayabusa, other superbikes could also witness a similar route. The customer will be at the maximum benefit as these superbikes will also witness a hefty price drop, owing to the CKD route chosen.
