Suzuki to launch Hayabusa in India

Monday, July 7, 2008, 9:28 by Auto Sr. Reporter

One of the fastest motorcycles in the world, the Suzuki Hayabusa, is all set to be launched in India.suzuki hayabusa motorcycles in india

Update: Now launched! Click here for more

The Suzuki Hayabusa was made famous in India by the bollywood movie Dhoom – Bollywood hunk John Abraham rode it in the movie, and while the movie was total junk from a motorcycle enthusiats’s point of view, it made the Hayabusa a familiar name for the college crowd.

Now, Japanese auto giant Suzuki will bring the Hayabusa motorcycle to India. The Hayabusa – official nomenclature is GSX 1300R – will pave the way for Suzuki’s foray into the superbike segment in India. Competition, however, has already arrived in the shape of Yamaha and Ducati motorcycles in India.

Powered by a 1340cc in line 4 cylinder engine, the Suzuki Hayabusa is likely to sport a price tag of  Rs 11 lakh. The launch of the bike is expected in the first week of September 2008. Suzuki will also launch a second superbike, the GSX-R 1000 by November.

Although boasting of a top speed of 397 km per hour as per recorded figures, the bike that will come to India will have a speed limit of 299 km per hour. We think that the higher figure here is from some world record attempts, while 299 kmph would be the official top speed. Do keep in though that superbike or not, speed limits in most parts of India are at 60 kmph, and may go up to 100 kmph on some of the expressways.

Suzuki expects only a sale of around 150 units of the Hayabusa in India per annum.

Hopefully, the Hayabusas will be bought by responsible motorcyclists who know the dangers of high speed riding in India. In the wrong hands, these motorcycles can be a diaster on Indian roads.

  24. Nadir said on Tuesday, November 4, 2008, 11:45

    The utter foolishness of it all is that though the Hayabusa is a beauty and though the R1 is great and the MT01 kicks a** it all makes no sense in India. These idiots from our Government have made it difficult for us all with such high duties. Actually you need a 600 – 700cc maximum in this country and every one of these manufacturers have TERRIFIC value for money propositions in that format. But none of them will launch because of the Government’s rules that 799cc and lower need homologation. Best would be to have 600 – 800 cc bikes imported at low duties by the OEMs backing with full manufacturers guarantees. WHY THE F should a bike costing Rs200000 or so overeseas end up costing Indians 8 lakh after government duties ? This is the problem . The Government

  42. ARAVIND FROM IND said on Tuesday, April 21, 2009, 16:10

    I LOVE HAYABUSA VERYMUCH
    I CAN BUY SOMETIMES THAT EASILY,BY SELLING SOME PLOTS OR HOUSES OF MINE :)
    IN MAGAZINES FROM KERALA,THEY WRITTEN LIKE THAT,TO BUY HAYABUSA FOR MIDDLE CLASS PEOPLE,THEY NEED TO SELL THEIR HOME OR PLOTS.
    SO IF I GOT A 11.5 LAKHS I WILL SURE BUY HAYABUSA INSTEAD OF BUYING AN ACCORD OR ELANTRA OR OCTAVIA
