Suzuki’s latest move is the Hayabusa Special Edition, a 199‑cc twin‑turbo that rides on the same chassis as the standard model but sports a Pearl Vigor Blue finish and a 3‑D Suzuki emblem on the tank. For the buyer, the package is all styling – no change to the 150 bhp output or the 12‑second 0‑100 km/h sprint that the Hayabusa is known for.
The standard Hayabusa sits at ₹18.39 lakh ex‑showroom, so the Special Edition’s ₹19.90 lakh tag is a 7% premium. That extra cost covers the new graphics, anodised muffler detailing and a single‑seat cowl, making it a good choice for collectors who value exclusivity over a higher price.
Suzuki Motorcycle India’s sales figures for September show a 1.34‑lakh unit haul, an 8% YoY rise from 1.24 lakh. Domestic sales climbed 3% to 1.09 lakh while exports jumped 41% to 24,882 units, underscoring the brand’s growing overseas appetite.
Spare‑parts revenue hit ₹1,112 million, up 26% from the previous year. The jump reflects a healthy aftermarket and suggests that owners keep their bikes in top shape, which is a plus for long‑term ownership costs.
The Gixxer range also got a fresh look, with new colour options for the Gixxer, Gixxer SF, and Gixxer 250 models. Riders who prefer a more personalised feel can now choose from a palette that includes a deep emerald and a matte black.
The Special Edition will roll out across major Indian cities from October 15, with dealerships in Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru getting early stock. Keep an eye on the next quarter for potential price tweaks on the standard model, as Suzuki often adjusts its lineup after a launch period.
