The Japanese 2-wheeler manufacturer, Suzuki seems to be gearing up to increase its brand image before the festive season commences in India. The iconic auto maker has recently presented the updated version of its premium motorcycle, Suzuki Hayate in the Indian market. The earlier version of this bike was much lauded for its design and performance, and keeping its huge popularity in mind, the company has revived Suzuki Hayate with minor tweaks. The 2014 edition of this motorcycle is priced at a figure of Rs. 44, 969 (ex-showroom) and the bike will soon be available for purchase in an all new refreshing look.
The Suzuki Hayate 2014 edition has undergone minor surgery, which has resulted in the enhancement of both its aesthetics and performance. As per the company, the face-lifted version of Suzuki Hayate will now be available with a maintenance-free battery, tubeless tyres and much broader rims. The bike will continue to be powered by the same 1-cylinder 112cc 4-stroke air-cooled engine, which helps in churning a power output of almost 8.5 bhp with peak torque of 8.8 Nm. The engine is coupled with the same 4-speed gearbox, which allows the rider to quickly accelerate the bike. However, the Indian audience can witness some changes in the bike that are displayed by newly-painted side-cowls and decals.
During the inauguration ceremony, the Executive Vice President of Suzuki Motorcycle India, Mr. Atul Gupta quoted, “The brand new look for the Hayate is very attractive and the upgraded features mean that owners of the new Hayate get a smoother and more convenient ride on a striking motorcycle. At Suzuki, our endeavour is to constantly improve our products to ensure that we continuously satisfy our customers. The Hayate has performed well in all markets. We are sure that the new Hayate will provide a further impetus to our numbers.”
What's more new is that the Suzuki Hayate 2014 edition will be present in the market in all new shades. The company has introduced 5 new colour schemes in the motorcycle that are as follows – Glass Sparkle Black-Blue Graphic, Glass Sparkle Black-Red Graphic, Pearl Moon Stone Grey, Pearl Mirage White and Glass Sparkle Black. Sources believe that the acute strategy of the company might do wonders for it in the upcoming festive season. In a price range of Rs. 44, 969, the bike comprises all such features to tempt the Indian buyers and the company is expecting this model to achieve new heights of sales.
