Suzuki has sent us the official press release on the GSX-R1000 and Bandit1250S for India. As we discussed earlier, these bikes are CBUs and priced very well. The following text is Suzuki's take on these two models. Suzuki’s two International winners – GSX-R1000 and Bandit1250S launched in India. ~ Ultimate Technology now meets Indian Roads~ New Delhi, June 14, 2010 The roads will wonder who passed by. Get ready to renew your faith in the physics of design. The two International winners, four stroke, liquid cooled massive demons of power, steel and style are ready to burn the Indian roads with digital fuel injection and the most enviable wave of tractable power and responsive torque. Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt. Ltd., a subsidiary of one of the world’s leading two-wheeler manufacturers Suzuki Motor Corporation, Japan, has once again thrilled Indian bike aficionados with the launch of its highly awaited bikes - the GSX-R1000 and Bandit1250S. Celebrated as the pioneers and leaders in the field of land crusader manufacturing, Suzuki has once again proved its mettle in the Indian bike market with this twin launch. The focus of the launch is to deliver cutting edge engineering and superlative performance to showcase that Suzuki has once again raised the bar in the motorcycle industry with superior technology and innovation. These bikes which have been successfully reining supreme in the international market for long were desperately sought in India. Both GSX-R1000 and Bandit1250S are seen as ultimate machines and are known for their powerful engines and futuristic styling. Launching the charismatic bikes, Mr. Katsumi Takata, Chairman, Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt. Ltd. said, “This launch is in line with our aim to deliver outstanding technology and performance to the Indian market. We are pleased to offer exciting riding experience to pro-bikers.” Speaking on the launch, Mr. Atul Gupta, Vice President (Sales and Marketing), Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt. Ltd. said, “Suzuki has been delivering superior technology which has been proven worldwide. We intend to showcase the same in India. With the launch of these two bikes, we extend our Big Bikes range in India and continue the momentum that had begun with the launch of Hayabusa and Intruder a year ago. Suzuki is all set to support the craziest and sportiest young enthusiasts who are looking for these iconic mean machines.” GSX-R1000 – popularly known as Gixxer in India It all started in 1985, when Suzuki developed the first ever GSX-R750. The goal was to build a large displacement bike that delivered the excitement of race-winning performance to riders worldwide. With this, the “race replica” category was born. For the first time we were able to offer a pure sportsbike, born on the circuit and bred to dominate the championships - in our showrooms. The GSX-R was built to be the ultimate in engineering, handling, cornering and braking technology. It started in the racing circuit where it demonstrates its full potential and brought the same high adrenaline and full throttle excitement to the street level. Uncompromising, undiluted performance – this is true for every GSX-R that has ever been made in the past 25 years of Supersports know-how. A perfect blend of track engineering and road ready design, it develops a feeling of raw, hi octane power that comes with every twist of the throttle. The latest GSX-R1000 nails it once again. The all-new chassis with a shorter wheelbase allows you to maintain speed while taking on corners, while a longer swingarm delivers greater traction when powering out of them. A slipper clutch provides an even smoother downshift and greater stability when approaching trickier bends. Ride quality is improved thanks to big piston forks, the first 1000cc production bike to be fitted with them. Three separate performance settings provide instant control over the power delivery to suit the specific road types and conditions, while monoblock front brake calipers increase overall stopping power. In one word, ‘Legendary’! The GSX – R1000 is available in two colours – White / Blue & Black /Silver and is priced at Rs. 12,75,000.00 (Ex-showroom, Delhi) GSF1250S – better known as Bandit1250S The “real” motorcycle lives on. All the iconic character and attitude of the original Bandit is fitted into this bike along with a 1255cc high-tech liquid cooled engine that produces even more torque from lower down, achieving massive performance figures, but from a bike that loves going for many miles. A state of the art liquid cooled engine sits at the heart of this serious machine providing smooth power and acceleration. In fact, with torque figures that are comparable to the GSX-R1000, but at a third of the engine speed, it produces phenomenal "roll on" performance. An adjustable seat height maximizes rider comfort. The GSF1250S has a fuel injected double overhead camshaft (DOHC) power-plant with 1255cc of torque at your service. Delivering a wide spread of power, starting low down in the rev range, the six gear ratios takes full advantage of this torque resulting in extra smooth acceleration and inspiring power delivery, perfect for long distance rides. A sports tourer made for turning any spot on the map into a precious memory! The BANDIT 1250S is available in two colours - Metallic Gleam Gray & Pearl Nebular Black and is priced at Rs. 8, 50,000.00 (Ex-showroom, Delhi) The launch of these bikes has proven to be worth a wait in the Indian market, as the Suzuki bikes epitomize power, style and technology – now introduced to the Indian market to set a new level of excitement on the roads! The bikes have been launched today in 11 cities – Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Ludhiana, Bhubaneshwar, Raipur and Cochin.

Official – Suzuki to launch GSX-R1000 next month

Shrawan Raja — Tue, 25 May 2010 10:13:14 +0000

Suzuki Motorcycles really took the high end imported bike market by storm when it introduced the Hayabusa and the IntrUder M1800 into the Indian market in 2008. Till now Suzuki Motorcycles India Ltd has managed to sell more than 150 units through just seven dealerships. Encouraged by the overwhelming response to these exotic machines, Suzuki is planning to launch the highly acclaimed 'Gixxer', the Suzuki GSX-R in the Indian market soon. Atul Gupta, VP (Sales and Marketing), Suzuki Motorcycles India-

Suzuki is all set to support the craziest and sportiest young enthusiasts who are looking for these mean machines. We have sold around 150 units of two superbikes launched last year. Because of the increasing demand, we will expand the number of dealerships selling such bikes from seven to 12 across the country. We are also looking to launch our GSX-R1000 by next month.

Powered by a monstrous 1,000cc inline four cylinder engine pumping out 191bhp, this bike boasts of price tag of US$11,500 abroad and as Suzuki would be bringing this bike as a CBU, it would attract a hefty import tax of a little more than 100% which would result in a sticker price between 10 to 12 lakh rupees in the Indian Market.

Suzuki GSX R1000 and Bandit 1250S will be launched in India

Nazish Siddiqui — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 20:56:41 +0000

After the launch of 2010 Yamaha YZF R1 Suzuki brings in their 2010 GSX R1000

Suzuki India is planning to add two more sports bikes to its line up in our country. After receiving a good response to the Hayabusa and Intruder Suzuki is launching the GSX-R1000 and the Bandit 1250S in India.

Yamaha have recently launched their 2010 YZF R1 and the launch of these two bikes shows that Suzuki doesn't wants to be left unnoticed. The 2010 GSX-R1000 is almost similar to its 2009 version except that the 2010 version will sport new paint schemes.

Watch out for the Bandit

The Bandit on the other hand will have a 1250cc engine along with a quarter fairing. There are chances that the ABS version might get launched in India.

The launch will happen on 15th of this month in Delhi. The GSX-R1000 is expected to be prices around Rs. 12.5 lakh and the Bandit 1250S around Rs. 9 lakh.

Its good to see that Suzuki is bringing the bikes from its international line up to India but I personally feel that they should launch some exciting models in the 150cc to 250cc range as well in the country.
