Suzuki India plans to host the event every year in the country

Towards the end of its life cycle, the Suzuki Hayabusa has been an iconic motorcycle globally and continues to sell well despite its age. Earlier this year, Suzuki India even commenced locally assembly of the Hayabusa, the first bike in its segment to do so. Competing with the Kawasaki ZX-14R and a host of other high performance offerings, the next generation Hayabusa is also under works and we can only patiently wait for the manufacturer to drop its curtain on the new model that is expected to set a new benchmark, just like the current model has.
