Currently the Suzuki Hayabusa comes via the CBU route and is priced at Rs. 15.95 lakhs for the regular variants and Rs. 16.20 lakhs for the Z Edition (ex-showroom, Delhi). With CKD assembly, the price of the iconic motorcycle will come down by a good Rs. 5 lakhs, making it an attractive proposition at Rs. 11 lakhs. The Hayabusa is powered by a 1340cc, 4-cylinder engine which pumps out 197 PS of power and 155 Nm of torque. It can sprint from 0-100 km/hr in just 3.0 seconds and is electronically limited to a top speed of 299 km/hr. Its main rival is the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R which is faster accelerating.
However, that’s not all, Suzuki plans to assemble more superbikes in India via the CKD route. This means, the company could also bring in more products which would be attractively priced to take on the offerings from Kawasaki, Triumph and Benelli, the other manufacturers in the premium motorcycle space who have committed to CKD operations. The big bike market in India is seeing a boon and with manufacturers showing commitment towards local assembly, the good times are sure to roll. Some superbike makers are still awaited with MV Agusta being on the top of our list.

Suzuki dismisses reports of Hayabusa assembly in India
Suzuki Motorcycle India has dismissed reports that the Hayabusa will be locally assembled in India, and once that happens, it would cost as much as Rs 5 lakh less.

A Suzuki official has told ZigWheels that as of now there are no such plans of assembling the Hayabusa in India, and it would continue to be brought in as a CBU.

The official dismissed reports that the Hayabusa would become cheaper by as much as Rs 5 lakh if it is assembled in India. He said that even if a decision to bring the bike via the CKD route is taken, it would be near impossible to slash the price by Rs 5 lakh.

Suzuki however is open to introducing high-end bikes via the CKD route in India, once economic considerations and market demands make it practical to do so. The official also didn’t rule out bringing in medium capacity motorcycles via the CKD route to India.

So far, there is no word when Suzuki starts to assemble superbikes in India. But the writing on the wall is clear – the Indian superbike market is booming and it only makes sense to assemble bikes here to cut down on the high sticker prices CBUs carry.
