Suzuki 2-Wheelers registered 53,058 units in November 2018. The growth rate of 24.2% was great at such a time when popular brands like Honda and Royal Enfield lost a considerable chunk of sales from their side. The net gain is all due to the Suzuki Access 125, counted as the best-selling 125cc scooter of India. The single product brought 80% of the sales to Suzuki while remaining comes from Burgman Street and Gixxer series. Apart from the top three options, the local production lineup is a complete failure with 0 units for the peppy Let’s scooter, 497 units for the Intruder and 290 units for the Hayate EP.
These three products counted for just 1.5% of the total sales. Scrapping all three of them may even have zero impact on the sales of Suzuki India as those who are typically looking for a Suzuki will go for either the Gixxer or any one of the scooter except Let’s. The superbike lineup has its own story as middleweight products (V-Strom 650XT and GSX-S750) were good for several units while Hayabusa scored 23 units in November 2018. The litre-class trio (R1000R, S1000 and V-Strom 1000) failed to perform and got zero buyers in the 30-day period. Here is a complete model-wise sales report.

The prices for GSX-S1000 and V-Strom 1000 are missing from the official website. The middleweight V-Strom is popular for its class-leading features while GSX-S750 simply looks perfect for a four-cylinder streetfighter. The GSX-R1000R is among the most expensive options when a buyer is considering a litre-class motorcycle.
