Suzuki GSX-S300 could soon be a reality for select markets. This recently spotted patent drawing for Haojue HJ300 is an indirect hint that Suzuki could have worked on a motorcycle from 300cc, twin cylinder segment. Haojue share parts from Suzuki bikes and also manufactures bikes under Suzuki moniker for more than 80 markets worldwide.
Patent filing by this Chinese brand could also mean that they are willing to differentiate markets according to their present reach. This will become clear once Suzuki branded images for this motorcycle arrive from some other market. Currently, Suzuki GW250, GSX-250R and V-Strom 250 are manufactured by Haojue.
The engine section looks identical to twin cylinder GSX-250R, hinting at an up-sized engine that is built on the same platform as existing set of multiple genre bikes.
As most brands have 250cc and 300cc twins ready on their side, Suzuki and Haojue could also consider switching markets where one engine is more popular than the other one.
Exhaust design on the motorcycle is clearly Suzuki and more than that, It comes with familiar design lines for rear half for sure. Front comes with extended tank shrouds and LED headlight with loads of character.
Suzuki GSX-S300 could also serve as a base to GSX-R300, helping Suzuki get a perfect rival for India spec Yamaha R3 and Ninja 300. Presently, their GSX-250R cannot make into India for its low power and sport touring specific dynamics.
This drawing comes with front USD forks, LCD instrument console and completely new swing-arm. ABS is perfectly visible from this design while tyre pattern may change according to market requirements.
EICMA 2018 could serve as a platform for official unveil of these two highly expected products. Suzuki currently retails GSX-S1000 and S1000F in India while all other bikes from this naked series are missing.
