Should Suzuki Motorycles India seriosuly consider bringing the GW250 to India..??
Just because one has the best ingredients..
..doesn’t always guarantee that the dinner would be served sumptuous
Suzuki Motorcycles India needs a flagship model for India. The GS150R has been the flag bearer for them for some time now. Before you mention "Hayabusa", let me tell that I am aware that the Hayabusa in on sale in India, but that’s an imported model for blokes with deep pockets.
I am coming more from the point of view of an aspiratinal model for the "great Indian middle class". Something like the R15 for Yamaha, Pulsar 220F for Bajaj, Karizma ZMR for Hero MotoCorp, CBR250R for Honda.
The humble 150cc GS150R isn’t exactly flagship material, not in 2011-12 India.
Suzuki GW250
Just a couple of months back Suzuki did unveil a 250 cc, twin cylinder model at a Chinese auto show. Needless to say the desi auto blogs went into overdrive speculating/claiming that this was the next big Suzuki model for India. The bike’s name is GW250. It’s a made in China Suzuki model which has been on sale in that country for a few months now.
Now should Suzuki Motorcycle India seriously consider bringing the GW250 to India too?
