Japanese major Suzuki Motor has launched two hyper sports bikes including Hayabusa and Intruder M1800R in the Indian market.

Both priced at Rs 12.50 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), Hayabusa features a 1,340-cc engine, whereas Intruder comes with a 1,783-cc V-twin engine.

Other exciting features of Hayabusa include a four-stroke, four cylinder and liquid-cooled DOHC (double overhead cam) engine, which has radial mount breaks in the front.

The bike that weighs 220 kg sports the new advanced digital fuel injection system with three way selectable engine mapping to suit personal preferences. Similarly, Intruder has a liquid cooled engine with DOHC and digital fuel injection.

While launching the bike, Suzuki Motorcycle India joint MD SMIPL Joint Managing Director Katsumi Takata stated, “This launch is in line with our aim to deliver outstanding technology and performance to the Indian market.”
