The much-awaited and tour-friendly motorcycle Suzuki GSX-250R is likely to get its global hub within India. Senior officials are critical of the sales report and putting the criteria to approve the same with a target of 1 million sales by 2020.
The possibility to match with the condition is high as considering the last report of August 2017 where the Suzuki Motorcycles India sold out around 47,745 units in a single month only. Calculating the yearly sales report collaborating good and bad days of sales for Suzuki Motorcycles India, the data reaches to 0.6 million in a year. Although varying this number from 0.6 million to 1 million requires a lot of efforts, still 30 months duration or 2.5 years is good enough to pass over the number.
The expectation of Suzuki is not spurious as a company were once selling half of the current number previously and 1 million is quite an adaptable figure for now. Suzuki is also prepared for the cruiser model Suzuki GZ150 with a 150cc engine and the expectation of 10,000 units sales per month.
The company also insinuated to a power scooter probably from Burgman series in India. The scooter will accommodate with a 250cc engine which will help Suzuki share with GSX-250R. The Gixxer is enabled by the quarter-liter or 248cc engine, twin cylinder is capable to churn out 24.7 BHP at 8000 RPM and 23.3 Nm at 6500 RPM.
The motorcycle weighs 178 Kg and goes well with a 248cc engine which tags the bike as an everyday bike. With the six-speed gearbox and 15-litre fuel tank capacity, the bike is the best choice in this range of bikes. The Suzuki currently has 200 dealerships in India and now planning to expand the dealership base with the investment of Rs.1000 Crore in the country.
Satoshi Uchida, MD at Suzuki Motorcycle India explained the company’s plan from future upcomings. He said, “Since we are a late entrant, we need to have a different approach. Our immediate focus is on the fast-growing scooter space and premium motorcycles. Our aim is to grab 10% share in the segments that we operate. Once we reach scale, then we may look at the mass market. Our chairman wants us to achieve 1 million sales (per year, by 2020), but he says to do it in a sustainable manner, we have to use both brake and accelerator.”
