The all-new Suzuki Katana has been launched in India priced at Rs 13.61 lakh (ex-showroom).
Somehow, the ADV has evolved into a purely urban machine. Suzuki have understood the assignment and turned in their submission. We evaluate it over two states and a few hundred kilometres
Suzuki have finally stepped onto the sporty scooter playground, but does the Avenis have enough beans to beat the top dogs?
[Read more…]Suzuki have launched the all-new Avenis starting from Rs 86,700 ex-showroom. The scooter is available in five colours options, including a race-edition as well.
Its styling is taken care of keeping the youth in mind. It gets sharp lines across the body, an LED headlamp complimented by a beak-like fender at the front. Moving towards the back, the LED tail lamps are said to be inspired by Suzuki’s motorcycle lineup.
The motor is a 124.3-cc single-cylinder unit that produces a healthy 8.7 hp and 10 Nm. Now we’ve sampled this motor in the Access 125, however as this scooter a bit larger and heavier than the Access 125, it would be interesting to see how this combination works.
[Read more…]The third-generation Suzuki Hayabusa is back with a bang in its 2021 iteration. Here is our first impression following a rather exhilarating first ride.
The nimble Suzuki Gixxer 250 takes on the re-styled Yamaha FZS 25, the muscular Bajaj Dominar 250, the stylish Husqvarna Svartpilen 250, and the sporty KTM 250 Duke.
