Although it does mention the 250cc part, but which 250cc bike ? is it a newly developed 250 for India specifically ?

as far as i can see these are the suzuki 250cc bikes i know..

GSX250F (fully faired , top whack around 185 kmph)
GSF250 (aka the bandit 250, makes sense, although im ignorant where it's produced)
GZ250 (although its a cruiser type so unlikely to come)
GN250 (single cyl thumper , 22 hp , pricing cant be higher than 1.5 lakh )
as i expect from a CBU , it shouldn't be a mere single cyl 250cc engine,

what i expect is
pricing should be 2 lakh plus WHEN (i expect the likes of the GSX250F)

-it's more or equal to the R15 in refinement, a 250cc vibrating bike with choppy quality is not needed, it should be a good piece of engineering.
- Spares shouldn't run out or be unavailable
- service centres MUST be trained in order to service such bikes

after all im not just paying for a metal machine, the price paid also means that i dont have a headache whenever it's going in for a service, or getting stuck when parts arent there. and quality issues shouldn't be there (paint job, finish and reliability)


as far as the hayabusa goes, i found this link, dont have an idea of its credibility and the post is quite old and wrong on the launch date, although it mentions the pricing to be around 11 lakhs ?
