The GSXR 2009 will be launched in India along with its worldwide release. Suzuki are keen only to sell the latest products that why the 2008 GSXR wasnt launched with the Busa and Intruder (which are 2009 models). Pictures coming up.
Also the price difference is because of the falling rupee. i heard that even the R1 will have its price raised now (if Yamaha sells the 09 and not 07 models in the current year!).
