    Auto Expo 2012: Suzuki Motorcycles launches two new products - Hayate and Swish

    New Delhi: Suzuki Motorcycle India Private Limited (SMIPL) have unveiled two new products at the 2012 Auto Expo being held at the Pragati Maidan. The first one is an 110cc mass market commuter called Hayate and the second is a 125cc scooter called Swish. The Swish, which will be selling alongside the Acess, will be priced at Rs 45,431, ex-showroom Delhi and will be available with the dealers by March this year. Suzuki haven't revealed the pricing of the Hayate but said that it will be priced competitively.



    The Hayate derives its name from the Japanese word meaning "swift wind". It gets a 112.8cc engine with a carburetor, however, Suzuki haven’t divulged details about its power output. The Swish in the meanwhile gets a 125cc heart having a power output of 8.7PS.

    Auto Expo 2012: Suzuki launches 125cc scooter Swish, 110cc motorcycle Hayate
    --Sunny Sen January 5, 2012

    It will be a no brainer to say that at the Auto Expo Suzuki Motorcyles launched two-wheelers. But, interestingly, unlike its more prevalent models in the west, it launched a 125cc Scooter, the Swish and 110cc motorcycle, the Hayate at Auto Expo 2012. The 100-125cc category is more than 70 per cent of the Indian motorcycle market and Suzuki wants to be a strong player in this segment. However, the 150cc plus category is growing at a faster pace and also commands more margins. Why wouldn't Suzuki come out with one of the heavier and more powerful machines at the Auto Expo 2012? "We do agree that the 150 plus category is growing faster, but this is major market, so we launched these during this Expo," says Atul Gupta, Vice-President, sales and marketing, SMIPL. "But we do not rule out that we will come out with more powerful bikes." Suzuki having made a mark with bikes like the Hayabusa, coming out with meaner machines will definitely be something that the industry will be watching out for.

        The Swish will face a very stiff competition from Hero Maestro and the new Honda Dio. Poor service network of Suzuki also is a negative point.

        And the bland styling of the 112 cc Hayate definitely keeps away the customers.

              Damn it, no Inazuma Though Swish is good. It's competition can't be with Dio, as it is 125cc and Dio is 110. Suzuki access engine is much peppier than honda 110cc (I have experience of Aviator 110cc and Access 125cc). The 125cc is much punchier than 110cc.

                    what the hell is wrong with the suzuki people? is it "the indians only deserve these ugly looking 100ccs"??
                    They are not investing anything for a r15,cbr250 challenger, looks like all they wanna make is sorry looking commuters
                    Go ahead suzuki, dig your own grave.

                        Suzuki launches Hayate @ 40 K (ex Showroom Pune)

                        Suzuki has launched the Hayate, a 112.8cc motorcycle that looks all too similar to their existing Slingshot model, with it's new name meaning Swift wind in Japanese, while sporting a fresh set of graphics. The Hayate comes with an 8 litre fuel tank. The button started Hayate is powered by a four-stroke, 112.8cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine that uses a four-speed, all-down shifted gearbox. 17inch alloy rims are offered front and rear with the new 112kg (kerb weight) Suzuki bike. It uses a single downtube frame and conventional telescopic forks for front suspension. While at the rear, Suzuki has deployed 5-way adjustable, hydraulic shock absorbers allied to an archaic tubular swingarm, a component that has long since been replaced by the superior rectangle section swingarm on modern day Indian motorcycles.
                        The Hayate is set to target the high volumes commuter bike market in India, priced at an affordable Rs 40,162-42,162 (ex-showroom, Pune), and will be sold in shades of white, green, grey, red and black

                          Electric Start is now quoted as "Button started"?

                            This looks equally ugly to slingshot. Embarassing is all I can say
                            Why won't a buyer go for Dream Yuga or Disco 4g instead of this. Wake up Suzuki before you turn into a scooter company.

                              Everybody wants a share of the commuter market. Go ahead. You need to make some market share, number of units sold and money too. But before going aggressively into the commuter market where vehicles are sold in large number, they should seriously do something about their service network and quality.

                              That being said, I seriously hope for a 180cc GS and the 250 Inzamam or whatever its name is
