lazy suzuki two-wheelers

As a Suzuki owner i'm really delighted to know this news.. Roll in some new beasts (esp 250cc and naked tourers) and no one can beat u in India..

March on Suzuki

Are you kidding?? Suzuki two-wheeler division is very lazy. Their products and price is good, but style of their products is very boring. They dont upgrade styling of their products. Also, except Access, all suzuki products are too heavy; they have bad power-to-weight ratio.

Worse, there is not even a proper website for Access or Gs150r that shows a close-up picture of the scooter/bike and its various features.

Suzuki's top-most manager in India does not even put some effort to give a new statement every month while commenting on their sales performance. Even next month he will repeat this:

"Commenting on the June sales performance, SMIPL Vice-President (Sales and Marketing) Atul Gupta said, "We have received very good response from the market to all our products."

"The growing customer satisfaction among present owners of Suzuki products has led to a positive word-of-mouth in the market. We are committed to give the best to our customers," he added."

They seem to be very happy with suzuki (maruti) car sales, so they are neglecting bikes. With this kind of lazy attitude from suzuki, they are going to lag behind in the Indian market for a long long time.

Sometimes luck matters in market, we have seen in past that some good bikes have failed miserably.., Yamaha 100cc bikes, LML Freedom, Kinetic Challenger/ Velocity, Kawasaki Wind125, HH Achiever/Ambition etc etc. People owning these bikes still write songs on their bikes.
According to me Slingshot is segment best, very torquey, best LET, GSR150 is also great contender in 150cc segment, mix of many good things.
As rightly pointed, Suzuki is strongly focussed on cars than bikes, hope they get up from slumber soon.

True..


Suzuki can do better by making more of its "Access" scooters. The Activa has a 6-8 month waiting list.. leading to people opting for the Pleasure, Access, Wego and even Mahindra Scooters.

The Access can also do with some better styling, otherwise the scooter is reported to be quite good.

yeah access is better then activa but i don't know why Suzuki is not launching a proper performance bike Here like R15 or CBR250R
