Suzuki's 3 Premium Bikes for 2010.
Suzuki Motorcycles had a rather quiet appearance at the Auto Expo 2010 with no new launches. In fact the company did not even set up a separate section for their bikes and instead simply put up the motorcycles amongst the Maruti Suzuki cars. The imported motorcycles on display included the Hayabusa and Intruder which have already been launched in India. It was interesting to see the GSX-R600 and the SV650S also on display. Sources close to company claim that there is a 600cc superbike that the company is probably homologating for the Indian market and our guesses are on the SV650S. Not only is the bike a lot more practical for city use as well as touring, but it also comes in cheaper than the Gixxer600 (might get a sub-8 lakh ex-showroom tag) and leaves the sportbiking avenue open for the GSX-R1000.
The sources also hint that Suzuki is working on getting a 250cc motorcycle to the Indian market to start off their own performance bikes’ line-up. We hear that there are three bikes scheduled for 2010 and though there is not even the slightest of hints of the third bike, we hope to see the Gixxer1000 or the monstrous B-King. Fingers crossed!

My Comments: Guys, Take this SV650 news with a pinch of salt.
Most of all, read the specific words carefully.The sources just mentioned its a 600, and it is BI's guess on SV650. It's most probably Gladius as mentioned by Economic Times.
However, a 250cc for Indian market seems good. I just hope its a genuine deal, not some air cooled 2 valve rip-off for masses...
As for the 3rd bike, it might be the GSX 1000R, but taken the strong position held by CBR and R1 in terms of performance, this third bike might be something else too...
And know what? This reminds me that a new suzuki showroom just opened near my house, on Jaipur Road...
