The company’s vice president Devashish Handa stated that the bikemaker is aiming at pushing the sales figure to 10 lakh units in the fiscal year 2019-20.
Suzuki has multiple models in its portfolio, from low-capacity scooters to high-capacity premium motorcycles. Of these, the highest selling two-wheeler is the Suzuki Access 125 which has registered consistent growth in its sales. On the flipside, the company’s premium commuter offerings, the Gixxer and Gixxer SF, have been a victim of consistently declining sales. However, the motorcycles are due for a major update in the coming days. Moreover, Suzuki is also expected to launch a quarter-litre naked bike, the Gixxer 250, to compete in the ever-growing 200cc-400cc segment.
