Main sales force for Suzuki comes from Access 125, Burgman Street 125 and Gixxer 155. The major contributor is the Access scooter, which clocks around 50,000 units every month, securing the third best-selling scooter position.
To boost the sales, Suzuki launched the Gixxer SF 250 a couple of months back, which has garnered decent attention. The fully-faired 250cc sportsbike is priced at Rs 1.70 Lakhs (ex-showroom), going against KTM RC200 and Yamaha Fazer 250.
Suzuki recently upgraded the Gixxer SF and Gixxer 155 with cosmetic upgrades, which makes them look sleeker, sharper and sportier. The SF looks similar to the SF 250 and a proper sportsbike as well.
