Hayabusa Day celebrated in India

Suzuki Motorcycle India Private Limited (SMIPL) celebrated ‘Hayabusa Day’. The event was organised on August 21st in the following cities of Delhi, Pune, Bangalore, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Bhubaneswar and Hyderabad. The Suzuki Hayabusa is the flagship offering in the Japanese bikemaker’s portfolio and local assembly of the motorcycle started in earlier this year. The Suzuki Hayabusa also holds the distinction of being the fastest motorcycle before the gentleman’s agreement was signed between the two-wheeler giants to restrict the top speed of the bike at 300kmph. 

Commenting on the occasion Satoshi Uchida, Managing Director, SMIPL, said “The ‘Hayabusa Day’ celebrates the passion and spirit of owning and riding this legendary motorcycle and will instill a sense of pride and exclusivity among Hayabusa owners. We intend to make this an annual tradition to promote the Big Bike Culture and the cult following of the Hayabusa among Indian riders”.

Named after the Peregrine Falcon, one of the fastest birds in the world, the Suzuki Hayabusa is among the most popular motorcycles globally and was made popular among Indian masses after it was featured in Bollywood flick Dhoom. Hayabusa Day is observed in Japan on August 23rd, with Hayabusa owners coming together for a meet and short rides. It was the first occasion that Hayabusa Day was celebrated in India with Busa owners heading out for a ride together and they were given memorabilia to commemorate the occasion.
