Suzuki Motorcycle India has achieved the important production milestone of the 7 millionth unit. The launch of the Suzuki V-Storm SX motorcycle from the company’s Kherki Dhaula factory in Gurgaon was its celebratory unit. This motorcycle features a vibrant Champion Yellow 2 color scheme. The milestone comes after the company started its business in India 17 years ago.
Its India portfolio currently includes products such as V-Strom SX, Gixxer SF 250, Gixxer 250, Gixxer SF, Gixxer, Access 125, Avenis, Burgman Street and Burgman Street EX. Some of the bigger bikes in the portfolio include the Suzuki Hayabusa, V-Strom 650XT and Katana.

The company looks forward to continuing its sales momentum in the country. “This is a testament to our commitment to India and we hope to achieve many such milestones in the future. We thank our valued customers, business partners, colleagues and all colleagues for this extraordinary achievement,” said Director Suzuki Indian Motorcycles General Manager Kenichi Umeda said.
In the fiscal year ending March 2023, the company achieved record sales of 938,000 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 24.3% compared to the 2021-22 fiscal year. The company said the increase in sales figures indicated increasing demand for its two-wheelers in both domestic and overseas markets.
Last fiscal year, the company also entered the 250cc adventure sports segment with the introduction of the V-Strom SX. Highly regarded for its versatility, this bike is designed for the daily commute, long road rides, and rough terrain.
Based on the “toughness in a slim case” design philosophy, it features a rugged, adventure-inspired exterior. The slim case refers to the motorcycle’s slender profile and compact engine encased in a “protector-like” casing. The rounded chassis forms the backbone of the V-Strom SX.
