Suzuki Hayabusa: The Suzuki Hayabusa holds a very special place in the hearts of Indian motorcycle enthusiasts. Its journey in India traces back to the iconic 2004 Bollywood film Dhoom, which introduced this powerful machine to millions of viewers across the country. That single cinematic moment transformed the Hayabusa from a foreign superbike into a cultural symbol, giving it a cult-like status that few motorcycles have ever achieved. The demand that followed was so overwhelming that Suzuki eventually began local assembly of the Hayabusa in India to meet the growing appetite for the bike.
Record-Breaking Sales Performance in FY26
The financial year 2025-26 turned out to be a landmark year for the Suzuki Hayabusa in India, as the bike registered its highest-ever annual sales figures. A total of 543 units were retailed during FY26, reflecting a year-on-year growth of 6 percent compared to 511 units sold in FY25. This achievement is even more significant considering the challenging market conditions that emerged during the second half of the financial year. The Hayabusa’s cumulative sales in India have now crossed 2,943 units in total, reinforcing its position as Suzuki’s most successful superbike in the Indian market.
GST Revision Impacted Second-Half Sales
The sales trend during FY26 was not uniform throughout the year, with a sharp contrast visible between the two halves. In the first half of FY26, 324 units of the Hayabusa were sold, driven by strong consumer demand ahead of the GST revision. However, when the revised GST structure came into effect in September 2025, it increased the tax rate from 28 percent to 40 percent on two-wheelers with engine displacement above 350cc. This pushed the on-road price of the Hayabusa higher by approximately Rs 1.16 lakh, resulting in a steep 32 percent drop in sales during the second half, with only 219 units being retailed. The Hayabusa currently carries an ex-showroom price of Rs 18.06 lakh in Delhi.
