Suzuki GZ150 will challenge the Bajaj Avenger Street 150; second model to enter 150 cc cruiser segment in India
Suzuki is expected to bring its GZ150 cruiser motorcycle in India in 2017. In that case, the motorcycle will be the second model to enter the domestic market’s 150 cc cruiser segment and it will challenge the Bajaj Avenger Street 150 upon arrival. In order to make it competitive, the Japanese two-wheeler manufacturer could price it aggressively at around Rs. 90,000 (ex-showroom).
Suzuki has seen impressive success in the country market with Gixxer series. The company currently sells commuter bikes, sportbikes and automatic scooters here. If the GZ150 is launched, it would make the brand’s entry in new segment. Considering the success of the Bajaj Avenger Street 150, the Suzuki GZ150 is assumed to receive a positive response if priced right.
