Suzuki launched their first BS6 big bike in India – the V-Strom 650 XT – for Rs 8.84 lakh (ex-showroom). That’s quite a steep hike over the BS4 model which was priced at Rs 7.46 lakh but the motorcycle itself hasn’t been updated apart from BS6 compliance.
Suzuki launched their first BS6 big bike in India a few days ago and that’s the V-Strom 650 XT. The BS6 Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT has been priced in India at Rs 8.84 lakh (ex-showroom). That’s quite a steep hike over the BS4 model which was priced at Rs 7.46 lakh, ex-showroom. The bump in price is by a massive Rs 1.37 lakh. The V-Strom 650 XT was showcased earlier this year at the 2020 Auto Expo but it took the company so long to actually launch the motorcycle in the country because of Covid-19 related delays.
The steep hike in price is quite a surprise and frankly, unjustified, as the motorcycle isn’t significantly updated and not much…
