The Indian arm of the Japanese two-wheeler manufacturer sold 62,446 units during the month in the domestic market. The cumulative sales (Domestic and Exports) during August 2018 were recorded at 70,067 units.

The record-breaking sales were fueled by the strong performance of its 125cc premium scooters, the Access 125 and the newly launched Burgman Street 125.

With the promising performance expected to continue during the festive season, Suzuki Motorcycle India targets an annual sale of 7,00,000 units for the FY 2018-19.

The premium price tag of the Burgman brings a long list of features which includes a full LED headlight, digital instrument console, spacious storage (21.5 litre), disc brake with combined braking system (CBS) and tubeless tyres. The scooter also features a flexible foot-position which is aimed to reduce fatigue and offer best in class riding experience.
