Suzuki Hayabusa sales hit a record high in India in FY2026

In FY2026, the Suzuki Hayabusa’s sales in the Indian market hit a record high of 543 units, a 6 percent increase from 511 units in FY2025. That’s despite the rollout of GST 2.0 in September, which raised the tax on two-wheelers above 350cc, driving up their prices.

1. Sales in the first half of FY2026 were higher, before the GST revision
2. Price of Hayabusa increased by Rs 1.16 lakh post GST
3. Hayabusa remains Suzuki’s bestselling big bike in India

Hayabusa sales up even as GST increases for 350cc+ two-wheelers

The Hayabusa, Suzuki’s flagship model, remains the bestselling bike in the 1,000-1,600cc segment with a 49 percent share. This segment reached a new fiscal year high of 1,105 units, up 22 percent from the preceding year. The previous best was 939 units in FY2022.

In the first half (H1) of FY2026, the ’Busa sold 324 units, but sales in H2 dropped 32 percent to 219 units. This decline can mainly be attributed to the Rs 1.16 lakh jump in the Hayabusa’s price to Rs 18.06 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) after the revised GST rates came into effect.

Hayabusa accounts for nearly half of the segment sales in FY2026

The Hayabusa topped the 1,000-1,600cc segment for the fourth year running with its record sales of 543 units. However, its share in this sub-segment dropped by 8 percentage points – from 57 percent in FY2025 to 49 percent – due to GST 2.0-driven price hike.
