Salman Khan, the Bollywood superstar and a bike enthusiast, recently added the widely acclaimed Suzuki Hayabusa to his collection of superbikes. The legendary “Black” Hayabusa was presented to Salman Khan by Atul Gupta, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt. Ltd. (SMIPL) and Anu Anamika, National Head – Marketing, SMIPL. The Hayabusa houses a 4-stroke, 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC 1340cc engine and is equipped with electronic ignition. The superstar received this bike only days after Suzuki gifted him a limited edition blue Intruder M1800RZ.
Salman Khan, SMIPL Brand Ambassador, said, “One of my earliest superbikes was a Hayabusa and it’s one of my absolute favourites. This new one is an absolute beauty.”
The Bollywood actor, who also happens to be the brand Ambassador for Suzuki two-wheelers, has given back-to-back hit films and has entertained his fans with superlative performances. On receiving the superbike, Salman looked to be excited as he glanced through each feature of the new Suzuki Hayabusa. Salman is an avid biker and has a wide collection of motorbikes including many of them from the stables of the Japanese auto maker Suzuki.
“Suzuki two-wheelers’ association with Salman Khan has produced phenomenal results for us. This gesture serves as a token of acknowledgement of the value Salman has added to our brand. The Hayabusa is world renowned for its state-of- the-art technology. This occasion marks the coming together of two legendary icons,” said Atul Gupta, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, SMIPL.
Anu Anamika, National Head – Marketing, SMIPL, said, “Salman has a passionate streak for biking. His collection of bikes includes variants from mass bikes to superbikes. He has also used Suzuki bikes in his movies like ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, ‘Ready’ and ‘Dabangg2’. We are honoured to add another Suzuki masterpiece to his collection.”
