BS6 Suzuki Intruder becomes costlier in India
What's the story
Suzuki Motorcycle India has increased the prices of its BS6-ready Intruder motorcycle by Rs. 2,141. As per reports, the upward price revision has been done to compensate for the losses suffered during the COVID-19 induced lockdown. At Rs. 1.22 lakh, the new price-tag makes the Intruder significantly costlier than its closest rival, the Bajaj Avenger Street 160, which costs Rs. 95,000 (ex-showroom, Delhi).
