Suzuki Malaysia and its official Facebook page have been doing a lot of teasing lately to mark their official ‘return’ into the Malaysian market under its new arm. The latest teaser involves the Suzuki Gixxer model, a name officially given to a few 150cc and 250cc models in several markets, particularly India.

It seems that they are serious about not just reviving the Suzuki brand but judging by the number of models they’re planning to introduce, it looks more like a takeover. We’ve seen what their bikes are capable of and how popular it is amongst the local motorcycling enthusiast, and this new Suzuki Gixxer model (or models) will definitely stir a few pots.
When it comes to the Suzuki Gixxer name, a few models come to mind. These are the Gixxer 150 naked bike with 13hp, Gixxer 250 26hp, and its full-fairing brother, the Gixxer SF 250. If priced just right, it’ll certainly bring in a lot of revenues for the new custodians of the brand here in Malaysia.
Word also has it that they’re also working on bringing back all the small-capacity bikes and scooters, which the most highly anticipated model being the Belang Fi 150. We’ve been asking around and this particular model will certainly bring some heat and excitement into the 150cc segment which is dominated by Yamaha and Honda.

The only way they can pull this off if they play their cards right with the pricing as well as its dealers across Malaysia. We reckoned that if the Belang Fi 150 comes in at around RM8,000-RM9,000, a lot of people are going to notice and make a beeline straight to the nearest Suzuki dealer. We are indeed excited to see the next step.
