Mangaluru Nov 26: Proud owner Karthik Hegde received a prized possession, the Suzuki Apex Predator GSX - S720 worth Rs 9.3 lac at Sri Anagha Suzuki showroom near Sharbathkatte on Monday, November 26.
Karthik Hegde is the first owner of Suzuki Apex predator GSX - S720 in Mangaluru. Karthik hails from Bejai and works as a team leader at Cauvery Ford in Padil.
Sri Anagha Suzuki organised a handing over ceremony in which the motorcycle was handed over to Karthik Hegde by Venkat Phani, managing director, Sri Anagha Suzuki.
An elated Karthik Hegde said, "I always had a dream to own a super bike. Earlier, I owned a 153cc bike and now I have moved to 750cc. The bike with 750cc is smooth for riding and good for long journeys.”
“Many told me that I could buy a car instead of buying such an expensive bike. I would say that it is my passion for the bike. Only bike lovers know the value of spending Rs 9.3 lac for a motorcycle. I chose Anagha Suzuki because of their customer service which I liked the most,” he said.
Venkat Phani said, "I congratulate Karthik on this brand new two-wheeler. We have already received six enquires and I hope they will convert into bookings.”
Unit head Akshay was also present.
About Suzuki Apex Predator GSX - S720
Inherited directly from a GSX-R supersport machine, the powerful 749cm3 four-cylinder fuel-injected engine produces 84kW @10,500rpm and 81Nm @9,000rpm and is specially tuned and refined to maximise its potential on the streets and on winding roads. The 4-stroke, 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC, and 6-speed constant mesh has cutting-edge technologies from the legendary GSX-R series control engine management. The downdraft double-barrel Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) system ensures efficient combustion and smooth, highly controllable power delivery throughout the engine’s broad power range. Suzuki’s digital ignition system, Idle Speed Control (ISC) and the use of iridium spark plugs contribute to linear throttle response, greater low-end torque production, easier engine startup, lower cold-start emissions, and more stable idling.
Three mode traction control system, Nissin antilock brake system, Low RPM assist, Easy start system, aggressive headlight design, full control at your fingertips, full LCD instrumentation, Radial mounted four piston opposed front calipers, Tapered handlebars, and bridgestone battalax hypersport S21 tyres are the added features.
