Motorcycle enthusiasts are a growing lot in the country and this has led to a host of manufacturer led motorcycling clubs coming to India. With the likes of Harley Owners Group (H.O.G) or Riders Association of Triumph (RAT) already here, Suzuki Motorcycle India will soon be joining this list with the launch of Hayabusa's official India club - Hayabusa Creed India. The Suzuki Hayabusa is the company's highly popular offering and clearly one of the bestselling super bikes in the country. The club will be officially launched on August 20, 2017, which also marks 'World Hayabusa Day'.

Suzuki India's website states that every year, the third Sunday of August is commemorated as 'Hayabusa Day' on a global scale. Hence, the Japanese bike maker has chosen the date to launch the Hayabusa Creed India club. Suzuki has rides planned for the day across several cities, which would be followed by different activities, music and lunch.

Named after one of the fastest birds - Peregrine Falcon in Japan, the Suzuki Hayabusa GSX-1300R holds a cult status globally. It was one of the fastest accelerating motorcycles when it went on sale in 1998 and has since managed to break several records. In fact, when the Suzuki Hayabusa exceeded the top speed of 310 kmph in 1999, fears of a European ban or regulatory crackdown led Japanese and European motorcycle makers having a gentleman's agreement to agree to limited top speed of motorcycles to 300 kmph in late 1999.
In addition to H.O.G and RAT in India, some of the other manufacturer backed motorcycle clubs include Indian Motorcycle Rider's Group (IMRG) and Ducati Riders Club. There's also Rebels on Bikes (ROBS) from UM Motorcycles as well The Avenger Gods for Bajaj Avenger owners.
