While the brand is considered a niche one in the Indian market, it has recorded commendable growth in the recent past. Talking of its new products, the brand took the veils off the V-Strom 800 DE at the EICMA this year. The adventure touring motorcycle will rival the likes of the BMW 850 GS, Triumph Tiger, and the forthcoming Honda Transalp 750, once launched. In addition, the Japanese brand has launched GSX-8S in the international market.
