Hyosungs in India by 20th April : The Korean Assault

Picture : Bobby Roy Chowdhury

Remember Hyosung? It was the same company that gave us, Indians, a chance to own and ride a proper full fledged 250cc motorcycle some years back. The same Korean giant is now back in India with Pune based Garware Motors and will soon be launching the GT650R as well as the ST7 models in India.

To be commercially available from 20th April, the GT650R is a proper sports bike - fully faired and with a powerful 650cc engine. The ST7 on the other hand is a proper Yankee cruiser and comes with a slightly larger capacity engine. It is also the one I would pick from among the two machines.

No pricing has been announced but we feel the GT650R will go on sale for around Rs 4.5 to 5 lakh whereas the ST7 will come with a sticker price of Rs 5 to 5.5 lakh. Fingers crossed till 20th April 2011
