The Korean bike manufacturer Hyosung is set to re-enter in Indian market again.This time they come with the two 650cc models- the GT650R sports bike and the ST7 cruiser.Both bike will powered by the same 650cc, 82 PS V-Twin engine. Earlier Hyosung brought the Aquila cruiser and a 250cc Comet in India but the sales of these bikes never really took-off.
The GT650R and the ST7 are expected to be priced in the 3.5-4.25-lakh rupee bracket which, given the specs of the two vehicles, is a very competitive price tag. Currently the Kawasaki Ninja 250R, which resides on a 3-lakh rupee sticker price, is the only player in this segment and the arrival of the Hyosungs should heat up the game soon.
More details on this news will be shared in the days to come. But for now we hope that these bikes make it to the Indian market soon and this time Hyosung has a better dealership network along with better availability of the spares. Hopefully the competition in the high performance segment is going to improve in India with the launch of such bikes.
