For the prudent yet enthusiastic motorcyclist, the quarter liter class seems the one to look for. With major players like the Ninja and CBR 250R already on the charts, it is imperative for others to hop on to the 250 cc bandwagon. Speaking of competitors, Hyosung has its hands full with the GT650 and the ST7. And to enter the 250 cc segment, the Korean manufacturer has just one motorcycle with two [...]

The launch of the ST7 and GT650R was a landmark move by Hyosung India and Garware Motors. Both bikes were positioned in the niche segment and it felt they was more of an image-making (or remaking?) ploy by the Korean company. The fate of these motorcycles depend on how well Hyosung markets them as you can buy a Harley for cheaper than a ST7. Kawasaki bought in the Ninja 650R at a marginally lesser [...]

Garware Motors along with S&T Motors announced the launch of two super bikes -GT650R (Sports bike) and ST 7 (Cruiser bike) in Mumbai today afternoon.

Hero’s split with Honda in India leaves it in a spot of bother [...]

Though the 250cc segment is under some strong invasion from the Japanese manufacturers and the other manufacturers alike, the 600cc segment is completely untapped in India. The homologation problems and the economic infeasibility of a 600 have been the primary factors for the manufacturers to overlook this segment. But now, Hyosung, the Korean manufacturer who introduced the first twin-cylinder 250s [...]

The biggest news that is currently going on in the Indian biking fraternity is the launch of GT650R sports bike and ST7 cruiser from Hyosung. But far from all this power hungry malarkey, the parent company of Hyosung S&T motors, has launched first tree-hugging electric scooters in Korea. Called the E-VA, the scooter runs on lithium-ion battery and is available in 4 colors. I apologize as it is [...]

The Korean bike manufacturer is back and this time it means business.  As already reported by IMB before, Hyosung is coming back with more powerful bikes to choose from in its second stint. Hyosung in collaboration with Garware Motors is bringing the sporty Hyosung GT650R and the cruiser Hyosung ST7 to India. The launch date for the two motorcycles is November 27. The Hyosung GT650R is one heck of [...]
