    The naked version gives a feel that there was something else on this bike which is now missing. It does not give that "completeness" to the bike. A bikini fairing e.g. a small FZ or Pulsar 200 kind of fairing would have helped. Or may be, it's only in pics and will not give that feeling when seen in real.

        The 82bhp is on their international version... But the engines are detuned for India and the power output reduces to 72 bhp,,,

          Thanks for replying, I guess I was not clear! I know that its 72, it was some others who were asking

          Anyway the 2012 model in a way was always here on xBhp. Have a look at hisunil's bike

            quite true & that is the reason why many like the er 6 n or the z1000 etc have additional small bikini fairing -- adds more to the appeal & doesn't look like an afterthought

            A classic example is the z1000 sx

              if i remember correctly, he installed a FZ headlight on GT250, and some other parts he imported and a nice paint job

              ---------------

              By the way, very nice initiative and strategy by hyosung, now we have a 650 CC bike at below 5 lakhs price.

              anybody know how much will be its on road price.?

                      removing the fairing reduces weight, so ... is the performance of GT650N better than R...??

                        8 Kg reduction in weight will hardly be noticeable on a 200 Kg/72 Ps machine.

                        The main difference would be in the relatively comfortable riding stance.

                          A weight reduction of 4-5 kgs hardly has an impact on noticeable performance. This was seen in P220F to S conversion too...

                          BTW Wet weight is not given, dry is given because its lesser which is just under 200 kgs.
                          And in the press release, Power figure is quoted before the detuning, rather than what we'll get.
                          Even price is exshowroom 4.39L, instead of a rounded 4.40L.
                          Garware is trying to gain some psychological advantage?

                            82 BHP..... almost 10 HP more than the 650R ..

                              but i assumed that only difference with gt650r is that fairing is removed, are there other changes as well...??

                                Nakes sports bikes dont come with Clipons USUALLY, they have regular ones ! So the stance is relaxed.
