Hyosung is set to launch a new motorcycle this month. The GV 650 is a 90 degree V-Twin cruiser.
Hyosung in partnership with DSK currently sells four models in India. The GT 250R, a quarter liter sport bike. The GT 650R, a 650cc sports bike. The GT 650N, a naked with the same engine. The ST7, a 700cc V-Twin Cruiser. The GV 650 will be the fifth bike in their lineup.
The new bike shares the same engine as the 650R, but it will be in a completely different state of tune, suited for cruiser needs.
Hyosung had originally entered India with Kinetic. But withdrew from the market after their motorcycles did not meet with much success. In 2012 the Korean manufacturer tied up with DSK after their partnership with Garware failed.
The motorcycles have met with reasonable success in the Indian market as it has to take on the Jap manufacturers in the Sports bike segment and the American manufacturer for its cruiser. Currently there are no cruisers in the 650cc segment in India. This might to the advantage of Hyosung, provided it prices its motorcycle right.
