hi fellas,

many of you must be knowing about the hyosung's gt650r and the st7 that are supposedly going to be launched somewhere near diwali (source bike magazine august 2010 edition)

here are some of the facts:
GT650R:
80ps of power
647 v twin engine
67 nm
capable of speeds in excess of 200
price tag expected 3.75-4lakh (ex showroom)
ST7
678 90 deg V Twin
62ps
63nm
price tag expected 5-5.25lakh (ex showroom)

(source: Bike India August 2010 Pages 46-56)

i would like to see them rolling on road....
also am surprised if Hyosung can pay the homologation charges why cant biggies like yami, honda, duc etc.???

[HydBiker]

guys, how are the 650 cc's allowed to be imported?

Did any rules change recently? or did I miss something very simple?

that is why I am a bit skeptical about the launch...
even kawasaki is planing to launch the ninja 650r with a max power of arnd 75-80bhp somewhere near diwali (source Bike India)...

They'll be getting it as CKD

[kinshuk.arya]

that would mean if they are bringing in CKD's they wont have to get the bikes homologated???

The engine is getting glazed even before the launch
what else,twin cylinder and 8 valves is a sick joke ..........that too on a 250cc bike coming from Pulsar lineage.
