    India Exclusive on xBhp: Urban Commandos : The 2010 Hyosung 250 EFi Range Review

    Recently I shot the new fuel injected 2010 Hyosung 250 CC models in Melbourne, Australia at their official launch. Here is an India exclusive article on the mega 250CCs. This is all the more important in the wake of the Ninja 250 being launched in India!

      Superb pictures but the reviews for the GT250 have been less than kind. Most of the reviews talk about the low quality materials, premature rusting and general lack of attention to detail on the Hyosung machine vis the Kawasaki.

      It is a bit down on power as well and although the V-Twin engine can make up for that deficit with better drive out of corners I guess most Indian buyers will be the datasheet prodding type.

      If the price is right then none of the above will matter...it will be a small price to pay to have a shiny bit of kit parked in your driveway that offers decent fuel efficiency and fun as well.

      Bring it on...

          Awesome pics and writeup as usual Sunny. I do hope Mahindra follows the baby Ninja's progress and plans to (re?)launch atleast one of the Hyosungs if not all of them. The GT250R looks hawt!

              You didnt read the article. It has to be Hyosung themselves to get the bikes into India, not through any third party importer who doesnt care about after sales service and the Hyosung brand image.

                I did but since Hyosung had ties with the erstwhile Kinetic group which has been taken over by Mahindra now, i thought it would be but natural that Mahindra would renew any contracts? or re-launch the whole 250 range over here in India. In my humble opinion it would be asking too much from Hyosung to set up a country wide network in a place like India for a market which is very niche. Just my thoughts...

                  Nice to see that Hyosung is atleast thinking of a comeback!
                  The GT appeals me aesthetically more than the baby Ninja.

                  PS- Lovely pictures, as usual!

                      ^^Atleast let it(ninja) come...then we may think of competition...we know 5th is the date...but still...after around 2 years of speculations need to see it in flesh to believe its here

                      BTW GT250R looks solid...but I doubt they will get it here in recent future

                        Dear Hyosung,
                        One Aquila for me please... but not that shiny chrome one... the dual tone ones sold by Kinetic looked cool

                        Liked the article Sunny. Thank you.

                            Bingo! Exactly my point. This is what I have read at most reviews!

                            Edit;

                            @Sunny: Just finished reading it. Very well written article indeed. The photographs are really nice too! Very professional job.

                              Oh man! How I wish the Korean bike maker launch this sexy bike here.. The bike looks gorgeous from any angle.
                              It may not be as fun as mini ninja but if its priced less than "chotta ninja" in India it'll get more buyers for sure!
