Latest News about Hyosung GT650R

After being dormant in the Indian market for over a year, Hyosung is planning to completely overhaul its Indian line-up with new and cosmetically updated models. The first among these to be launched here are the GT650R and the GT650N.

Hyosung is clear that it wants to make a big dent in the premium motorcycle space in India. And keeping this in mind, the company plans to go aggressive with its Indian partner, DSK Motowheels in the next financial year.

Hyosung has strengthened its network in India by opening a new showroom in Delhi. Called Urban Bykes, the new showroom is located at Main Rama Road, opposite Kirti Nagar Metro Station of the capital city, and was inaugurated by Mr Shivapada Ray, the COO of DSK Motowheels.

Hyosung is all set to unveil three new motorcycles at the upcoming 2015 EICMA. This news was confirmed by the company’s UK distributor.

No, we are not playing an April fool’s prank. This is the picture of the new GT250R. Don’t mistake it for the GT650R and what’s news is that Hyosung might launch this new version soon.

DSK Motowheels has entered into a three year strategic partnership with Motul as their official lubricant partner. The agreement was signed by Shirish Kulkarni, chairman of DSK Motowheels and Jiten Goswami chairman of Motul.

DSK is in the process of expanding its dealerships in Karnataka. It is believed that this is the result of good response and demand for their products in the state. The company is currently in process of selecting the dealers and the new showrooms will be operational in next few weeks.
