Hyosung to launch naked GT650 for less than Rs 4 lakh
Hyosung was planning to launch its GT650 (faired) and the St7 in India in association with Garware Motors of Pune. The expected price, as we speculated was to be somewhere in the region of Rs 5 lakh. However, Motorbeam is reporting that Hyosung plans to launch a naked (a la Comet) version of the bike as well, which is going to be priced at less than Rs 4 lakh. At that price, the Hyosung GT650 would really be an absolute steal, and would be an incentive for a lot of people to start saving up.
While there has been no official work from Hyosung about the pricing, we know for a fact that the company is planning to price their motorcycles aggressively in India. Hyosung doesn’t really have that terrific a brand value globally, or even in the Indian market for that matter. Nor do they have a very exhaustive sales and service network in the country. The only thing that can probably see them sail through is the pricing.
Hyosung GT650 at Rs 4.5 Lakh

These were the bikes that marked the opening of the era of modern multi-cylinder bikes in India. Now, they are back, this time with a new partner in the form of Garware.
