DSK Hyosung's absence from the AUTO EXPO 2016 was disheartening. While DSK Benelli had set up fascinating stand with their 4 new motorcycles, Hyosung was nowhere to be seen. However, a talk with Shirish Kulkarni, who heads both Benelli and Hyosung, shined light on Hyosung's future plans.
According to Kulkarni, Hyosung plans to launch 4 new motorcycles in India over a period of 18 months. Out of the 4 Hyosung bikes, 3 will be released this year, staring from May. The 4th bike is expected to come out early next year.
Lets take a look at what Hyosung has in its bag:
(1) Hyosung GV300
This strongly built cruiser is all set to replace the existing GV250 Aquila. Only available in the shade of grey, the GV300 is powered by a 275 cc engine which churns out a maximum power of 26 horses at 8500 rpm and a max torque of 23.5 Nm at 7000 rpm. This Hyosung has a great deal of chrome finishing and blackened out engine and alloys. It is expected to come out in May with a price tag of INR 3,00,000.
