The best just got better!
Not content with having the fastest, lightest, sportiest and most stylish
cruiser around. Hyosung decided to up the ante and improve its performance
again, with an electronic fuel injected
version of their tried and tested 650cc engine having a full 10hp more than the
carburettor version taking it to 80hp.
Celebrate Hyosung Motors 30th Anniversary and Hyosung Motors America's 3rd
Anniversary.
In honor of the Anniversaries, Hyosung Motors has released a Special Limited
Edition GV650 in its 2009 fuel-injected line.
These are available at Hyosung dealerships nationwide while supplies last. Try
it today you won’t be sorry.
It’s been 30 years since Hyosung motorcycles was founded in South Korea and, to
commemorate the milestone, a limited-edition version of the popular GV650
cruiser has been released for the 2008 model year.
The GV650 has always been one of Hyosung’s best-selling models, combining sporty
cruising with ample power and an attractive price tag. The anniversary model
still combines all those elements, but it’s in the finish where the disparity
kicks in: the tubular frame and wheels on the limited-edition are red, and the
rest of the machine is a deep and lustrous black.
“Most people probably think that Hyosung only started producing motorcycles,
scooters and ATVs recently,” said Mark Fattore, the Marketing Manager at Hyosung
Australia. “This model highlights that Hyosung has 30 years of motorcycle design
and manufacturing experience in South Korea and is a serious international
player in its own right.”
Hyosung motorcycles are manufactured at a massive industrial complex in Changwon
City, which is located on the south-eastern tip of the Korean Peninsula. In
2007, Hyosung Motors and Machinery was acquired by the S&T Group – one of South
Korea’s biggest corporations with a global turnover of more than $10 billion.
The manufacturing company is now called S&T Motors.
Limited
Edition GV650.
Limited edition of the GV650
featuring EFI, special gloss/matte black finish, Candy Red highlights, and it is
embossed with "30 Anniversary xxx out of 1000". This model is limited to 200
bikes within the USA. The other 800 bikes are shipped to other countries so if
you purchase one, you will have 1 of 1000 in the entire world, 1 of 200 in the
USA.
This bike looks like a V-Rod but is 1/3 the price. Even at 1/3 the price, the
bike has many high-end features like an 8 valve DOHC engine that revs to
10,500RPM while putting out 80HP. It is water cooled, has a large capacity fuel
tank, adjustable foot pegs, dual front disk brakes and a two year warranty.
The bike employs a belt drive system which is 3 times better than the chain-type
plus this belt drive is quieter and maintenance-free.
