Do you remember Hyosung ? If you don’t then I wish to remind you of the mighty 250CC monsters Hyosung Comet and Hyosung Aquilla which were launched in India a few years back when no other brand even thought of such power packed motorcycles.
The brand initially attacked the Indian two wheeler market like a monster but since the bikes were too powerful and expensive, they could not stand against the existing low cost, low maintenance, economical bikes and faded away. Now after a long time the company is planning to re-enter India with the Hyosung 650R and the Hyosung ST7.
The bikes to be launched will altogether act as a new approach towards the unexploited segment of 600 to 700 CC motorcycles.
