About Hyosung GD
20th June 2015: Remember the Kinetic Aquila? That was the first time India ever witnessed a Hyosung. The bike instantly became famous, but disappeared unexpectedly, like an overnight superstar. But it was a long time back, some 13 years ago. Hyosung has been very serious to the Indian market from the moment it stepped its foot here solely with the GT650R, and the current lineup of Hyosung clearly implies that its presence in the middle weight sports bikes cannot be ignored. Though the presence of heavy weight Japanese, European and now Americans too (in the form of Harleys) have made this Korean manufacturer an underdog initally, but the launching of brilliant products one after the other in the face of faired sports bikes and cruisers brought a big fan following towards it and made Hyosung an avid player in the Indian market. And with the introduction of GD250N, Hyosung has filled the void of not having a street fighter in its Indian lineup.
Though with a slow pace, but Hyosung is even building up its sales and service network in most of the parts of India, in order to grab the market share it plans to. Back to the bike then, the GD250N hits every sweet spots for the Indian buyers – it has got solid muscular and swanky looks, its light weighted and compact, it has got a very tractable engine, handling this machine is easy even for amateurs, ride quality is decent and certainly is well kitted out.
Frankly speaking, this is the best overall product Hyosung has presented for Indian market, and this improvement graph over the previous offers it presented clearly indicates the seriousness of Hyosung for India. The only thing left to win the hearts is the pricing. Expected to be launched in April 2014, the bike is supposed to bear a sticker price between Rs 1.6 lakh to Rs 1.8 lakh. Though on a premium side, but if Hyosung manages to hit the pricing of the motorcycle perfectly, the other players in the quarter liter segment like Honda, Yamaha and KTM need to worry, as this ‘small-but-big” motorcycle from Hyosung certainly has the soul of being a worthy competitor for them. The only task which Hyosung has to cover up on a large scale, is to expand its after sales and service network and become a household name, which still in small towns it isn’t, as maintaining such exotic motorcycles is even more complex than actually buying them, isn’t it?

GD Expert Review
If there is one automobile brand which tells us that India is a serious market for international players, it’s the Hyosung. Being a prominent manufacturer in some of the contemporary markets like those of UK, US, South America and Australia, this Korean brand forayed into the Indian subcontinent some 4 years ago and exists as a joint venture between DSK Moto Wheels and Hyosung, South Korea. Though at a sluggish rate, but this bike maker has made its sure footed position in the middle-weight sports bike segment, thanks to its cruisers and fully faired sports bikes’ lineup. And with the increasing heat of competition, Hyosung has also caught up in the rat race, thanks to its adequate products and competitive pricing – credits go to the CKD assembly at its plant in Wai, Maharashtra.
Sure, Hyosung has made a celebrated reputation among the young enthusiasts, but the one segment where its presence was badly missed is the entry level naked street bike segment. Hyosung has taken care of this particular segment and thus, introduced their first street fighter for India at the 2014 Delhi Auto Expo, which is christened as GD250N. The bike looked outstanding amongst the other ravishing lineup from Hyosung and drew numerous curious eyeballs towards it in the Auto Expo. Hyosung don’t want to enter this segment late now and has confirmed the launch of this beast by the mid quarter of 2014 in the Indian market. This 250cc muscle street bike promises a lot with its minimalistic, but beefier design approach and an equally promising 250cc motor. Does it fares better amongst its natural competitors like the KTM Duke 200? Time to judge its capabilities, then.
