Also, in South Korea, the Hyosung Motor Company was incorporated. It didn’t make too many headlines, but today and almost 30 years on, the Hyosung GV650 Anniversary model commemorates the start of the company back in 1978.
It’s one of Hyosung’s best-selling models, combining laid back, contemporary cruiser styling with ample power and an attractive price tag. But the GV650 Anniversary model is finished in dramatic and stunning black and red. The main elements of the tubular frame, the wheels and other details are highlighted in red. The rest of the bike is a deep and lustrous black – including the engine and major mechanical components.
Of course, it is powered by Hyosung’s latest electronic fuel injected 650cc V-twin engine, now developing 80bhp and 67Nm of torque. All of that is transmitted to the rear wheel through a five speed gearbox and a quiet, durable belt drive.
This limited edition GV650 will be on the Hyosung stand at this week’s NEC Bike Show and will be in the 88 Hyosung dealerships early next year, when the price will also be announced.
The Hyosung stand at this year’s Bike Show will be in Hall 1 from November 22 to December 2
