[MJH]

S&T Motors aka Hyosung out of Korea is partnering with an Indian company by the name of DSK MotoWheels They will be building into the market in phases. Initially offering domestically made 125-150cc models priced under $800.00 USD and eventually offering their current 250cc imported offerings as domestically made at around $2,600.00 USD currently the 250cc imports retail in India for around $4,400.00.


It all sounds great, however what is less then inspiring is the new 250 single they are promoting….it is very different some might even say just fugly.

Coming soon is the Hyosung X5

It seems the Hyosung is after some of the action in India with its GD250N, they released at Milan this month

S&T Motor's New Model Takes 1st Place
EXIV 250N, 2013 KKRRC Champions

S&T Motors has recently developed a new 250cc naked motorcycle, the EXIV 250N (model name: GD250N). On Sunday, November 10^th, the 2013 KKRRC (Korea Road Race Championship) was held at Yeongam F1 National Stadium. The new EXIV 250N piloted by Garage41 rider, Mr. Jeong took first place in the ST250 class. He navigated through the race beautifully all the way to a huge victory by a margin of 19 seconds.

KKRRC (Korea Road Race Championship) is the nation's only large displacement motorcycle race in the 250cc class, and this is the first time for a Korean domestic model to win in this class.

The EXIV 250N was recently unveiled at the 2013 EICMA show held in Milan, Italy from November 5^th to 10^th. The EXIV 250N was well received by European motorcycle riders at the show and will be available soon in the overseas markets, with the US and Canada to follow in 2014.

The EXIV 250N is a naked class bike with a proprietary S&T Motors 250cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder DOHC engine.

@MJH, now if Hyosung could make a 350cc version of this bike. Wow

I can see that Garage 41 removed the centralized exhaust, the bike is for racing and it likely lost the catalytic element within their race version and its exhaust system?

I am not sure what plan they have for a plant in India, but this is actually the bike to manufacturer their IMO.
It certainly cannot be manufactured their today since the factory in India is not likely built yet? Just not enough time to do that, they have in the meantime been setting up dealer networks throughout India.

BSM: What about exports? Are you looking towards catering to the international markets with your upcoming plant? SK: Yes, we are very much interested in catering to the export market. In fact, we had talks with Hyosung with regard to manufacturing engines here in India for overseas markets and they have given us a positive reply. With regard to complete motorcycles, we might do this, but we will only manufacturer certain models. After all, Hyosung also has their Korean plant to manufacture out of. I cannot tell you when any of this will happen, but it is on the cards.
