It is always fun to see what is happening in the rest of the world. Take this happy news from Hyosung Australia for example.


Hyosung GT650R top Sports Bike in January!

Hyosung's GT650R was the top selling Sports Bike in January 2010, with a 26.5% increase in sales over 2009.

The Hyosung GT650R outsold its nearest rival, the Yamaha R1 by 4 units. "This was an especially pleasing result for Hyosung", commented Hyosung's (Australia) Marketing Manager Mal Jarrett.

Since the release of the new fuel injected range last year, sales of the Hyosung range in general has lifted significantly.

The GT650R has an amazing list of running gear that is supplied as standard, such as USD forks, 4 piston brakes, 40Kw (54hp, ed.) in LAMS form, and also come with a 2 year unlimited warranty.

On a more local note, the Canadian version of the 2010 Hyosung GT650R features adjustable damping for the fork, adjustable preload of the rear spring, an impressive 79hp at 9259 rpm and 49lb-ft at 7250rpm. This is clearly more bike than the Aussie version they talk about here.

Moto123.com will be testing this bike later this year, so more info will be forthcoming on this emerging brand.
