5.Hyosung GD250N
The last two
years have seen tremendous growth in mania for naked bikes in India.
Manufacturers like Bajaj and KTM have already set their foot in this segment
and now Hyosung is ready to make its presence feel with the GD250N in the same class.
Interestingly, the GD250N looks a genuine street fighter that also boasts a
busy look at the same time. The fiber and body panels are restricted to minimal
and more metal elements pronounce an overall tough appeal in itself.
Design and Style
Hyosung GD250N has got some
fabulous features and design aspects which are worth mentioning and includes a
tipped-forward stance, a unique and stylish front halogen headlamp, a
maintenance free battery, black rear view mirrors on a nicely positioned
handlebar, a low driver's seat along with a step-up pillion
seat, self-start, a stylish stock exhaust for better mass centralization, a
diamond-type tubular frame chassis with an exposed alloy swing arm, some decent
cycle parts, a perfectly illuminated instrument cluster with a single LCD
screen to show every possible information, stylish 17-inch alloy wheels with
tubeless radial tires, front and rear turn indicators and a beautiful tail
light.
Dimensions
This naked bike has a length
of 1937mm, a width of 800mm and a height of 1055mm as its
dimensions and a large wheelbase of 1340mm for a stable and comfy ride. It has
a good ground clearance of 135mm for a bump-free ride and a kerb weight of
145kgs.
Engine and Gearbox
Hyosung GD250N has got a
249cc, 4-stroke, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, 4-valves DOHC
based engine with a maximum power of 28 bhp at 8,500 rpm and a
maximum torque of 24 Nm at 7,000 rpm and is mated with a six speed gearbox
transmission. The engine has a bore and stroke of 73mm and 59.6mm respectively
and the power is transferred to the rear wheel through a drive chain.
Suspension and Braking
Hyosung GD250N has got petal
disk brakes of 300mm diameter at front and 230mm diameter at rear. The
suspension system consists of 37mm upside down telescopic forks at
front and dual-side aluminum swing arm at rear. It also has a stand alarm.
Price
The Hyosung GD250N is likely to be priced around Rs 1.6 – 1.9 lakh and at that price it will certainly have no competition from the naked 250cc motorcycles. But, anything higher than that and it will be looking straight at Duke 390 territory which might turn against Hyosung in India. This motorcycle could be the game changer for Hyosung in India if they price it right.
