Overview: Hyosung GT650R Motorcycle 14 October 2008   Author: Mike Werner   Location: Normandy, France The Korean company Hyosung are not known for their comprehensive documentation; more like Korean text translated by Google Translator into English. But they are known for producing reasonable motorcycles at very affordable prices, in other words, ideal motorcycles for the novice with a limited budget. The Hyosung GT650R street motorcycle is a prime example of an affordable and "easy" motorcycle. Though until recently, the GT650 had to contend with carburetors, in the 2009 line-up, the Hyosung GT650R is now equipped with fuel injection. The fuel injection now also gives the motorcycle an immobilizer function, ideal for leaving your motorcycle alone for a few minutes. Other changes involve the heightening of the rider's seat by 30mm plus some cosmetic changes.
