Hyosung GT 650N and GT 250R

S&T Motors, the renowned South Korean two wheeler company is speculating to launch Hyosung GT 650N and Hyosung GT 250R soon in Indian two wheeler market.  Prior to this company has successfully launched Hyosung GT 650R and Hyosung ST7 in Indian two wheeler market through its Indian alliance Garware Motors. Hyosung GT 650N will be company’s third offering in Indian market.
Hyosung GT 650N is considered as street version of its elder sibling Hyosung GT 650R and almost carry the same features as adorned in Hyosung GT 650R, namely 647cc, liquid cooled, 8-valve 90° v-twin engine generating maximum power of 72.65bhp @ 9,000 rpm and maximum torque of 60.9 Nm @ 7,250 rpm.  The noticeable difference will be of price and is expected to be priced less than Hyosung GT 650R which costs around Rs 5 lakh. However it is expected that Hyosung GT 650N will be a tough contender for Kawasaki Ninja 650R which is sold with price tag of Rs 4.57 lakh (ex-showroom) price.
Another bike i.e., Hyosung GT 250R adorns 249cc, oil cooled, DOHC 8-valve, 75° V-twin engine churning maximum power of 26.27 bhp @ 10,000 rpm and maximum torque of 21.04Nm @ 6,750 rpm.

Hyosung GT 250R is expected to give tough competitor for Kawasaki Ninja 250R which is also equipped with v-twin engine.

Aprilia Tuono V4R

We love Aprilia's V-Four engine, so we're pleased to see it used in the new Tuono V4R.

Aprilia is on the gas for 2011, giving us several strong possibilities for selection to our list, including the sporty tiddler RS4 125. Parent company Piaggio, like Euro rivals Ducati, Triumph and BMW, continues an unabated stream of new product while Japanese brands are being much more cautious.

Italian sex appeal.

In our selection process for this list, we had some votes for two new versions of the ultra-desirable RSV4 sportbike. If you have to wonder why this is exciting then you may not have paid attention to a) Motorcycle.com and/or b) World Superbike racing this year. Veteran road racer Max Biaggi scored 10 race wins on the way to the 2010 World Superbike Championship and the Manufacturer's title at the helm of an RSV4. And earlier this year we picked the RSV4 Factory as the winner of the first part of our 2010 Superbike Shootout.
Now comes the APRC SE version to sweeten the RSV4 Factory pot with the addition of traction control, wheelie control, launch control and a quick shifter, which you can find out more from our Euro correspondent’s First Ride review. Aprilia went and made one of our favorite literbikes of all time even better! It will retail for $22,499 when it arrives on our shores mid-2011. And if you really have extra coin burning a hole in your pocket and you must ride like Max, Aprilia offers a WSBK-spec, 200 hp race-ready Biaggi Replica for the paltry sum of $64,000.
Yet it’s the new Tuono V4R that really gets out blood pumping. The previous version with its liter-sized V-Twin is one of our all-time favorite nakeds, with a composed chassis, edgy Italian styling, and all-day-comfy ergos. Aprilia has now graced the Tuono with a retuned version of the compact but potent V-4 powering the RSV4, rated at an exciting 162 crankshaft horsepower. The V4R Tuono will also be available with the APRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control) package that uses gyros and accelerometers to control traction, wheelies and launches.
“Although it’s just a paper lion at the moment,” Pete comments, “the all-new Tuono V4R has me salivating like no other new bike announced for the coming season.” Unfortunately, the V4R isn’t scheduled to hit North America until early 2012 at a price still to be determined. You can read more about it here.
