The Background of Hyosung
The Hyosung company Motorcycles were started around the late seventies as the motorcycle department created by the The company Group of companies. The Hyosung Group operates as a huge South Korean group of companies with sections that include everything from building all the way to financial services. Hyosung initiated creating Japanese Suzuki motorbike designs under license from Suzuki Motorcycles for the Korean market in the city of Changwon, South Korea in the late 1970s. Around 1986, Hyosung established their own research and development center in Hamamatsu, Japan, and the next year, hyosung began mass production of their own designs. Hyosung Motorcycles were the exclusive motorbike provider for the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, The company motorcycles enjoyed a peak in global recognition at this moment. During two thousand and three, Hyosung Motorcycles. was separated from the corporate parent to become a stand-alone company. In Summer 2007, The Hyosung company Motors Division was bought by another South Korean company, S&T Group (Science and Technology), and the name changed to S&T Motors, though most models are still sold under the The company name. S&T Group is the third owner of the The company brand in the last few years.
Today, The Hyosung company motorcycles are offered or have been bought in virtually all countries throughout Canada And America, South and central america, European union, and Australia. The aformentioned is probably the biggest selling countries for The company motorcycles, where the lower displacement motorcycles rank amongst the best selling motorbikes. Though such success is not common, the majority of Hyosung motorbikes experience los sale volumes in most countries where these models are offered under many names, including S&T Motors in South Korea, Naza Blade in Malaysia, United Motors and ATK in the U.S., and Kazinski in Brazil. Hyosung has often been criticized for poor or lack of “branding” for their high-quality motorbikes, which has triggered loads of confusion with customers across the world and has not allowed the Hyosung brand to fully take off. However, financial woes and a few ownership changes through the last few years have left the business to just accept these different branding partnerships in order to survive.
The company’s top selling and succesfulll designs are the Aquila GV250 cruiser, Aquila GV650 cruiser motorbike, GT250R sport bike, and GT650R sport bike, and most recently the ST7 cruiser motorbike. Though the company does produce a few other models, including 50 through 250cc scooters, and 50, 90, and 450cc ATVs. The TE450S Atv has a robust engine and even compares positively to other products in its class. In 2010 S&T Motors updated almost all models to electronic fuel injection as well making some cosmetic touches on the sport bike models. Most The Hyosung company models enjoy a very good level of quality though technology is often a few years back and design changes are few and far in between compared to the top Asian brands such as Suzuki, Kawasaki, Honda, and Yamaha. All models are well priced (below Asian counterparts) in most markets and make excellent and affordable beginner bikes for many The Hyosung company riders worldwide.
