Garware Motors has just now launched the Hyosung GT650N in Mumbai. The Hyosung GT650N (Naked) is priced at Rs. 4.39 lakhs (ex-showroom, Delhi), which is cheaper than the Kawasaki Ninja 650R by a slight margin. The Hyosung GT650N uses the same 650cc, V-Twin motor that does duty on the GT650R. This engine produces 72 BHP pf power and can reach 100 kmph in around 5.5 seconds. Top speed is around 210 kmph and the GT650N will return 18-20 kmpl. The GT650N is available in three colors namely White, Red and Black.
Garware Motors dealers have started bookings for the Hyosung GT650N. Deliveries of this bike will commence within two weeks. Garware Motors will be launching a 250 cc cruiser, sports and tourer in March, 2012. There are no plans to launch a 125 cc motorcycle in the near future. The company has started building a 25 acres of plant to manufacture Hyosung bikes in Wai, Maharashtra and engine assembly will be started soon. Till last month, Garware Motors sold 300 units of the GT650R and ST7 in India.
“This is the first step to get the full line of Hyosung bikes in India as we committed. We believe that today’s young and mobile Indian has a strong appetite for stylish bikes, and so, we see significant potential for the GT 650N in India. Our aim is to create a strong network that will provide our customers a world-class experience and encourage the affordable super biking segment in India,” Diya Garware, MD, Garware Motors, said.

My friend, GT650N will return 18-20 kmph or kmpl ?
Thanks Kamal, the kmph to kmpl has been corrected.
also previously it is mentioned 72hp but later on its mentioned 82hp in the features. Anyways cant see a reason why a person wont spend some extra and buy a renouned and much better Ninja 650.
Abhishek, this is a proper sports tuned bike & ninja650 is a sports tourer better suited for touring purpose with loads of low end and mid range tourque. both are good in their class.
The bike looks good- only if something different design is adopted for the exhaust and that plastic round the headlamp looks ugly. Well the console needs a change too…it looks downright cheap. Not worth for a 5L bike. Unfortunately the N650 still stands tall.
