HYOSUNG GT650R (2012-2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

Hyosung was a South Korean motorcycle manufacturer founded in 1978. It was a division of the Hyosung Group of Industries. In 1979, Hyosung started manufacturing Japanese Suzuki motorcycle designs.

One of many series Hyosung made was the Comet series, which comprised a range of 125, 250, and 650cc V-twin-powered recreational motorcycles. The GT650 was the naked version, the GT650S was half-faired, and the Gt650R was dressed in a full fairing.

In 2012, the South Korean motorcycle manufacturer released the Hyosung GT650R, the largest displacement model of the range. Compared to its naked and half-fairing siblings, the "R" version featured a full fairing.

The 2012 model year was the ninth consecutive production year, and it packed the same specifications as the previous one without any significant modifications.

It was part of the Comet series, which comprised three motorcycles with three different displacements. The GT650 was the largest of the series and came in naked, half-faired, and fully-faired versions.

The visual department was characterized by features such as a full fairing, a single headlight up front, a medium-sized windscreen, a two-piece dual seat with a passenger grab rail, a two-into-one exhaust system, and six-spoke aluminum wheels.

In the power department, the 2012 Hyosung GT650R had installed a 647cc four-stroke V-twin, liquid-cooled engine that delivered 80 hp at 9,000 rpm and 68 Nm (50 lb-ft) torque at 7,500 rpm.
