HYOSUNG GV650SE Special Limited 30th Anniversary Edition (2008-2009) 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.

In 2008, 30 years after the company emerged, the South Korean motorcycle manufacturer introduced the Hyosung GV650SE Special Limited 30thAnniversary Edition, a special edition motorcycle that celebrated 30 years of motorcycle manufacturing.

The company made 1000 units, and each one had been embossed with 30th anniversary xxx out of 1000. The color scheme represented the bike, featuring a Candy Red frame and wheels, complemented by blacked-out components and a few chromed elements.

It was fitted with standard features, such as a round headlight up front, a two-piece dual seat, a two-into-one exhaust system with a blacked-out muffler, a wide, pulled-back handlebar, and three-spoke red-finished aluminum wheels.

The bike had the same suspension system as the standard model, with a 41 mm inverted telescopic fork mounted on the front and dual-side mounted shocks on the rear.

Two 300 mm brake discs clamped by dual-piston calipers on the front and a 270 mm brake disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear achieved the braking performance.

As for the power figures, the 2008 Hyosung Special Limited 30thAnniversary Edition had installed a 647cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine at its core, boasting 72 hp at 9,000 rpm and 66 Nm (49 lb-ft) torque at 7,250 rpm.
