HYOSUNG ST7 (2016-Present) 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 2016, the South Korean motorcycle maker released the Hyosung ST7, a power cruiser presented at the 2010 Intermot as the Hyosung ST700i. The bike packed a V-twin engine, a low-slung seat, a twin chromed exhaust system, and a pulled-back handlebar.

In the visual department, the motorcycle packed features such as a round headlight up front, a wide, pulled-back handlebar, a two-piece dual seat, a dual exhaust system, and multi-spoke alloy wheels.

The bike was made around a double-pipe steel frame, with a 41 mm traditional telescopic fork on the front and dual preload-adjustable side-mounted shocks on the rear acting as suspension.

The braking power was achieved by two 300 mm brake rotors mounted on the 16-inch front wheel and a 230 mm brake disc mounted on the 15-inch rear wheel, offering excellent stopping power.

In the performance department, the 2016 Hyosung ST7 had installed a 678cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine at its core, delivering an output power of 63 hp with a peak force at 8,250 rpm and 58 Nm (43 lb-ft) torque at 7,500 rpm.

The bike's engine was fed by a fuel injection system and assisted by a six-speed manual transmission with a final belt drive gearing the rear wheel.
