Happy Times at Hyosung
Korean motorcycle brand Hyosung continued to provide Australian riders with great value quality motorcycles and registered 5.1% growth in 2008 over 2007. Hyosung continues to hold their number 7 position in the Road bike segment only surpassed by the big 4 Japanese brands, Harley-Davidson and Triumph.
Hyosungs speciality is in the entry level of the market with a range of 250cc road bikes plus 650cc models all of which can be purchased compliant with the LAMs (Learner Approved Motorcycle scheme) now law in all states except WA and QLD. A bonus with Hyosungs LAMs approved models is that their power output can be uncapped once the owner has completed their probationary period and they are permitted to ride a full power motorcycle. It’s like getting two motorcycles for the price of one.
“Our owners are pretty straight forward when they tell us why they chose Hyosung. They look great, they’re well priced and you get a lot for your money”, said Hyosung Australia Brand Manager; Simon Gloyne.
“We have a very positive outlook for the year ahead also. During the recession that we had to have, motorcycle growth was kick-started and we enjoyed growth into the next two decades. New licence bookings haven’t waned and this is a good indication that people still need to get around, but they want to find a cheaper way to do it. The enjoyment of riding a motorcycle is a bonus.
