There were talks of this bike coming to India in March, later on it slipped a month or two and now after a few days of delay, GT250R would be getting launched on 13^th of June. This was confirmed by DSK officials during the unveiling of DSK’s foray into the two-wheeler segment and its partnership with Hyosung replacing Garware Motors.

• GT250R was initially planned to be launched on 7^th of June but possibly due to this internal change of guards and partners the official unveiling was shifted by 1 week.
• GT250R is Hyosung’s smallest bike in India and possibly the most awaited one from their stables as well.
• GT250R would compete with Honda CBR250R and Kawasaki Ninja 250R in the 250cc segment in India.
• Though there is no official disclosure of its price but the bike is expected to come around the Rs 2.5 lakhs region until DSK plans to pull up a surprise (we expect!).
• GT250R would be brought in CKD (Completely Knocked Down) units and assembled at company’s Wai plant.
• At a later stage, DSK plans to create a proper manufacturing plant and increase localization in turn causing the effective prices of all its motorcycles to go down to become more competitive in the market.
