Many things have been written and discussed regarding Hyosung motorcycles, many of which are incorrect and/or misleading.
Hyosungs are rebadged Suzuki's; No: They are a complete and distinct motorcycle whose company history has links with Suzuki for over 20 years.
Hyosungs are made in China; No: They are Korean, who as a nation are becoming one of the worlds largest producers of motor vehicles.
Hyosungs are made from Chinese components; No: Quality materials, components and manufacturing are used throughout.
Hyosung motorcycles as an international brand is born from the technical production skills inherent within Korean industry following years of producing OEM equipment, engines and frames for world leading high street motorcycle manufacturers.
Since 1979 Hyosung has been producing parts and engines for Suzuki in their Korean plant. What follows is a journey of discovery culminating in S&T motors breaking away from the parent Hyosung company to continue production of their own motorcycles. These are now seen throughout the world as offering quality design & manufacture at a reasonable price.
With millions being spent on research and development S&T Motors is planning new models to add to their impressive line-up including a 1,000cc bike and aim to reach the top-five of the world's motorcycle manufacturers.
As you may be able to tell, we are proud of our motorcycles and Hyosung have earned the right to be proud of their heritage. That said, we are a knowledge and friendly bunch that meet regularly both informally and at our annual rally. Come along and join us in our forum or on facebook, we would love to meet you all.
