The wait is almost over. Garware Motors is going to launch Hyosung GT250R and GT250N bikes in May this year. Previously they planned to launch these motorcycles this March 2012, but they postponed the launch to see the changes made by the Indian Government in the upcoming budget.

The Indian market is already seeing a surge in popularity as far as cruiser bikes are concerned. The reason for this surge is primarily the young population of India who are looking for more bikes like this. With these launches Garware Motors is planning to penetrate the Indian Market in a big way. They are hoping that these two new launches would get a good response from the customers, especially the youth.
