With the Indian biking segment getting more and more fierce , the two wheeler market is opening up to performance oriented machines .The reason this segment is gaining momentum is because it has been received well among both motorcycle enthusiasts .Recently we had the launch of KTM Duke 200 to spice up the 250cc battle and now its the DSK-Hyosung joint venture.

The super-bike has been modified for the Indian roads in order to get the ARAI certification. Noise reduction, saree guard inclusion and other changes have been made to get the certification done.The bike looks very much similar to the GT650R just that the specifications change, so the exteriors remain the same but its totally a different body inside

The pricing range seems to be a concern here. I had visited the Garware motors showroom, pune last week & was told that the GT250r will be placed between 2.5 to 3 lakhs…I'm pretty much sure that guyz will go for Ninja250 at the same price!!!
