Hyosung motorcycles taken over

Hyosung motorcycles are set to get an injection of cash after being bought by the S&T Corporation in South Korea.

Although the Hyosung motorcycle brand will continue, the manufacturing company producing Hyosung motorcycles have been renamed S&T Motors Co. Ltd.

There are currently 14 models in the Hyosung range varying from 125cc scooters up to their Hyosung GT650R, and a 1000cc V-twin machine is due in 2008.
