AlternativeCruisers.com Comes And Rides The Hyosung ST7
Saturday, July 3rd, 2010The New Hyosung ST7 Arrives!
Sunday, June 6th, 2010
Hyosung’s newest cruiser arrived this past week and it sure took a good chunk out of our showroom! The ST7 is the biggest new bike we sell. It looks like it is significantly larger than that GV650 when set side by side. The ST7 is not really larger than the GV650 when you compare seat height, handlegrip positioning and footpeg placement – the rider details. The ST7 still has the great adjustable footpegs as the GV650 so we can fit just about any inseam – this has been a huge feature for riders of the GV650 and it carries over to the ST7.

But, the rear tire is an 80 series which sits much taller than the low-slung 55 series of the Avitar’s. The passenger seat is very different than the GV650 Avitar. This pillion seat is larger to allow a passenger to spend some quality time there. This large a seat would look out of place on the sporty GV650 but looks right at home on the ST7. The handlebars are mounted on risers which should give the owner some options should they want to swap them out with others. The handlebars are wider than the Avitar’s. The end result is that the ST7 looks bigger to the eye in every dimension yet, like the GV650, can be ridden by just about any size rider!

The motor, with a top-of-the line Delphi fuel-injection system, fires right up and settles into a nice idle. The low-end torque is enhanced by Hyosung’s stroking of the motor and the increased displacement when compared with the higher-revving GV650. It has DOHC – double overhead camshafts (exactly twice as many cams when compared to our competition at Yamaha). These extra cams will let the ST7 breathe better. The ST7 gets underway easily, sounds good with the two into two pipe exhaust and incorporates new with the old via a tank mounted speedometer on the larger (4.75 gallon) fuel tank with both analog and digital data combined. New also joins old at the back of the bike with a bright new LED taillight in a classic housing.
The end result is that MPG Motors can now offer two bikes with two very different personalities: the classic cruiser ST7 and the GV650 performance cruiser. This gives the GV250 owner two distinct options to upgrade and stay in the Hyosung family of products!
