Diamo put out a press release today to confirm publicly the news we reported in November ’06 that Diamo will import Italjet scooters and the Griffon Motorcycle which is based on the Hyosung GT650 chassis and engine.  There is no mention in the press release that Hyosung builds the Griffon for Italjet.  

I found an interview with Diamo USA president Mathu Solo. Solo mentions that “The Griffon 650 motorcycle could possibly be build at Hyosung in Korea”.  This is a very confusing statement.  I think it most likely will be built in Korea unless Hyosung plans to open a facility in another country.  Unless of course they let Italjet build them.  I am not sure there would be any advantage to this.
