[Mike on the Rock]

At the last EICMA 2009, the most popular model ST7 was the traditional cruiser motorcycle which is more perfect for long distance cruising than the sports cruiser Aquila 650.

The name ST7 is derived from the initials of ‘SUPER & TOP’, ‘SAFETY TRAVEL’, ‘SATISFACTORY TOUR’, ‘700cc engine solely developed by S&T Motors R&D departments’ and ‘symbol of lucky’. So the ST7 represents safe travel, and that is what brings lucky driving to you. And the ST7 is stresses the best performance and top quality in its class.

ST7 has the unique appeal of a mixed classical and sports style. Installed is a DHOC 8valve 90° V-TWIN engine with expanded displacement from 650cc to 700cc. This gives impressive low and mid-range performance fit into the theme of tour/cruising.

The frame of a traditional cruiser will give a comfortable riding position, neutral handling with a powerful engine.

Twin muffler, multiple LCD meter on fuel tank (17L), clear lens multi reflector headlamps, LED etc gives ST7 a combined style of modern functionality with a classical image.

ST7 will be released and will begin exporting at the end of January. There are two type of models; Standard and Deluxe (Deluxe comes installed with full accessories), and both come in black, red and white color.

The Questions....
1. The price??? With H.D. in bad shape Just how low is there bottem line on say the 883?
2. Relibality??? hope thay worked the buggs out before coming to market... After the debockle with the GV 650s
3. Is it too late? After many delays and much speculation, Is this the best thay could do???

Lets face the facts, Hyosung has sat on the fence about this project. I am quite sure this was the last thing thay really wanted to do was introduce a new line of bikes.
The name seams to have been an after thought. I mean really guys ST7 is that the best your minds could come up with??
On a personal note. Love the look. But weve seen this look before. The GV 250. Not a bad idea. Like the rear fender luvers. The cut out in the tail light. The large head light The new wheels look cool as hell. The rear disk brakes should help stop the bike also looks like the Ft Disk is larger and offers a larger brake serface,,, A real good idea. Also I can see a hole line of chin spoilers made just for this bike. One thing I dont like right off is the UGLY Ass Mirrows. But if it preforms like the GV 250s I can see good things for the New GV 700.

Looks like the ignition has been moved to a good spot.

For a nanosecond I thought/hoped that ST might stand for sports tourer..sadly not...why not add 'Slow Turning' to the Engrish name concepts..YUK!
