Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) September 30, 2011 Hyosung Motors America is proud to announce the 2011 Title Factory Sponsorship of Pro Streetbike Freestyle Athlete, Josh Borne. This is the first time Hyosung Motors America has teamed up with the extreme pro-sport of sportbike freestyle.
Borne introduced his new factory sponsored Hyosung GT650, the world's first Hyosung freestyle competition bike, earlier this year at the inaugural 2011 XDL National Sportbike Championships in Daytona, Florida.
"I am so proud to introduce the first factory sponsored Hyosung Motors America competition motorcycles into the streetbike freestyle world," said Borne. "The GT650 and GT650R have so much unseen potential; I am extremely excited to showcase what they are capable of."
Borne debuted the second factory sponsored Hyosung Motors America competition bike, the Hyosung GT650R at the Nashville International Speedway on June 10, 2011. This newest addition is a one-of-a-kind, technologically advanced freestyle drift bike.
Hyosung Motors America, part of the S&T Motors Co., Ltd. (Korea), offers motorcycle enthusiasts innovative technology, superior quality and stylish motorcycles and scooters. With unlimited potential, Hyosung's GT650 and GT650R revolutionize the arena of extreme sportbike freestyle. Featuring a sleek and sporty body, the GT650 gives freestyle an ultra-modern image. The GT650R chassis, fitted with 43mm inverted forks and oval tube frame, increases rigidity to provide better rider control and greater stability. An impressive suspension system absorbs maximum shock, while an enhanced transmission offers smooth and rapid shifting of gears. The cutting-edge design provides ultimate comfort and extreme performance.
"I love the low-end power (of the GT650)....it's a powerhouse! A drift monster," states Borne. "The v-twin engine actually helps balance the bike. It makes it extremely stable for wheelies and acrobatics."
