Hyosung will win the AMA National Championship next year. DMG is re-writing the rules so that they can race their 650 and all the Japanese factories have to race 49cc pocketbikes.

Well, I'm rooting for them. I love to see competition.
I love hose people laugh at them and they're riding a jap bike that was made fun of in the day. If it wasnt for insurance, I'd have a lot more bikes and the 650R would be one. |

I'm curious to see how their 250 v twins run. I wonder if the dealer here lets people demo their bikes. I'm wondering why the seat height is so high though for a 250? Its over 32 inches!

For giggles 2 years ago I spent about an Hour on one of their 650 Cruisers. It was a nice riding machine. They seem to use the same plan as Kia. Use older proven technology, limit R&D cost and pass the saving to the Customer. As noted above good to see the competition

I can see no advantage to owning a Hyosung except for the low cost. If that's what attracts you to them, cool, but otherwise I don't see the appeal. They are heavy and lower quality.

Most big sportbikes are only 31". That is nuts.

When you buy an SV650, you aren't just buying a bike. You're also buying huge aftermarket support, a great forum at svrider.com, and every engine/suspension guy knows the bike well. Does the GT650R have any of that?
