I have yet to meet an owner of a modern day Hyundai that have had any trouble with their cars, same with Kia and both have great warranties as well. Hyundai actually has a few models that I would drive, they come a long way since that shit Rodney King was driving back in the day

Hahahahahhaa. Fuck I'm dying here laughing.

For most people a car that can get 100,000 miles is all they need. Economic downturn or not people have got to get a new car.

Just looked at the website........Hyosung 650R dry weight 451 lbs.......that's almost 75 lbs more than an SV

We all know that overall Toyota and Honda makes a better car than Hyundai or Kia but not everyone on here has the desire to drive their car to Thirdgen distances and don't need a car that can go 500,000 miles. So for many an option like a decent looking Hyundai that is a little less than Honda is perfect (and why they are selling like crazy).

Plus many people use the SV650 as a beginner bike. In a year or two that SV650 will be up for sale with them taking a hit for a bigger and better bike. That 1500 less in the Hyosung can be a big difference in 2 years. My 1st bike (SecaII) lasted 3 months before I got my CBR F3.

It's a great beginner bike that looks 10x better than many other beginner bikes.

You make an interesting point, Smittie- what kind of resale value is there in a Hyosung 650 (or really any Hyosung)? Maybe a 2-year-old Hyosung is a screaming deal for a beginner bike or playbike. That's assuming, of course, that the reliability is there (and I have no reason to believe it wouldn't be).

I'm guessing resale value is a little less than the SV650 for the Hyo650 and probably close to the same for the Ninja250 vs the Hyo250.

Dependability wise? Well I'd be interested in what the average Hyo/Um owner is. I know a lot of dumbasses who drive a SV650 and use them as wheelie machines and change the oil... Well didn't the bike come with oil?

A Kyo owner may just be a little more disciplined or researched more before they got the bike (after all you do have to look for a Hyo). A Hyo buyer might also be more interested in a fun and economical way to get around. People who I know who bought the SV650 wanted to raise hell.

Would I get one? Probably not. I'm the type of person who will drive something til the wheels fall off so I'd probably shoot for the SV650. But if my gf ever got interested I'd look into a Hyosung (if I wanted a new bike or found a killer deal on a used one).

Why can't the Hyosung owners just speak up and tell us about their own experiences with the bikes?

Oh, we don't have any.

I read that, but there was no closeup to see what the hell that is.

Put simply, I wouldn't own any of their current models.

If they came out with a proven performance machine that looked good and cost less, maybe.
