No to the gas tank to the gas tank cause a tank bag is gonna be hard to put on. Also the end points and when I lean forward I dont want to be stabbed.
No to the back of the seat. When I get into things I push my butt back. I dont need to shoot an *** rocket out while I'm riding.

RE: American sportbike
Why has anyone not said anything about not being able to take a passenger? I have the seat cowl on mine but when my girl wants to go just snap it on but that bike has a hole there so you are solo. The styling is so so it looks aggresive but a bit overdone and with a Hyosung engine I wouldn't look twice at purchasing. I do however would like an american company to do good in business and create american jobs so if it is a good product it will sell.

Hyosung makes Suzukis motors..

Would buy a American-built sports bike, if the quality, performance and pricing was equal to what we have all grown accustomed to.
Sorry not trying to thread jack here but
They have been in a custody battle. From what I understand over the rights to the 1000 cc inline 4 I could care less whether it's a Hyosung or Fischer would love to see someone put out a liter bike under 11 grand. There was a thread running over at their forum from one of their US reps who claims the update ninja 250 was a direct result of Hyosung sticking with its low-priced 250 with better styling, which supposedly pushed Kawasaki into updating the ninja. Not looking for any better styled liter bikes. But maybe a price matching war
BTW.
Haven't heard too many good things about their 250 but their 650 has a very strong following in places like Australia and have gotten good reviews their. What I have read here reminds me of consumer reports, reviews on American-built automobiles versus Japanese quality and in my opinion they were always biased
