I've read about the hyosung 650r alot before, I just seen one the other day, its a damn sexy bike I must say. It seems every year their getting better and better reviews too. If I was in the way of buying a new bike I might seriously consider buying one, not that I am, I love my cbr and my cb is going no where, but a very sexy machine, pictures do it no justice

 

they are great until you need parts. i have a friend that bought one and couldn't find anything for parts here. went online and spent a fortune to fix it

 

chinese???

 

We had a few around here but they went the way of the Yugo. Utter crap for the most part. Maybe they've changed recently? I wouldn't want to use my money or person to find out.

 

You said it yourself. Keep the Honda.

 

Korean.

 

If you get one, get an '07 or up. The others had a problem with running lean and burning up valves. There's a few websites of how people fixed the problem.

 

theres a hyosung dealer closer to my house than the honda dealer..lol
wouldnt ride em..they feel cheap

if anything but a honda it would be the triumph 675 daytona..sexy machine right there

 

not my cup of tea. the swingarm looks like you could probably kick it and break it! if i strayed from honda it would be for a Ducati.....thats about it. i havent heard much about those Hyosung bikes though.

 

I think the torque of a twin engine could be nice to have. But I'm still a little wary of the Korean nameplates. I would look at a Ninja 650 or Suzuki SV first.
