I've ridden (test rode) the Suzuki SV650 & the 'S' model (their geared differently), like the 'S' better, and you really have to wring their necks to get em going, but thats wots so much fun with them, they handle pretty well in the twistes where out right mumbo doesn't matter. So I figure that the Hyosungs would be a long that line, for the price though, you can adds some simple & not very expensive mods to bring em up to spec. A lot of guys around here also put after market pipes on them & they at least sound good. Really though, I think that they will eventually do their own R&D as the money & feed back start flowing back to the company & they will improve on them anyways, The 1000 should be a goer if its anything like the Suzuki donk.

 

There not that bad looking I get one, wait a second, I would just keep what I have now.
