Check out this bike.  The Koreans may be on the right track here.  I'm not real big on cruisers, but I'm drooling!

First off, I liked them both, especially the retro.  The first bike is such a V-Rod rip off.  I don't really like the V-Rod.

The final measure of any rider's skill is the inverse ratio of his preferred Traveling Speed to the number of bad scars on his body. It is that simple: If you ride fast and crash, you are a bad rider. And if you are a bad rider, you should not ride motorcycles.

Yeah here in the metropolis of Statesboro, we actually had a Hyosung 650 comet at a dealership, which as best I can tell was the naked version of the gt650r.  They make good looking bikes, but I'm not sure I'm willing to buy the Kia of motorbikes.

yeah, they are the kia of bikes indeed, but i find myself very strongly drawn to that GT650R. i like it sooo much more than the SV650S that is a clone of.

If / when they come to the U.S. i will buy one. probably my first non used bike.

i also like pioneering bad ideas (have you seen my bike?) and have an incrediable tollerance towards odd machinery.

i'm as giddy as a little school girl. i want one. (the bike, not the little school girl)
