Title: Hyosung cool?
Post by: oppy00 on September 22, 2005, 06:16:54 AM
Check out this bike.  The Koreans may be on the right track here.  I'm not real big on cruisers, but I'm drooling!

Anyway I was supposted to be studying last night and I came across this site, so I figured I'd be nice and share. :cheers:

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.

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)
