Hyosung was actually a company under Suzuki's control for a while. They split off with their own derivatives of a few Suzuki bikes. The GS650 uses the SV motor, too, just a few other different (lower quality) components to let the price drop.
Then you have the GT250, which is sorta like the GS500 with USD forks, a 150 rear tire on a 4.5 inch rim (I think), bolt-on passenger peg brackets, and a 250cc 4-valve-per V-Twin making ~27.5 HP and 21TQ.
They're making some cute little cruisers, too.

Yeah and from what i can gather they have been around longer than i though, just not here in the states
Definitely looks better than an SV. One of the biggest reason I'm not upgrading to an SV are the dated looks.
You're riding a GS E, and the SV looks dated to you? Huh? :cookoo: :icon_mrgreen:
i gotta friend who is gonna be racing one of these this season...
his teammate is running a 2000 sv650 as welll...
it should be an interesting season to say the least...
I can see the SV roots. Pretty damn identical. The overall shape of the fairing is better, but the SVs headlights are cooler.
And at the end of the day, it is still a Hyosung.
If I had my choice, I'd still take the SV. But I do wish the SV had upside down forks.
