Title: Hyosung good or crap?
Post by: knowles on April 28, 2012, 01:16:34 AM
I have seen these bikes on cl quite a bit just wondering if people have ridden them or have first hand knowledge on them.

I nearly bought the 250 naked, it rode nicely for a 250, nice equipment on them usd forks, fuel gauge, later ones are efi. But my mechanic says the bolts are cheap and prone to snapping.

General opinion in Oz is the latter.

Ok question answerd, i guess they're junk, saw one on cl an 07 with 27 miles at a dealership they wanted $3300 or so, it was the 650. not bad looking but if it would just break all the time not really worth it.

I wouldn't necessarily say crap but considering you can get a tried and true SV650 for the same price...

I would say Hyosung is what Hyandai is to the car world.  They started off pretty crap but get the quality gets better as they go along. I can see Hyosung making some cheaper quality bikes in the future. They already supply engine parts to Suzuki.
