Quote from: CaffeineI looked at a Comet 650 with a friend earlier this year.  I did some Googling.   "Weak brakes" was the most frequent comment I came across.  The engine is based on a Suzuki, but not quite a Suzuki.   The dealer that had the bike offered it for "$3000 out the door."  For that money, I think it might have been worth it, figuring I could have rode it for a couple of years and still got $1000 back out of it.  $5999?  No way.  Maybe one "plus" would be that no self-respecting thief would steal it.  :dunno:    Hyosung also makes a large number of parts for Hyundai, if that's worth anything.

Which dealer. I have a friend that is thinking of one (after I suggested to him when he crashed his SV and the ins co said its depreciated to 3200 - OK its an 01 I believe ... he still arguing with them, but unlikely he get more than 3500) Yea he may quit riding too ... he's stoopid.

I think the GT650R is a sweet looking bike.  I like the lines and the flow of the fairing.


I like the gv650.  Can you say baby Vrod.

srinath, your wife is cool for running at 100+   :mrgreen:

Yea she's a regular speed freak ... she'd constantly mess with Boxters and other little cars ... mainly in traffic with our F 150 ... and pretty much like if they have to look up and see the under side of our truck I'd say they in trouble ... The only problem is the truck runs out of steam at ~65 or so, and its great at low speed and sucks above 30-40 ... but in traffic its under 30-40.
Cool.
