I searched yahoo for a pic, but I only found this:



and a REALLY nice car:

That bike looks like a sport bike / scooter hybrid.

*shudders at the thought*

I'm not sure how you saw those with all the Skyline pics that must have came up.  The scooter's pretty pimp, though.  But I was talking about this:



He got it for like $4500 out the door brand new.

That GTR is f*ckign AWESOME looking!

I wouldn't know where to get one though.  What are the specs on that?  I'm gonna google it in the meantime.

I love that GTR...I can never find it in that scheme, but the dlr in Amarillo says it's a factory option.

Anyplace that deals in Hyosung bikes, scooters, generators, lawn mowers or weedeaters can get them for ya.

I found their website: http://www.hyosungmotors.com.au/

I didn't see anything that looks like that for that price...

I think this is it...  The GT650R



http://www.hyosungmotors.com.au/gt650r.html


This compact water cooled 90 degree v twin, DOHC 8 valve engine incorporates the latest technology and produces 79 horsepower (approx 70 rear wheel horse power). Designed in Hamamatsu, Japan, it sets a new benchmark in V-twin performance. It has dual Mikuni downdraft carburetors, low restriction stainless steel exhaust, environmentally friendly secondary air intake system, which meets all world standards, including euro 2.



Adjustable footrests compliment the versatile chassis, tailor the ergonomics to suit your body and height. Dual lateral oval bar frame is designed to reduce weight and allow the engine to be carried lower to provide cornering agility comparable to European sports bikes.



Upside down forks compliment the chassis to give nimble handling and safer road holding. Twin front discs and dual twin piston fully floating brake calipers provide incredible stopping power. Fit racing pads and you are ready for the race track! Upside down forks have compression and rebound adjustment, and the rear shock is charged for suspension sophistication not normally available in this price range.



LCD instuments with fuel and temp gauges, clock and dual trip meter. A large 17 litre fuel tank ensures long touring range.



Split left/right fairing design allows cheaper repairs in the event of damage.
(Shown here with tinted windscreen - available as an accessory)



The comet GT650R also has convenience features such as pillion seat, grab rail and heavy duty tie down rails for all your gear for those long trips. The rider's seat is firm in design to provide good support and reduce fatigue. The comet series all incorporate key lock storage compartment under the pillion seat (see GT250 page). Items such as wet weather gear, maps, lunch etc can be stored here, as well as locking helmet security (depending on helmet design).

Keep in mind that THAT is the aussie site...aussie bucks are about 1.4 times as much as real bucks.  Also, it's an '05 he picked up (they stay on the showroom floor forever)...which is why he got it at nearly half the cost of an SV650...

I'm not digging the headlight config.

yeah the headlight's ugly...I'll five that.  I don't really look at the front of my bikes very often.

I'll not that the only new bikes that have spiffy lights anymore are the GSXR's, CBR's, and ZXR's.  Everything else is hideous.
