I finally got the bike in today and I love it!  It will be a tight garage for awhile.  Maybe I should just clean up a little. :dunno_white:





And one of the gs just because



Not bad for a rattle can paint job on the gs huh...

Nice, nice and nice!

It doesn't look like a rattlecan paint job at all!
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

I was actually quite impressed with the paint myself.  It is a newer paint made by the rustoleum company and the finish is pretty good.  However, if you get a closer look at the top of the tank you can see some splatter.  The trade offs of using a can instead of a decent gun.

Congrads on the new bike.  How is the Hyosung compare with GS?

A comparison between the hyosung and the gs would simply be a long list of differences.  The biggest of which is hard to describe.  I guess that it has something to do with the manuerverability of the gs compared to the stability of the gt650r.  So far I have absolutely no gripes other than than the fact that the exhaust note is so muffled.  They sound incredible opened up.  Here is a clip of one.

The exhaust sounds great.  It's a huge difference comparing yours to my stock GS exhaust. :-)

Have fun on the new bike!

Having seen the rattlecan work in person I can tell you it's one of the few I've ever seen propperly applied.  It looks nothing like rattlecan work.

I'm gonna try and get out there sometime this week and check the GT out, man...and grab that heat shield...
