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.
Some say that he submitted a $20000 expense claim for some gravel

And that if he'd write a letter of condolance he would at least spell your name right.

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.
