Hi all :)

still thinking to buy hyosung gt650cc 2007, and first of all - it sound like a china crap but looks like it's Korean, What u think about this bike ??? V form engine 650cc sound great but there is not that much Kw like others 650cc

that's me (test ride)

boatdetective:
Probably the wrong place to ask your question.

Personally, with all the phenomenal new product from most manufacturers at very competititve pricing, I don't know why anyone would roll the dice with something from China. If I wouldn't trust their QC with kids toys and pharmaceuticals, I certainly wouldn't bet my neck on a motorcycle. Sorry if this inflames the "China only produces crap because greedy, evil Western companies demand that they do" debate - but you asked for opinions. 

Call me a snob, but just having to tell people I ride a Hyosung, then repeat the name, then spell the name, then tell people it's built in PRC, then tell them that it's actually a lot of bike for the money ad infinatum would drive me nuts.

Seems like the legit Japanese firms have plenty of compelling product at the lower end of the spectrum (yes- and they are made in Thailand. No- I don't have any issue with Thai production lines). 

segesta:
I'd buy a three year old used Japanese bike--and the related dealer networks and parts availability--rather than a brand new Hyosung.

stephenm:
Hyosung bikes are made in South Korea.
Originally, Hyosung produced Suzuki engines under licence for the Korean market.
Since the 1980s, they have produced their own designs.
China is not involved.

redrider:
Hyosung from Korea was the frame maker for Suzuki when square tube frames were da bomb. The similarities with the VStrom show the bloodline. One of our training sites used the 250's briefly. Brake pads falling apart and no factory/dealer support. Ride it for what it is-disposable, like a Bic lighter.
