Anybody ridden one of these? Saw quite a few lined up outside the local Kawi dealer.

Think they got the styling spot on except for the name plastered all over it <_<

Kind of a mix between a Duc and a Suzook.

Cheers,

Bryce

They built engines for Suzuki at one stage. Same engine as in this bike. Rides nicely evidentially and is 500 cheaper than the 650S

 
In this month's Cycle World, they do a comparo that includes this. They were surprised that it did as well as it did. A few glitches, but, a decent bike. With no dealer network and, taking the glitches into consideration, I'd rather have the SV.

You're right, though...it doesn't look to bad

I just wonder if the aftermarket will embrace the Korean bikes or will one have to ride a stock bike?

Think i would spend the extra dollars for the SV too, tried and true and plenty of goodies from the aftermarket. Still got the hankerin' for a GSXR750 while I still feeling mentally young :unsure:

I own GT650R version of Hyosung bike.

It's addition for FRJ ment for track days; it's cheaper than FJR if things doesn't go as planed :)

It is fine bike with exeptions to front brakes. They are not good if You ride FJR, Fazer, SV1000 or similar bikes.

We are in the middle of upgrading those brakes to 6 callipers ones and that should do the trick.

Go for it Bryce, and why stop at 750. For one or two large more and about 5 lbs, you can have the litre version. :D

I think it mentioned the transmissions was "a box of rocks" too? Input anyone? It looks a little graphic intensive to me though - like someone threw up on it after eating rainbow sprinkles.
