NOT VMX Hoyosung GT650 any good ???

[Mick D]

Don't have a lot of money, but love V-twins
Have been gob smacked for a while just how cheap these things are when they are only a couple of years old.
I think some one said they have Suzuki SV engines, which if so? that is a good thing in my book.

Does anyone know a non sarcastic reason why I should not buy one?

Thx if anyone can advise.

Don't know about them Mick, but if you go and have a look at it, swipe your eftpos card past it and see if it spits out any coin. Hyosung make ATM machines.

My Vstrom 650 at $2800 with 75000 on it is a far better prospect than any hyosung, yep it's even got the same motor http://

some of the babes looked as sweet as.

For $3200 I'll send it up with the plate still on it!  send it back in 6 months!

They aren't a bad thing. Sold a carby one recently with no complaints from the buyer. The injected ones  are easy to live with and don't seem to have any generic faults. Like a Hyundai - the early stuff was pretty basic but the current product isn't nasty!.

Suspensions not much chop and the pads need to be changed to get feel from the brakes. The rest is fine, never see them broken down on the side of the road.

Thanks guys, all stuff that I had no idea off, cheeers

I got a 250x4  for my 16 y/old to ride to school etc. it seems to be really good bike no hassles what so ever. it is fuel injected ,starts on the button and runs sweet..
 It was latest model and new so i would expect it .

[SON]

I sold hundreds of them over 10 years, they are based on the SV but have many differences including bore x stroke
I have one new one left cheap

There are some mixed feelings about the earlier ones if you dig around some of the road bike forums. Mostly praise for the fuel injected, later ones though.

They aren't exactly identical to the SV650 as SON points out, but very similar concept. I had an SV650S and it was a terrific road bike, and if I was looking for something similar on a budget I'd consider one.

OK,,,, you guys, thanks for the heads up on a lot I didn't know 
From what you have told me it will a be fuel injected 650 or nothing, thanks.
I think suspension is one of the most important functions of any bike, thx for the caution Lozza.
There seems to be a hell of a lot of these about, so I imagine there would plenty of after market medicine
  available when needed.

Thanks Son, trouble is a limited budget. Have to save some money for the TBC    
There is one down the road from you 2o13 model, Looks in new condition,
low Ks and he is looking for offers less than $5K ride away. I will drop in or call you though, thanks.

Why the bloody hell would ya buy a Hyosung, name is enough to make ay true blue aussie puke, even while sober,,,,

Drove around the Newcastle beaches on Saturday, Sunday for an hour looking for a park, come home without getting out of the car. Parking cops everywhere and only legal unoccupied spaces are for motorcycles only and lots of em 

Save heaps of money, because I wont have to insure it, Who The F is gunna steal a Hyosung, only brand not on the Aussie Stolen Vehicle Register

Imagine the local Sargent in arms saying to the aspiring noms, Piss off and don't come back until you have got a new Hyosung parts bike for us,,Phissssh,, aint going to happen is it

[SON]

Tell me Mick what are those HyoZukis like to ride?
