Well the Hyosung I got was a piece; that's about all I can say about that.

I read the previous posts about the engine shutting off while driving. I had the same problem, the problem is from the emergency kick stand shut off switch, it's loose. When you are driving reaching the higher rpm's, it gets vibrated and thinks the kick stand went down and shuts off the bike, and when you stop and put the bike back in neutral, it will start again.. go figure.

Plus they get an over heating problem... that will never end... I have been fighting with it for a while, it's got to do with the fan quiting. Best that I can figure is the heat sensor will not trip in time... you can install a by-pass switch real cheap. I have modded other parts of the cooling system to help manage, it's almost under control, but the bike is a piece of garbage...

The bike would be fun if all the problems from factory are fixed when you buy the bike. It's a great bike to transition to a super bike. It can pull a wheelie first 2 gears, lots of fun, but so many problems.

Nothing at all. I am a ASE certified mechanic and I have worked on any and all motorcycles, and the Hyosung GT650r is the easiest bike that I have ever had to work on. Four bolts will take just about anything off this bike, which I love.

This bike is amazing all around for the price. It doesn't handle like my 2007 Suzuki GSXR 750, and it doesn't accelerate as fast as my 2005 Yamaha R1, but I only paid $6988.18 for this bike, and after a few bolt on and custom parts, I already have this bike running low 11s in a quarter mile.

A little spare change, research, and a little imagination will get you a long way with this motorcycle.

I bought the bike new at a dealership. There was rust in the gas tank, which they quickly replaced under the two year unlimited warranty. The warranty is actually very nice, and Hyosung makes sure that all their bikes have them. The dealer/repair people I go to are great and friendly, it's just that they are about an hour away from where I live, so that is kind of a hassle.

The only other thing that went wrong was the clutch cable. When I first got the bike, I noticed it was way too hard to pull in the clutch; it was like a mini hand work out every time I shifted gears. The wire was fraying and catching when I would pull the gear in. I had to pay to get that replaced, but I'm sure it was under $50 to do so.

I LOVE this bike. It's not as expensive as a Honda or Suzuki, but it looks better and performs at the same level. I broke in the bike properly and was sure not to go over certain rpm's until I had hit the mileage specified in the manual.

The only annoying thing is someone is always asking me who makes the bike... cause it looks so nice ;)

After the dealership serviced it, it had a stalling problem and began to knock. I trailered it back the next day. Was told it was fine, but the engine locked up in the shop and was replaced, and they forgot to fully reassemble it. 5 months in and out of the shop.

Now it will not start and the dealership is no help. I'm still waiting for Hyosung to call me back.

But it does look good sitting in the garage.
