Bob I agree the Vulcans are nice. But you have to stop basing opinions on second and thrid hand information you have to get out and ride stuff.. I have taken the Hoysung out for rides and helped a local kid work on his .. They are nice stable machines reflecting what seems to be the general Korean philosophy of Let someone pay the RD for the technology and market a stable platform at a reduced price. They are not a Ducati they are not yet a Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki or Suzuki, They are an inexpensive realible machine that seems to utilize 3 to 5 year old technology. As far as how they look I like the look of the 250 Cruisers. I rode one a few years ago when I weighed 365 lbs. It had no difficulty toting my lardy ass around at highway speeds. ( I have since lost 130lbs) I was considering buying it for my daughter. As it happens I stumbled across a creampuff VN750 so thats what she got.
Visually though every thing is very personal I think the 999 is the best looking bike Ducati ever made, I think my Gl1800 looks like a Harley got raped by a UFO (love the bike despite its look) and I am currently lusting after a Ural.
