Wow. 2004. That is a long time ago. Wish I could remember those olden days.

Well, I've got a 2005 DRZ I'd love to sell you as a "new" bike since you think that way.

What's the better deal- $6K for a new Hyosung 650, or $3500 for an SV that's a couple of years old?

Personally, I think I'd go with the SV. It's a proven bike with a ton of aftermarket support.

Right now I look at the Hyosung the same way I look at cheap Chinese knockoffs- there needs to be a significant price difference to justify me taking the risk. New, a Hyosung and an SV are so close in price that I would just buy the one I know works- the SV (or Gladius, Ninja 650, FZ6, etc).

Hyosung now equals

Hyosung in 10 years could equal

Why?

People said the same thing about Hyundai and KIA.

40 years earlier they said the same about Honda and Toyota.

Im sure every first bike that the jap comps released were just super awesome.

Its called progress. Yes they have been making cheap "mopeds" for years but they are just now getting into bigger bikes. Completely different field.

They use what they can get a hold of. South Korea is a small country with a psyco twin attached to them.

Who are you kidding? kia is still fucking garbage.

I'm amazed nobody has claimed the old "hyosung made the SV motor" yet

And both are pieces of shit IMO.

But I see that no one is touching the comment about Honda and Toyota
