| I purchased this bike in South Korea and I was definitely surprised by it's performance. The DOHC 125cc was smooth and quiet; unlike the Daelim counterpart. Hyosung ventured off into the DOHC V-twin expecting results and I am definitely feeling those results. No problems uphill even with my wife on the back. The chain guard could have been more extensive but that's my only complaint. I am definitely going to get a Hyosung when I get back to Canada. |

| I just bought this bike new for $2000 (US) as a fuel saver. I could not be more impressed with a 250 in a land of 1100cc +! Everyone here is going for the rice burning crotch rockets. For NORMAL rides I can keep up with my brother (Suz. 1200 Bandit), father (BMW 1100R) and uncle (VROD). Now, open road I see tailights fading into the distance, but I can easily catch up when they stop at the fuel pump. Hyosung/ Alphasports are not well known in the US and I get plenty of scrunched forheads and inquisitive smiles as they admire that cute little red thing between my knees. I think Hysoung is going to give a good account of itself in the US. |

I've had my GT 650R for 4 months now, & have done 6000 km on her. She goes well, I have had her up to 210 km indicated, and cruise to my office 120 km away from home comfortably at 160 km/h (100 mph) without trying. Cornering, I run out of courage long before she runs out of grip - the Bridgestones stick like glue and even when you are on the edge of the tread, she's as sure-footedly as the proverbial mounatin goat. Whilst I haven't got her onto a racetrack yet, playing on mountain passes, she's all over the big-bang bikes like a nasty rash. I love her spread of power [60kW], pulling from 3500, and really taking off at 7500, hurling herself like a madthing at the 11000 rpm redline. She has a gorgeous growl & snarl from the(aftermarket) exhaust and this with her predatory looks earned her the nickname 'Black Dragon'. I have heard reviewers complain of them 'shaking their heads' but never experienced this. Feel on the front is always positive, and she holds her cornering line well. Even changing line mid-corner she takes without grumble. She is a delight to ride. So why only 6 stars?
After 5000 km the back disc is so ridged, it has to be replaced.
The tank gauge misreads. I ended up running out of fuel when my gauge said 1/4 tank left, 3 miles from the nearest garage. Gosh, how I laughed. She arrived on day 1 with the tacky stick-on screen motif peeling off, and a sweating front fork seal. She's in the garage today, and we are changing the front fork oil to improve rebound & setting preload. We are also changing the discs from the factory issued ones bought in down-town Seoul, which are just crap, to Ferodo. The LCD speedo is really hard to read in direct light (gimme an analogue anyday) and the front brakes should be adjustable. Locks are loose, and things rattle. The headlight does not give a good spread of light - its patchy and uneven. I will trade her in before my guarantee expires, and will not be buying a new one unless things change noticeably this year regarding build quality, which is poor and whilst they are new to this building bikes lark, Hyosung seriously need to address this issue if they ever want to escape being seen as a poor man's Suzuki.
That aside, she goes like the wind and is a real, red blooded animal that is a delight to ride. I love every trip and look forward to it. |
