2008 Hyosung GT650R review from United States of America
"This bike will excite a 30 year old veteran rider as well as a first time rider"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
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.
General comments?
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.
