    I'm also bald, fat and unemployed.

    And I ditched HD once they became the ultimate poser accessory.

    No way would I spend that sort of money on one of these. the design is archaic and it just looks like a parts-bin bike, the M50, M90 or Vulcan 900 is light years ahead even with a few K's on. From experience its the electrics you have to watch on the Hyosungs.

    I think it is the brand stigma that would stop most people from buying one. I am thinking that maybe the intended target market here is for people who already own the 25o cc version and want to graduate to bigger cruiser. Otherwise i agree with the fact that most would probably prefer a used low km Suzuki, Honda or Yamaha cruiser or even an HD.

    The same stigma Skoda left us with after those hideous 100/110/120 variants. No wonder Hyo have tried to hide the badge!

    I have the 250 (only until August) when I am looking at upgrading to a Boulevard. I have had no major problems with the Hyosung, it was a cheap purchase which has served its purpose well. I thought that spending as little as a learner on a bike as i could would be better in the long run when I upgrade. However, I would not really want to spend 14K on the bigger Hyosung. I would rather put that sort of money to a Suzuki.

    he probably means ones that dont grenade their entire electrical system spontaneously before they have reached 10k on the clock, or ones that dont begin to show signs of frame rust when they are only 5 years (or less) old, or ones that dont break down as often as britney spears.

    Fine, maybe Hyosung can make a reasonable bike - but they have marketed themselves (in NZ at least, cant speak for other countries) as a manufacturer that make base-model entry type bikes on a budget. they are of lesser overall quality than the big four, or aprilia, bmw, etc etc etc, but they also come with a lower price.

    They have yet to produce anything of the same price/quality to the level that other manufacturers are. and trying to take on the boulevard is, in my opinion, stupidity. massively popular, good name for reliability, pretty good sales, lots of aftermarket goodies, good resale and a wide range of model variances available are all things the boulevard has going for it that the hyosung does not.

    they should work on improving the model range they currently have, their 2008 GT650R is heavier, has a wider turning circle, and worse handling that my old 21 year old 600.
    Improving the current range and bringing it up to the level of the main manufacturers would be a better way to attack a higher-priced market IMO.

    of course, these sentiments might not relate to other countries, and I hardly think any company is going to model their marketing and production based on the NZ experience. . .

    Would you test ride a bigger Hyosung as well before making your mind up?

    Yep I would, although I have set my mind on the Boulevard I will test ride other makes before making my final choice. That will also include sport tourers as well as cruisers.
    The GV250 is my very first bike and it has helped me in gaining confidence and skills. The next challenge is to find a bigger bike that suits me and my skills.
    Personally I feel the price will always be a factor and I feel that the amount they are asking for the ST7 is a little high. But as they say "opinions vary".

    Looks like you can get a brand new one for 10k dollars:

    It's basically a copy of a Suzuki M-series bike, isn't it? Suzuki and Hyosung are partners...

    That's the old ST7 (2011 model), I assume the Stuff article in the OP was about a new one.

    The ST7 makes a good 20% more power.

    Not exactly, Hyosung Motors produced the Motors for the SV for a while then I think Suzuki moved back to their own factories, and Hyo built the GT..

    Although Did you know one of Hyosungs China based Factories produce the PET bottles for Coca cola?
