Is this for real?

And when you click the X instead to dispatch the dialog it lets you in anyway. I am going to sue the bastard.
And if Ho-sung can't privide accurate information I wouldn't buy one of their bikes anyway.

[Mouse]

Hay thanks all for the great welcome and thanks all for the feedback on the Hyosung GT650R. I will take one for a test ride:ride: in the weekend and make up my mind .Ill let use all now how I get on . Thanks again for the great welcome

Hi there mouse, one of my mates has its little brother the GT250R, it goes bloody well, and he's managed to get it up to its top speed. the basic jist is that if you get the baffles removed from the exhaust and have the limiting cable on the engine disconected they go even better.
And there looks definately mean that people stop and have a look at it when its parked. cause they can't see something going as quick as they can.

<shameless plug> I know where there is a gsx6f for sale.............. <shameless plug>

I have had a couple of looks at those hyosung and I cant see much wrong with them to be honest. They look nice enough. You will have to get out there with us. This weekend sounds like a good ticket.

One of my mates has the gt250r. they can definately go faster then 170, and there are definately some things you can do to them to make them get there quicker, see the guys down at Mt. Eden motercycles, they know all the stuff.

Where are we going Cowboyz

[Colapop]

Not to try and discourage you but there was a member here that had a whole heap of trouble with his that he bought new and Hyosung weren't very helpful at all. They basically left it to the dealer to take care of things even though the bike was still under warranty. That kinda talk about about a bike really steers me away from it for a start. They 'look' good though - if that's what ya want (a bike to look at)

Looks like the ER6F, the faired version of the 'N' 650 twin, isn't it? If the writeups are correct it should be the bees knees for NZ roads.:sunny:

n Europe the bike is sold as the ER6f, or the "naked" version simply called the ER6N. The colour schemes on the Euro version of the full faired 650 are slightly different, with a full silver fairing and champagne frame available. The Euro colours are also the standard in the other export countries such as Australia and Canada.
