    Hyosung GV650

    Yes, its a Hyosung.

    Just picked it up.
    Gotta say, this bike FITS me! I'm 6ft2, and 110ish kg. And its effortless.
    Comfy position. Lots of torque.

    Drawback - needs new handgrips. They're really small!

    And brand new tyres are scary in the wet

    More to come as I ride it.

    Congrats on the new ride.

    I say the same about my bike and wonder how shorter people ride them.

    Have fun and take it easy on those new tyres.

    Wow you bought a brand new one? I'd buy one, but new price is a little steep. I guess the alternative is much more.

    Handgrips - get heated grips fitted. Much fatter, and, ah yeah they're heated.

    Tyres, bridgestone battleaxe ? They are yuck, so wear them out over the summer and put some nice michelins on it. Yum.

    Congrats! Nice bike. If you are up this way drop by - we have a shed full of hyos.
