Fischer MRX650

A few years back there were reports that a US company planned to manufacture a US sportsbike using the engine from the Hyosung GT650 series. Well, they're now in full production! You can see all the details here:

Even better, they have an Australian based company. Here's where you'll find the Aussie company:

AUD $13,995 makes for one very expensive Hyosung.

Swingarm is a bit curious. As is the tail end. And the choice of engine. Dry weight of 175kg isn't bad, but it certainly isn't light given the size of the engine. And the tank looks about as comfortable as a hernia.

And the way they call it the only American sports motorcycle is a bit off.

I think it would be interesting to see one in person.

Look here's one we prepared earlier and it's cheaper.

Looks a little like a mini-TL1000R.

Notice not EFI either.

As Poo's says, I thought Hyosung GT650's use a carb'd Suzuki SV650 engine........

Hyo is injected these days.
I too was under the impression it was the SV's engine...

Toy for pro-twins maybe? heh

Well you are both wrong. There's quite a difference between the Hyo and suzuki engines.

Pic 1 SV engine
Pic 2 Hyo engine

Wow they look identical don't they. Not

There's no 'Suzuki' in Hyosung.

**codgyoleracer** · 14th July 2010, 09:05

I recognise the one on the left..............

My bad. A bit of dodgy research points to: Hyosung used to make parts under license for Suzuki and the engineer used to work for Suzuki. The architecture is quite similar but they are different, contrary to popular rumour.

Kinda funny, I used to think if it had an SV donk it can't be tooooo bad....looks like I might have to reconsider.....

Snob. Suzuki's aint that great especially when you're talking a budget bike like the SV.
