It this all just like the rivalry re Honda/Harley/Suzuki? Is it just bike snobbery or something more specific? (bad parts/badly made etc)
I'm not looking to get one I'm just curious.
Plz no generic "Hyoshit is SHIT purely cause it's shit". Reasons plz kthx.

There's no rivarly between honda/harley/suzuki, harley and suzuki just want you to think there is so you'll also think their bikes are almost as good.
Hyoshit used standard Korean production materials and QC (or lack thereof) when they first came out. I think they have got better since though. For reliability and performance, you're probably better off with a 10 year old jap (or 15 if it is a honda) bike than a new hyoshit.

That is enough evidence, all by itself.

They were shit when they first started coming into the country.
They've come a long way since then.
Much the same as Hyundai.

Because they're new to producing bike (within last 10 years), they're still working on quality control issues. Particularly in the early models, things like the digital speedo cluser were prone to shorting and exploding. Nuts and bolts not being tightened properly, things rusting.Originally Posted by Lozza2442
They're much much better nowadays, but they still have a lot of refining to do. Hyosungs 650 is based off of Suzukis SV650. They even produced them for suzuki for a number of years. But if you ride an SV650 and then jump on a hyosung 650, the difference in quality and refinement is pretty clear. That's not to say the Hyosungs are bad. Considering the short time they've been doing proper motorcycles, they're actually doing quite well. They just haven't reached the 50 years of experience the big jappa companies have.
That, and the 250 hyosungs are FAAAARKIN heavy underpowered fuckin things with a turning radius of the moon. Hyosungs getting there though.

that's a generous way of saying they didn't bother with any

I ask you this. When was the last time a Homoda won a production based, NZ National Road racing championship? I could be wrong but I reckon 10 years ago almost with an angry, short, ginga hangin off the tiller.
Suzuki is where it's at, no fucking question.

Hate to tell you this but Google been around while

That's all well and good, but it's much more fun to ask you lot and watch the debates unfurl. I'd rather watch abuse than trawl through pages and pages of posts.

that doesn't look like Bros 650

For me it was price. Since getting 6f I have been looking to upgrade from the hyo gv250 but cannot find anything that looks as good as the gv around the 400cc-600cc, 2004 onwards range for the same money.
I get spare parts direct from Korea and got a recent service that included valve clearances for $277 incl (not incl parts as I import what I can)
If your budget is tight (sub 4k) and u want an upgrade from a sub 250 to a 250 and on a 6l or 6r, then I would recommend a gv250. if u worried about the hyo stigma, u can always take the decals off
