Anybody track daying or racing a Hyosung GT650?

[BoristheBiter]

Is that on the short track configuration?

My K2 thou used to leap sideways coming round there every lap. No matter what I did, it still stepped out. Wasn't the white line for me though, used to happen half way accross the track.

Yes, track 2.

Yeah some nasty bumps hard on the inside there as well. Thankfully the white lines for the grid spots did not seem anywhere near as slippery.

Those SV650s can get around fairly quickly so I would imagine a hyosung would do ok until it fell apart.

There is lots of rubber over them how so not as bad as they used to be, but still not good on a cold day.

I will only be doing the ART day on the Hyobag. Thats being fixed so my girl can use it when she is able.

I would be on the fastest 900 Hornet in the world.

Well the world of my driveway at least.

If you want to splash out a bit, there's a YSS shock available for the GT650, gives you far more adjustment than the stock one offers.

i think the GSXR ones fit.

For what it's worth...Geoff Cain raced one in ChCh a few years back - until it broke i think..

And Brian Barnard was building one too. Don't know if it ever got finished - or saw a track.

Maybe so, but the YSS shock is DESIGNED as a correct fit and upgrade to the stock one.

If I want to spend $900 on a rear shock for a Hyosung then I will get an Ohlins. I used a Busa shock in my old 1200 Bandit with some success. GSXR shocks are cheap.

Did it go bang or tumble down the track.

No idea - I just stopped seeing it. If he's at the CAMS meeting on Sat I'll ask - if I remember....

Jay Lawerence did a national season on one in Protwins ~3rd place ish most rounds. Not sure of final result.

Tyler and Ryan Firn race them, they are well supported by Hyosung NZ. I.e Fergus etc
