Why the hell would anyone want to pay $9,500US to put a SV1000 engine into a Hyosung??? Just go buy a SV1000s and you'll have a much better bike.

Pfft.

Hyosung will become one of the leading manufacturer's in a matter of 5 - 10 years, faster than any of the jap companies.

Lots of American's are reporting engine problems with the GT 650's but the reality of it is that they put the wrong fuel in (i.e. 95 - 98 octane rather than 91).

I'm aware of one GT 650 racing in Europe and another in the US who are doing very well, there are probably more.

It's a pity that there 250 model lacks power, however, their 125 is capable of 110kmp/h with a weight of around 140kg's (basically a GT 250 frame), pretty impressive if you ask me.

$10k for a top Hyosung 650 engine is the same as a overly worked SV 650, I think - might be wrong - but in my opinion, Hyosung would be the better of the two.

I can't wait to see a Hyo GT 650 in F3 at a national level in NZ ... who wants to give me $20k?

There is also a guy racing one who is in Vic Club... Im loving the 155hp though....

**SwanTiger** · 4th July 2006, 15:07

I reckon they look better than the SV's anyway...

and their semi-faired version of the GT 650 looks better than the SV as well, but nothing beats the fully faired GT 650R.

Interesting.

Stock the GT 650's put out 71 HP at the crank, I imagine the guy is running a stock bike if he is at Club level?

I gave some consideration to setting up a Hyo GT 125 for buckets, an exspensive setup (well, not really, less than $5k I estimated to get the bike and have it ready). The rationalisation for having an exspensive bike is the cost of racing, where it might be $30 - $50 a meet for Buckets it is $200 'ish for F3 (or so I'm told).

A pretty affordable hobby. Bike would be competitive too. USD forks, twin front discs, rear disc brake, adjustable mono shock, 120 front and 150 rear (if I recall correctly) tyre's, 3-way adjustable pegs... I could go on...
