New Hyosung GT650X

Here are a few pics of the new Hyosung 650 due out in 2008. Hope we get to see it in NZ with their competitive pricing. I like the styling in general, not sure about the pillion seat, way to high. What does everybody think.

Sweet looking machine. Nice lines on it....Very clean

But have to agree on the height of the pillion. Way too high... Looks like they haven't designed it to be ridden with a pillion...

But still the styling of it - Very nice - would like to see the fully faired version as well

I really like it and pillions are for homos. All I want is a detachable pad so I can put a tailpack on it.

Its a nice looker, certainly an improvement from the previous naked they had out in the Comet. Be interesting to see what they price this one at.

Go Hyosung!!

very cool! i must say i echo jims opinion about the pillion seat though. if the respective girlfriend/dare i say boyfriend in this bastion of political correctness doesnt like it then they can buy their own

usually at a bike show if it's nice people are looking at it when somebody takens a photo....

note with this hyosung...not a single person is looking in it's direction.

the camera ddnt mean to take a photo it just opened it's shutter for a peek then closed it in disgust.

Ya think this is more "eye catching"?

**marioc** · 28th November 2007, 07:23

Any idea about pricing around 10k maybe?

I don't give a fark what it looks like. What does it sound like and how does it handle? That's more important to me.

For example, my bike is 10 years old - doesn't look as flash as a new ho'bag but it sounds better and handles great.

Guess what? I'm going to ditch the Suzuki to buy this:
(only 26,000km's - AUD$7,500)
