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

SV's are bullet proof.

Yes so is the Hyosung 650. Both still very budget though.

[dipshit]

Good to see an american bike builder for a change that realises sports bikes are meant to be light and nimble and don't need to be powered by a huge lump of V-twin or a V-10 viper or a Huey gas turbine.

But it also looks like Hyosung forks on the thing.!

Ohlins shock with Hyosung forks...???

Had to laugh, read this online about the MRX650.
".....Hmnnn... And doesn't the whole "American sport bike" thing sort of get cut off at the knees when the engine is a product of South Korea? Imagine a Hyundai-powered Corvette. Doesn't get your American-red blood boiling, does it?...."

The whole Yank mentality.....

Haha, no snob here. A few years back I spent 8 months in Korea and saw some of the shocking heaps of shit that Hyosung, Daelim etc churn out. Most of that time I spent in a shipyard commissioniong an offshore gas platform and that is also a heap of shit and hearing about our sister facility being built in another shipyard. Some of their proposals to solve problems or ways of approaching tasks would have your hair standing on end. These are facilities handling explosive liquids and gases, so I'm afraid their ability to produce a quality product doesn't fill me with confidence.

[Taz]

No me neither........ I personally wouldn't buy one either

How to make a better v-twin motorcycle in America?

Use a Korean unit.

Sounds 'bout right to me.

This is where you'll find all the details about the Fischer MRX650 and this is the website of the NZ importer:

http://www.bikepassion.co.nz/Fischer_MRX650.php

Compare the bore and displacement with that of the Hyosung GT650. I believe you'll find that this is a differnet engine, hence the 80 bhp output. There are also different colour options apart from the current "Solar Fury". Note that it's got a short wheelbase of only 1397mm and has a dry weight of 167kg.

[Taz]

Same bore and stroke as Hyo 650.

$17495?? They're dreaming.

[McWild]

I've heard the 2010 Hyosung 650 supposedly puts out ~80hp.
Mind you that's also EFI, whereas the Fischer is carb'ed right?

I hope you won't mind my saying, but your intentions in the new bike model section seem a little... Fischy, at times Hillbilly
