An Honest Review On a Hyosung GT650R

Baring in mind I'm no expert when it comes to motorcycles, but I am an enthusiast, so this is a genuine review on a 2009 hyosung gt650r

I like how home girl is just posted up waiting patiently

I think 2000 kilometers is too early to review the thing, so I'm excited to hear again from you when you've done about 30 thousand clicks on it I've had a 250cc comet for the same price as you've got this one, funny enough and it was without a doubt - a cheap bike :) It was heavy, somewhat crude in it's frame design and component mounts, engine was leaking oil (esp. after some hot rides) due to improper seals, dash reliably died after about 10 minutes in a saddle and bike used to shake itself apart, so maintenance checks were an absolute necessity to tighten everything up But I still remember it fondly, actually It didn't cost me anything (sold it for the same price after two years), taught me a ton about maintenance and simply had a nice character to it (90 V-twins aren't very common these days) plus I don't think engine will ever fail. At least from my company of friends and some huo youtubers I've never heard anyone say that engine gave them any trouble If you're on a tight budget and don't mind actually working on a bike and giving it proper attention, it will serve you well (and cheap if you don't order parts from Korea)

thanks for the helpful review, im buying the 2015 model of this as my first bike!

Job well done Ben! Very informative and well spoken. I have enjoyed your videos so far keep up the good work. 🌻🌻❤️

Oi mate, it was great taking to u and catching up a bit, make sure to invite me next time were both on. Btw this was a great watch

[@seanheb6103]

Awesome video, love my hyosung😊 when it works.

[@whizxcoffee]

greatly done review :D

[@prime-ps4lh]

Cool review! Very honest

[@Narong3430]

Great review I used to have one of these Korean bikes.

[@fx_turmz]

I have the gt650r EFI model and it runs like a dream I did have a regulator problem tho aswell but it’s because it go melted 😬 but overall my first bike and I’m really happy with it

[@TweakedRex]

I used to own one, wish I’d kept it. The headlight is really quite good

[@markhingst5368]

Surely you can just rotate the clip-ons a bit to make turning radius better

[@geoffchardon5241]

hahaha like the 30 mph clip👌 and nice bike looks good👍

[@maddpappa3594]

Beautiful ride, great review. Stay safe 🙏.

[@DVul]

Good review I've had mine for 5 years and 2 regulators, someone also backed into mine and ran which broke handlebar, mirror and crankcase cover, and fork seals went after 9 years, yes turning slow is shite but the sound, mid range pulling power which is right where you use it all the time and pretty solid feel at speed is decent, can't wait for full license though to upgrade to a solid litre bike...

[@pete531]

brakes review: "you've got two disks and they work" 🤣🤣🤣 gotta love this guy

[@KrasnyeRozy]

I have one and it's a real bitch in the cold under 10 degrees and yes in early spring or mid autumn it gets quite chilly in the morning but beautiful during the day to drive your bike to work. But she refused to start in the cold so many times it annoyed me so much especially when the Fireblade of my husband had no problems at the same time at all. Same goes with the heat. She overheats so easily in traffic and shuts down mid driving and honestly she has air AND water cooling, so that shouldn't be a problem but it is. Other than that I have some pretty nice tyres (road attack 3) and this bike is easy to hang off and knee down but again hard to grip on the tank. The Fireblade has edges which feels safer to hang off from but that machine is 3-5 gran more expensive and definitely not a beginner bike so that comparison falls short. The engine runs loud and edgy which was a good plus for me. The V motor adds a lot of vibrations to the driving which made the slow driving quite shaky but one get used to it. It's not a star under all bikes but defo a good one for starters in the category superbikes. It forgives some mistakes and is affordable. I'd say a good investment for the first two years but then it's time to invest in something with more power, more driving stability, AB-system and maybe some nice add ons like quick shifts or else to make the driving experience even more fun

[@sirtom3011]

The bangle bars ar only that close because you need to adjust the clip-ons

[@user-um9bd4pt6t]

2009 GT/GV has no Nissin brakes like yours, keep this in mind guys. yours is modified by the previous owner, I guess. Nissin brakes are installed since 2010 and are newer. Before then TCIC 2 piston calipers are installed.

[@iordachealinmarius8986]

You can open the Handelbar angle!

[@siddharthsaini9049]

Good motercycle and look like mv Agusta 1000 this bike is my first opinion and it's very powerfull motercycle 😊

[@edwinmoses335]

I have one… that’s a great bike

[@kapteinsuperskoot6986]

There's something wrong with your handlebars, mate. You can see the ends droop too low, hence the caught fingers. Mine (2007) turned quite sharply, I've got large hands and mine never got caught, even with gloves. Also, Halogen LEDs? Anyway, I loved mine, want it back every day. It felt weird the first day, being a little top-heavy, but on day 2 it was a joy. Electricals, yeah... Also, no, it is NOT an SV engine - only 2 parts in common. The engine was designed by the same guy as the SV's, and the Hyosung factory does build Suzuki engines, but not the SVs. Some say the Hyosung is actually a bit faster htan the SV... Anyway, enjoy it!

[@killimanjaro7604]

Not much problem with this bike. Just change the rectifier and its all good. Im using yamaha xj6 rectifier direct connection without the socket.

[@caseygillilan254]

I have a 2015 GT650R and I love it I think the 15 has 83 hp it's plenty fast for me I have had an 07 gsxr 750 way faster and 98 R6 and and an 01 cbr600f4i and honestly I am as happy with this bike as I was with any of those they get a bad rap for the name but I er all they are pretty great bikes

[@ihateytnow]

Where do you even get one

[@mattyhempkin1875]

Very tidy lad anymore of her coming out soon

[@DavilaSombre]

Good review mate but engine is not the same with Suzuki's SV650.

[@goth_chxf3193]

Hahahahahaha it even does regulator rectifiers the way sv’s do. Lengthen the cables. Put it under the triple lamp for good airflow and you’ll never have an issue again with it

[@mariuszwoodley1993]

The steering problem is easy to fix

[@Mpdc13]

I dont know if u have ever heard of it, but i have a 2011 250 gtr!, good bike, not fast (as 250's are) but extremely pleasent to ride and hear!

[@johnbiggins4864]

Can you lift those handlebars any...that's very dangerous

[@Sam-st2ds]

iam thinking about getting it as my first bike would you recommend?

[@sinnombre8763]

Is not the faster bike Is a bit heavy Have some eléctricas problems... But is very cheap motorbike and is a great school motorbike. Te problem is if you go whith others,you Will be slow than them 72cv are less than others and less aceleration than others 650.

[@Sam-st2ds]

@@sinnombre8763 idont mind going slower ,iam not crazy about speed and others have less power motorcycles here so thats my point but dose it have too much problems?

[@mikehawk9156]

Hope they used better steel than the 125.The 125 was terrible. Rust,chain tensioner and false neutral issues.

[@caroltapia4917]

Why don’t you open a bike business? I’d say Gibraltar would be a good place, you could live with your parents, you could sell ice to eskimos.

[@brightonmarkwick8324]

Gross... my 2006 650 has 80 horse power 😅 how did you lose power getting a newer bike??

[@brightonmarkwick8324]

Also; how is your dash more old school then mine? Digital dash on my 06 👀

[@lvmde2461]

What a coincidence, yesterday I saw you shopping at Leroy Merlin. We have the same bike.

[@fionahesketh]

No way, you should have said hi

[@Benibxi]

If you want we can meet up and ride as the hyosung gang

[@lvmde2461]

@@Benibxi I would like to, but my motorcycle, even though it looks the same as yours, is only the 125 version. But I plan to sell mine and go for a GTR 250 or 650. If you're still interested, let me know and I'll give you my contact information. PS: Do you speak Spanish? Because my English is pretty bad. Sorry, I haven't read your response because I have KZbin notifications turned off.

[@amandaamandabatista654]

I already have several bikes of different models and all of them had chronic problems, especially the ninjas with lubrication problems, problems with the water pump shaft, which always damaged the seal, mixed cooling fluid in the oil or vice versa.. MT07 does not work with the gtr650.. .all ninja 650 both old and new which costs 48,990.00 in Brazil and has nothing of components..like cane is the same as the ninjinha does not have pro link ...does not have adjustable pedals does not have semi handlebars ... being that the hyosung 650 gtr has an inverted cane with preload control both in the advance and in the retreat. acclaimed in the country where I live..xj besides the bare components, it's not even fun to ride the gtr650 hornet, you have to be pretty straight if you don't embarrass yourself.. you have to appreciate these bikes.. I know some engines in this life..and say one One of the best twin-cylinder engines I've ever seen in the category, easy to maintain and very robust, this is installed on the Hyosung 650 and 250..

[@Benibxi]

well when you get a new motorcycle its best to replace all fluids (brake fluid, coolant, oil, petrol, filters etc), just to make sure the previous owner was taking care of it. I got lucky in my case because the guy had it from new and in a garage for all these years. I'm the abuser of this bike now, and honestly not a peep out of it. I don't like the a2 restrictor on it though limiting it to 47hp. :(

[@vrajeshparikh4163]

Don’t buy it I had it GT250R for 5 yrs it was brand new. Always go with Japanese bike very stable and reliable though but expensive .

[@aryyan4173]

Nahhhh I really wanna get one but in my country they have this fucking bullshit rule that we have to be 18 and I am 16 I really wanna go to my school on this bike like really do ;-; it's kinda expensive for me ;-;

[@tracyMcC]

🤔 Maybe he could review bikes as a side gig?

[@Benibxi]

Maybe

[@elelegidoriginal]

You wouldn't be able to ride that bike in the UK at your age. I guess motocycle licence laws are different there.

[@Benibxi]

I literally passed my a2 license in england, so long as it's got a restrictor kit on it you're fine

[@victorgitonga5538]

I doubt that the speed you have done is 30mph😂😂😂

[@Benibxi]

Nah its the speed limit, don't worry 😉

[@gearedeagle6484]

Defo 30 😂😂😂

[@zanehurst5471]

I own the 2016 model of the 650, I even have a video of myself getting knee down on a 125 version. (Shadow_hyosung) TT
