I recently purchased a 2015 GT650RC (injection model) with just under 7k km on it for 2800 bucks. Around 600 more in maintenance due to the bike having 0 maintenance done on it by the previous owner. Bike runs smooth and looks awesome in my opinion. I haven't ridden many other bikes to compare, but the tank grip feels much better than a 2019 CBR1000RR (haven't ridden older models) for me as a pretty bulky guy. Overall I'm happy with the bike for what it is. My second choice was an MT07 (aka FZ07) but the price difference was over double to buy a newer model MT07 with under 10k km on it. I will say this though, maintenance schedules do need to be followed with the GT more than any other Japanese bikes, while the parts are cheaper, they don't last as long. With proper maintenance though, it is a fine bike to ride. Just my 0.02 on this bike. PS. I live in Korea and even here, part availability for Hyosung bikes is not great, so make sure to check that out if you're interested in it :)

hyosung is actually a partner of Suzuki since 1970s. Most of Hyosung's bike is actually Asian market version of Suzuki - 650 engine above is based on Suzuki engine. Hyosung specializes on fleets (for delivery or courier or bike rental companies). So it is essentially Suzuki bikes made in korea.

[@timhays4290]

A little background. Hyosung is or was same Corp as S&S motors of South Korea. They once were a sub contractor for Suzuki. The 90 degree V twin of the famous SV650 came from a R&D Co-development project between S&S and Suzuki. S&S built the motor as a 650 and 250 for Hyosung. I rode a cruiser version 250 Hyosung. I liked the bike. It was built on the same frame as the 650. All other rice burner 250 cruisers are on a small frame and feel like a small clown bike from the circus. I do not know anything about the single cylinder Hyosung. However, should the same quality build of their 90 degree V twin carry over it is a winner. A few years ago Hyosung attempted a co-venture with ATK motorcycles of Utah, a US boutique builder of XC motorcycles. The deal was build Hyosung in Salt Lake with ATK badges and call it Made in the USA. The venture failed. Maybe they did not read Trump's book The Art of the Deal. LOL

[@khairilazhar3347]

[@A-FrameWedge]

Tim Hays I don't know where you got your information but Suzuki did not develop the SV650 engine with any Korean company, Hyosung did lease the rights to build the engine, but the engine that Hyosung built is inferior to the Suzuki engine as it vibrates and is not as refined as the Suzuki SV engine.

I'm pretty happy with my 09 GV650. I went from a 08 Triumph Bonneville T100 that absolutely killed my knees to ride. (Previously Torn Acl's ) I rode a carb'd gv650 years ago and liked it. When I sold my T100 I went looking for one. I found mine new in the crate from a Honda Dealer that when Bankrupt and had all their inventory sold through auction. Hyosung USA Warrantied the bike as it was new even though it was a NOS bike that had been through Auction. I Thought that was pretty friggen nice of them. I Had it sent to a Local HYO Dealer and they set it up and did the PDI. Going from the T100 to the gv650 was like strapping on a Rocket. Its Fast as F. Had one issue with a leaking primary cover that the Local Hyo Dealer fixed for free under warranty. He came to my House 30 miles away and picked the bike up and then brought it back. Several Month's later when Hyosung did a Bulletin on the drive cog the dealer came buy again and picked it up , did the service and brought it back...Can't beat that. The Bike still seems to garner the same amount of looks the Bonnie did if not more.. Some things have been skimped on like the chrome and electrics at this price point. But I had the same thing with my Bonnie and it was twice the price. I knew all this getting into both bike so preventive measures were taken. I replaced the Stator and R/R with Kawasaki and Yamaha parts respectively within weeks of owning it. The Dealer was fine with it and it's never been a issue since. These were known issues with the 650 Hyo power plants but I liked the bike so I did the conversion. The Chrome was waxed the week I purchased it and it still looks brand new. Basic Upkeep and running Rotella t6 have been just fine. I did almost the Same with My Hinckley Triumph. Lots of wax on the chrome and a Yamaha Mosfet R/R when into the Triumph. I was sad to see the Triumph go but my Knee's weren't. If you like it get one. Try to buy from a Brick and Mortor store that will honor the warranty. Parts are easier to find. There's plenty of dealers in the states and shops that carry the parts. Iv'e never had a issue finding anything I need or want. I can have my Oil filters and air filters delivered to my door in 3 days or I can make a trip to the local shop that sells Hyo's to pick them up. It's been a Fun Bike. I doubt I'd ever sell it.

But a Hyosung is like, after you pushed that thing out of the showroom "Hyosung what?". Hyosung said, that they only support their products for 5 years. Hyosung stated that They don't have to do it longer by law. That is what Hyosung send out as a letter to customers. Changes they did, for example on the GV 650 between 2014 and 2019, the 2014 is no longer supported. That could become a very expensive Barn blocker. Here in the area, many Hyosung dealer drop the brand because no support from Hyosung. My Dealer gives the bikes he got in store almost away. Bye, bye but don't come back. Ronny from the JC+B's sales department said, that they don't need, every single morning, a crowd of very angry customers that wait for warranty approval, parts etc. JCB's takes now Royal Enfield as a second brand into the store. So you wanna a GV 650 for $ 2800.00 if you want to sign that the dealer does not support the bike with any repairs, or spare parts. Warranty work must be done by a different dealer. You want a Hyosung SP7 brand new 1 miles on the clock for less than 3000? Ok but you know that no one else will. The SP7 is a 2014 bike, couldn't be sold and now not even supportet by Hyosung anymore. And that bike is brand new, never left the show room. If I would have to repair a Hyosung, I need to ride more than 250 miles away and the Dealer there does not take any new Hyosung customer in. He supports only customer that had bought in the past a bike from him. He send his stock of Hyosung to an auction. I don't say the Hyosung GV250-650 is a bad bike. No the opposite. It is a very good motorcycle, Only if something breaks, you are definitely and completely on your own. At least in the southern US.

[@XeoKai]

I actually bought one of these bikes brand new back in 2009 (It was a left over 2007 model) and it was a GT650S. All it lacked was the lower fairing. I probably put about 20K-25K on that bike in the span of about 4 years as it was my DD and my only mode of transportation for a while. I will say the mechanical aspect of the bike worked very well. Never had any issues with it. Mine did have electrical issues at the end of its life before I sold it. The starter is disengaged until you pull in the clutch, and my sensor for that started getting real weird. Had to keep it 3/4 pulled in to start. I believe I also had to change out the charging system at least once, possibly twice. I can't remember. Also, my bike was carbureted . Not saying that's good or bad, just stating a fact. This one might be injected as I don't see the choke on the handlebars like mine had. Another issue I had with the bike was the plastics. They were definitely not great and the connecting tabs started to crack. Might be because it was NOT garage kept in the least. At the end of the day, it definitely had some issues that needed to be addressed but it was an amazing, fun bike and I always got a ton of compliments on its sound and looks.

I live in Australia and recently bought a 2010 GT650R. Absolutely love it, although the previous owner did not take great care of it so I had to snatch it up, got it for less than $2000AU, it is a decent learning bike dollar for dollar and definitely could use some engineering improvements such as the dash and other electronic updates but it is a great bike.

[@jalzate]

Back in 1994 in Colombia (South America) a very curious about motorcycles young adult (me) saw some Burgundy cruisers in a storefront and stopped to take a look. Those were Hyosung Cruise 125cc, and it was a motorcycle that a broke last year student like me could afford. It became my first bike. It did great in the city, even though it was a city with lots of hills and real sloped areas.

[@08680868]

Hey Sean great vid as always 👍 , I am finally going to get my motorbike license this summer. , And I know I am jumping the gun a little bit , but out of a cruiser or a sport bike ( low cc) Wich should I get as my first bike to you know get comfortable on , and btw in the future I definately for sure plan to get both a cruiser and sport bike and also a super cruiser , I think those I love the most , and also do you think I could handle a yamaha roadliner/startoliner (love those things , so under rated) as a first bike , I'm a around 220 and workout religiously ( ahh man quarantine sucks though home workouts just not the same )so have good lower body strength, I don't know if that even makes any difference though

[@bishoymikheal]

I own the gt 125, it is faster than most bikes in that category and is much more reliable, I have done 40000km on that bike with basic maintenance. About 35000 of those were on the highway cruising around 10-12k rpm. Pretty sure the competition would need a rebuild by that time...

[@bigboi9611]

No. Most 125s live a tough live. Plenty of suzukis,hondas,yamahas,kawasakis or even daelims last that long with basic maintenance. Hyosung and daelim copy japanese engines anyways most of the time

[@altongkim1083]

As a korean dude im thankful for your positive review on hyosung. It's s korean company

[@stanmondzelewski9253]

I like samsung phones and the tv i have has done well for 7-8 yrs. I wont ever buy another samsung appliance though. 3 months after i dropped $700 on a new washer,it shit the bed. 4 different samsung factory techs couldnt figure it out. They did replace it after the 4 attempt to fix it. Took another 3 weeks to get the replacement. 2 months with no washer.

[@kungfuzing966]

The Hyosung was perfect for release in Australia. It had a learner licence legal 650cc for the price of a Ninja 250cc. Thats why my first bike was a Hyosung. The 650 could be restricted to just over 40hp, which made it learner legal, but could be derestricted to full power when you got your full licence.

[@chrisp.5272]

I’m going to buy a Hyosung for commuting. I want to see how many miles I can rack up. People have no problem buying into Samsung, PMC, ect. Korea makes quality stuff.

[@herrmahlzahn6924]

I would buy one. Parts? Well, I have a Hyosung Dealer even in a small town in east Texas. I had a gv250 in Australia and I was amazed. Add on: Now I didbuy one, and have to realize it is not the same company anymore or the company that I had in Australia before. The dealer repaired the fuel pump, a warranty case, but I have now a fuel pump from Honda or Suziuki because Hyosung said "Warranty what?". ST, KS, S&S however they now call it. give the dealers no support. They open and close Hyosung dealerships here in east TX faster than Walmart can run out of freshly made Dinnerolls. KB Motorcycle took Hyosung in. 3 months later. Hyosung? leave me alone. I have 3 in the back there. I don't sell it, I have to keep my reputation and I have enough from angry customer calling me. I traveled from Hyosung dealer to Hyosung dealer because I need a fuel pump. Actually a warranty case but Hyosung said, they discontinued this Item. You can sue. In S-Korea in this case.The importer said, send the Bike to S&S in Korea they fix it. CJC Hyosung in Town said that he is not supported with the bikes from the importer. He said many things happen that makes the dealers life sad. But as a customer you have to be aware that you have absolute no support from Hyosung whatsoever. It takes, in some warranty cases, months until Hyosung gives the dealer a green light to fix the bike. CJC (the dealer that I bought the bike from) said that he has every morning a bunch of angry Hyosung customers waiting for the Store to open. He said he wanna go rid of the bikes. He still has some GV, GT's left that he sells very cheap. The GT 250 in black for 2000 USD out the door, but he makes it very clear and even makes it in writing now, he don't wanna be bothered with any repairs or warranty. He has enough of angry cussing customers that still pay the bank but can't ride the bike because of a lack of Hyosung support. No that is not the Hyosung that I know. It looks like Hyosung USA is something between a hit and run seller and importer. Even a China TaoTao scooter has more support than a Hyosung customer. Rant end.

I would buy that one for 2300, but not the 250 single from yesterday.

I believe Hyundai is a South Korean company and they’ve done a pretty good job breaking into the US market. I’ve never even heard of Hyosung until I watched your other video for the GD 250.

[@qtp_qtp]

here in Brazil, we have fans of this motorcycle hyosung, I am one of them, we have a big group on Facebook, the company that was responsible for the distribution of these bikes has not been around since 2013, but the bikes still survive thanks to the resources to keep the proper functioning.

[@marcoaraujo4307]

[@stoissdk]

My main gripe with Hyosung is the lack of development (ABS anyone?), vendor support and the issue of getting it serviced or repaired here in Europe. A shame really as this was one of the bikes that really got my interest when picking up my last bike. I ended up with a Suzuki GSX650F instead. It's basically a Suzuki Bandit (GSF 650), so parts are cheap and getting it serviced is a non-problem.

[@stanthecomputerman]

Nice haircut..... you needed it! 😎

[@interman7715]

Excellent unbiased review .

[@ozelusus]

I had that bike but in the naked version. It's a pretty good bike. Decent power, quite agile and sounds very nice. Mechanically it was reliable - I had no mechanical problems. Electronics were worse though. I had to unplug the stand sensor and had some problems with the clutch sensor as they were malfunctioning after the rain. Besides that it's a great bike for the money spend.

I had one of these for a couple years. Problem is, when it's time to get valve work done, good luck finding someone who can do it. No dealership was "comfortable" working on it. I traded it on a car.

[@dr.jillalicecooper2587]

@@Bredaxe I don't know where do you see a CBR intakes looking at that bike. It looks more like a cheap knock off GSX-R with that vertical light. The bike is not ugly, but doesn't look good either. It looked dated in '09 already. But probably not a bad bike.

[@dennism1919]

Hey Sean! You hit the nail on the head going down the Suzuki path. There was collaboration with Suzuki to get them started way back. There seems to be definite Suzuki lineage in the design. The engine reminds me very much of the SV650 family. So, made in South Korea. OK. Frankly, I like the look. Tell ya what, this thing aint so bad, when you consider the price you identified! I know, I know! But look, you are getting 650 performance at a 250 price point. And until I can see one and ride one, I will not just bash the thing. I know this won't appeal to many regardless, and that is OK. I get it. A bike choice is a big thing. A bike like this will face severe headwinds, mainly because the competition is so fierce. I ride a GSX1250FA. A bike that never really caught on because it was considered cheap. And there are some things they went a bit skimpy on to make the price point, mainly in brakes and suspension. So it was disregarded for the most part. Funny thing is, it's a hell of a bike. I bought mine new in 2011 and I still have it. I re-did both the brakes and the suspension and now she's a beast! So ya never know about a bike until you ride it. And, if ya wanna ride and don't have a lot of money, it's an option.

[@hotwheelsforone7874]

Here in Australia they struggle to sell second hand for under 2500$ aud, such a bad rap here that nearly all the motorcyclists I know basically equate them to having aids, I had a 650 with under 12,000kms couldn't sell it for 1800$ aud, they're dime a dozen here even with under 10,000 miles in decent condition and even then people don't want them. When selling them here you've just got to pray for a learner rider who hasn't got any knowledge of them and just sees the 650 badge. So very interesting to see the American markets perspective.
