Got this last week after having the Hyosung GT125 for a few months (which is for sale Wink

) purely because it was half the price to insure compared to a 125. And overall I think Hyosungs are very good bikes. The engines is pretty much identical to the SV 650's. What do you all think?

Hyosung make/made suzuki's engines.

Hence the 650 looks like an old SV frame/motor & the 125/250 look like GS500 frames. Finish wasnt all that on em and corrosion was an issue - however they always seem to score quite well on actual ride/handling etc

It looks better than a Gladius, or a CB500S, and I wonder how for riding it would compare to a Jap 650 like the ER6F etc?

I wouldn't swap a mint GPZ500 for one, but could ride that happily enough I reckon!

I'd never get one. they're cheap for a reason, and the reason is they're shit. There's loads of them here in Aus, and they always break down. The electrics are wank, as is the build quality... before someone chirps up and says "well mine is fine", well fuck you, because I'm comparing it to jap bikes.
