I was having a look around the net for bits for my Hyo when I came across this.
A 650 twin apparently

It's not a Hyosung.





The ONLY chinese bike I've ever had an even passing interest in is this one, 400cc triple, cafe racer - vento 400 cafe gt:

Even then I'd want a few 100 thousand other morons to buy one first Laughing .

Hmmm kinda but not really. I much prefer the Hyosung looks to the Kwaka. Obviously cant comment on performance, but if the Hyo was half decent I would consider 1 as a commuter.

Looking at the picture closely, it doesn't even look like a real bike to me. It looks like a picture of a real ER6n with bits badly photoshopped onto it.

I think it's only £135 less than I paid for my SFV650. Admittedly that was 12 months ago and from Whites but all the same...

I wouldnt go anywhere near it until i saw other people buy one and say its good. For that price you could easily get a nicer bike.

Taiwanese it would seem.

What's surprising is how much it looks like a ER6 clone.

At least Hyosung had the grace to seemingly copy a lower bike's frame (GS500) for their SV style engine to go in and make it generally look a bit different.

Wonder if the 650i will be a chunk heavier, as I believe the comet is.

Although this is not really a bike but a trike (3 wheels) its also a bigger engine than normal from china and from none other than liflan.

Didn't even bother looking at it. What I think is that until it's on the main insurance lists and there are several reliable and independent sources of cheap parts for it, that you'd have to be a raging retard very optimistic chap to buy one.
