damn... it's a knockoff of a knockoff. Looks like a re-badged hyosung

[hyooz2004]

i was gonna say that reminds me of a hyosung

[dhuze]

Not only a hyosung ripoff.

Well at least it is a full 1000 less then a

sv650s now.

But I bet in real deals probably just 750 less and I think that you would be a ass to save that money. I think they are at Excalibur in Ct as well

BTW guys, for all of you that think the Hyosung is crap... I was told that the SV motor IS made by Hyosung and purchased by Suzuki. (maybe you all knew that already, I'm not a suzuki fan)

Hyosung used to do the casting for most of the SV motor parts.
That however does not really qualify them to design and build quality bikes. If you have ever seen the hyosung in person... it's cheap, and should cost way less than $1000 less than the SV. IMH.

I also think that United Motors is the new name used in the US for what used to be Alpha Motorsports. Many of the Korean and Chinese companies will sell the same models under different brand names, scooters are the worst.

there are some rumors to that effect, but the SV motor is 645cc, hyosung is 647cc

Couldn't that small of a difference be the result of some sort of piston update?

they are different bore and stroke, slightly different dimensions everywhere

there is also rumor of a suzuki engineer that now works for hyosung

how many hundai's look like more expensive cars, maybe those more expensive cars are rebadged hundai's

[Dichotomous]

take a good hard look at the engines and they dont even look similar, and I think the tranny is completely different, and then theres the frame....

Even if I agree there is shared DNA a 14% down charge to go with brand X doesn't make sense.

If I had a rental fleet then maybe worth a try.

If they were around $4300 or less then you could start a discount racing league or something
