Hyosung GV650 reviews

I picked up my new 2008 GV650 yesterday. This is the first bike I've been on in over 30 years. From the showroom floor I put 92 miles on it the first day. It is quick, responsive, and stable. Everything works perfectly. So far I'm absolutely delighted!! Show less

I've had my GV-650 for a year and have ridden the heck out of it. It is a fast, light and nimble cruiser. I am very satisfied. Who wouldn't be? I have had a couple of problems; nothing that the 2-year, wheel-2-wheel warranty didn't handle swiftly. It is a great bike; take my word for it! Show less

While the GV650 is only the second bike I have owned (I rode a Yamaha 650 in the early 1980s for approximately 1000 miles) and have no other means for comparison, I have ridden this bike 3500 miles in three months. It handles great and runs smoothly (no vibration). I can't go anywhere without someone commenting on the bike. I would buy it again tomorrow. There is no doubt it provides more bang for buck than any other bike I've seen. Show less

18 bikes in 42 years and this is the best for the buck so far... -72.1 hp on rear wheel[dyno] -No problem to go 200kph+ -Finish on carrier thin -Exceptional handling & braking -Smooth ride on maintained roads -41mpg hard throttle -57.25mpg cruising -$10k bike with accessories as advertised and got a tach -Real eye catcher bike I am very critical and so far cannot find any flaws. I have even loaned this to the skeptical under supervision and they don't believe this amazing bike at this price. Try it, you won't be sorry. Show less

My first cruiser, if that's what you call it. But it's getting a little old having the other riders drool all over it. What's even better is to outrun them and then tell them it's a 650. Only in the US do ccs seem to matter so much. And if you want to see them weep, tell them the price. I have not found a bad thing about the bike or the ride - it's great! Show less

I picked up my 2007 orange colored UM/Hyosung 650 cruiser. Been riding bikes for years. This is truly a combination bike; it has the agility and quickness of a croch rocket and the comfort of a cruiser. Took it to work one day, and I work with a lot of Harley riders, needless to say they were all impressed. So much that a few have changed their minds about buying another Harley and are seriously looking at this bike. Can't beat the price either. Show less

I've had the bike close to a year. I've had Honda v45 Magna's (80's vers) and a VMax. This bike has the performance between the v45 and Vmax, but handles and is balanced better than either. Pros - Rides Great, Tons of Performance and mixes the cruiser with sports bike response. Cons - Lots of plastic, non-adjustable handle bars, few rattles in the beginning. Show less

This leaves Harleys behind. This bike really flys when you twist it on. It has great handling and braking with looks that stop people in their tracks. It is a joy to own. The secret to happiness is to find a dealer that knows how to set the bike up right from the start, not someone selling their first Hyosung! Show less

I first saw the GV650 in a magazine and felt it would take years to get to the US. Went ahead and bought the V-Strom instead. Never felt comfortable standing on my toes so I traded it in for the GV650 and man what a difference. I love the bikes look and the ride is perfect. I've put more miles on this bike in a month than I did in a year with my previous. Everybody stops to check it out and can't believe how much they cost. Show less

This bike is awesome!! Power galore! Corners great. Comfortable seat. Catches everyones eyes! Show less
