So im looking kinda… for a bike, just something to take to work or what ever on the weekends.

This guy at work has a Red 04-07? Hyosung GT 650R.

Its got NOS and turbo/supercharger… what ever he said, i was kinda busy at the moment

Never heard of a hyosung before, i dont really care, ill post pics tuesday when i get my cell phone cable back from my girl.

Ive drove bikes, upto a 'busa (only about a mile with that, just up the road and back.) so i dont want to hear can you ride blah blah blah.

Now heres my Question, How much would you pay, for it. 3K and its mint. Except for the 20 stickers on it. which if i buy it are all coming off. Again im not looking for something super dooper fast just, something to ride, and def something DIFFERENT w/o the 10K price tag.

He’s already made a offer and i told him im gunna hold off til i get some input.

Who cares what other people think. Don’t buy a no name bike because you think you have to be different then every other person that owns a Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki. Everyone owns those because they are quality made bikes.

hyosung is a fairly new company from south korea, starting out like like the rest of them, so eventually they’ll probably be good, but for now they are shitty ripoffs of the major manufacturers. this particular model is a SV650 analog, except reliability and build quality on it are nowhere close.  
unless you’re buying one of those new with factory warranty, stay away.  
from what I hear almost everyone who bout this make came back later with problems ranging from small gremlins to failed bottoms .

his Kuwait plates or whatever are still on the bike. but ive been just thinking about parts and shit… not worth the hasle.

since i cant wait to tell you till the pics, he wants ~5K for it. he paid 4,758. i seen the paper work. only thing he did was add N20 and turbo.

So jay, if you see this and you still want to sell the honda.

\<—MEE over here…!!

lol. i’ve always loved that bike, honda or not.

Ok he said it was turbo’d. Did he explain how he bolted a turbo onto a Ducati header? Something with that bike does not add up. Who is this turd?
