Default OK so my wife bought me . . .

a 2008 Hyosung GT650R . . . at first I was like cool . . . I mean since I got rid of the busa and my 1000RR is down, I haven't really ridden in a long time.

My first impression was, "great everyone is going to laugh at me" but so far, everyone has been wanting to ride it. For the price you can't beat it, 145mph out of the crate, inverted front forks, adjustable rear sets, 2 year unlimited mileage warranty *only thing not covered is "GTO" and breaks*. I haven't really got onto it due to break in time, but from what I experience it gets mad in the mid range. and boy does it love the turns.

all in all, my first impression of the bike really made me think about Hyosung being a "Poor man's gixxer"

Only time will tell
