My biggest issue it the subframe is welded to the frame.If ya twist it you can't just bolt another 1 on.

I haven't worked on 1 yet either,but wth it's a bike lol I bet I wouldn't have any issues working on it.

it may be the blueprints of a suzuki, but its a korean company using old old technology on the motor, castings, plating doesnt exist in korea... they cut alot of corners.. so no, its not the same quality of a suzuki product.

when your not pushing the limits in a no holds barred hp war with 3 other COs. you don't need to build to the same level as the high end market. if you take the edge off hp/rpms, make parts a little heavier, they can be just as strong, cheaper to make but cost you 3 hp. don't cam it to make power as high so it feel good down low around town and over all just not as high strung. then its not cutting corners. its just doing away with high end parts you don't need and saving money.

its not racing in any classes for wins.

what i'm saying is think of an old ass small block chevy in a pickup truck. they can knock out 300,000 miles. with what is junk parts by todays standards.

they suzuki and hyo engines are not the same. the 250 is a v-twin as well as the 650. but the 650 has a totally block. i believe the gt650r also has just a little more power than the sv650 not to mention better looks in my opinion
