The day of the hacking there was a story on the homepage about Hyosung and the three new 650cc bikes that they have coming to the American market, but now I can't find it. Does anyone know where it is, or where I can find out info on them? Thanks for any help.

I've heard all kinds of things about the new 650's. Everything but when they'll be here and how much they'll cost. Does anyone know anything?

Sorta like 40% of the components on a Harley Davidson?
Alpha sports priced it's 650 comet a little too close to the price of an sv650 ... not a wise move on their part. Hopefully the next crop of Hyosung's offerings will be a little lower priced, but I haven't been able to dig up anything solid...

Come on Scoot, I can call you Scoot I hope, no one bashed your outdated and overpriced "american dream machine" so let's take it easy. You pay for what you want to ride and I'll write the checks for mine.
Tech where I did you get your pricing info from?

If you want, you can bash the chit outta any brand of bike. They all have good and bad aspects, and what we are willing to deal with decides what brand(s) we favor. I'm no fan of Korean machinery, but I still think they will soon be offering bikes with the same quality and better value than the Japanese and the rest. But like Tech said, they need to drop the cost some before they can make inroads on the established makes.
