I need everyone's help in deciding if this is a worthy brand of bike!

I'd need some more details

how much for what size?  New or used?

It's really whether or not anyone believes that this fairly untested brand would be worth spending good money on.  If you would like details to base it on I'd have to start with the GT250/Comet or the GT650/Comet.

Ducatiloo

I think that for the price, with the 2 year, no extra cost, full coverage warranty it seems like a good deal.  But it all depends on how it feels to me when I was riding it.   Maybe you would want to request that the admins move this over to general monster forum, if you want the rest of the DMF to chime in.  I know at least one of the group owns one.  It's not a Ducati but it could be a good bike.

If you must buy new, and that's your price point, it's not a bad bike.  A used bike will cost the same or less, and you'll get more bike for the money.  If a used 620 is more maintenance than you're interested, check out a used Ninja 650R.

The one Goodolboy and I saw was $2900.  I haven't taken one for a test ride yet.

I have ridden brand new hyosungs and I would NOT recommend this brand.  I found the quality to be quite poor! (suspension, welds, fit and finish, etc.)  I rode one from the dealership and wanted to like it for his sake, but the quality was just too bad.  I would recommend buying a used bike of another brand instead.  If I were in your situation and could have a new hyosung or a used honda, yamaha, kawasaki, etc., I would take the used without a second thought!

I think hyosung translates roughly into english as shit house   :o  buy a used reputable brand

wouldn't this brand be like a Kia for cars?

goodolboy

My big problem with this brand is the whole get what you pay for scenario.

i had looked at the 250 as a easy commuter bike around town and a starter bike for the wife.

at $3500 new, weighing 330,with a wet clutch and about the same seat height of the 696- this is the best bike at the right price for her to grow into the 696. that way i can get the 1100 later  [moto]
plus it's a cool looking little naked and a V-twin

If it was free. .

yes.

If i have to pay for it. . .

Good god no.

Hyo what now? Is that a vehicle of some sort?

Come on man, why? Go buy an old BMW airhead with 100,000 miles on it. Check the oil and drive it another 100,000 miles.
