Hi I got my Hyosung GT650N delivery on Friday. Chose it over the Ninja 650R because i love the glorious sound and midrange torque of a V-twin over a parallel twin. Also the waiting period of the Ninja sucks. They haven't even re-opened the bookings yet since so long
I didn't like the clip-ons of the GT650R. It made me lean so much that it narrowed and lowered my field of vision. Not good in our traffic scenario where people, vehicles and dogs can stray into your path from different directions so you need to sit on a high perch without straining your neck to spot them faster. I didn't like the supersport riding position of the GT650R, felt that it is only good for track. On the other hand, the GT650N has quite a sporty riding position with a good forward lean while not as aggressive as the 650R. The footpegs also are slightly forward than the 650R in the naked version but still sporty. And the single piece handlebar of the naked bike is much more comfortable than the clip-ons of its faired cousin
In the naked version, the blacked out twin tubular trellis frame, inverted telescopic forks and the massive V-twin engine are exposed to reveal all the brawn and muscle of the bike giving it a much better raw appeal than the 650R. For me, the naked wins the award in looks category hands down.
The power is exhilarating. The midrange torque is so addictive, i am sure it will give an inline twin a run for its money between signal to signal traffic. It may not rev as high as a parallel twin but torque this bike has got in spades and will be a serious force to reckon with in street riding scenarios.
The bike is quite nimble though not as light because of its 207 kg kerb weight but it is as stable a rock in a straight line. This is truly a streetfighter and its got a marvelous engine, absolutely brilliant... no doubt about that.
