    I too was confused between the two, but as i read in few other sites months back, the problem seem with the service support (DSK)
    The bike looks and performs good as per the owners. Well, Arnab could give better insights on this much better.
    Ride safe and have fun.

      Re: Hyosung GT650R - Ownership Thread

      If you dig into the older posts, you'll find the reasons. The bike is not worth even half of the price, same old 10 years old tech and parts it's running on. Frequent parts failure and replacement, numerous break downs, parts costs are equivalent to litre class bikes and sometimes more, increasing service charge and I can go on. Actually the bike the manufacturer/ seller complements each other. There are serious design flaws in the bike compared to todays standards. And when you can get a N650 for the same price which is a proven machine. Apologies to the owners for damaging the bikes resale value but I would always warn people before wasting their money. It's my opinion and may be many others(which will never come out!). End of the it's your money and decision is completely yours. Happy riding

        I agree with you're opinion and that's the reason why I also ask everyone to stay away from it. But to each one his own.

        I test rode the 250 and the 650, the reason I hated them is because I've ridden the Ninja and a CBR600RR.
        Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

          GT650R does have electrical issues with the RR unit & ignition stator but besides that its a reliable bike.We all know that Kawasaki makes better quality bikes but we are here to discuss about the Korean GT650R bike.
          Parts cost are expensive whether its imported for a 250cc/650cc or 1,000cc bike mainly due to the high import cost.
          Service support by DSK isn't the best but they are improving.

            The steering after riding it for sometime becomes stiff thereby not allowing to turn left/right for a split second.Any suggestion?

              [MENTION=32636]melroyal[/MENTION] :check the steering play and cone set... Whether cone bearings are greased or not.

                  After getting the steering head bearing work done then did a 250kms ride from Mumbai to Igatpuri and back. The bike now rides wonderfully.

                    Planning to get the rear tyre changed as its getting punctures frequently also the the thread from the middle has worn out.There is still thread on the sides of the tyre but it doesn't give the grip that is required while cornering.

                        Even the cbr guys are also changing to PR2... And it seems it's pretty good tyre. But is it stock clearance happening in India from Michelin... Nowhere Pilot Road 3 is available! I've seen it in [MENTION=45506]sunnys[/MENTION]ideup (Sunny Silva)s Ninja... And PR3 is far better in wet condition as PR2 had complaints about wet surface stability in international market.

                          Michelin Pilot Road 2 have only been recently introduced here in India. They are still in production at Michelin manufacturing plants and are not clearance stock that are sold here.Couple of Suzuki Hayabusa owners I know have also changed to these.I doubt the CBR250R guys have changed to PR2 as they come in front width 120mm and rear 180/190mm width sizes only.

                                180 spec tires? It must have squeezed into the rims in the side and bulge out at center and increase diameter of rear wheel? Or have you changed the Rim as well.
