Re: Hyosung GT650R

Wheel rim is stock. Its fits the wheel properly with sufficient gap for swingarm and chain.Bike is balanced and feels lighter to ride than before.

Yeah I've confused with Road and Street but I've seen Pilot Road3 and believe me it's awesome!

Hi Divya.Thanks for the appreciation.
Was attempting Bunburner ride so I didn't click many photos.Bike behaved properly with few problems while returning back with the headlight bulb fuse going out,horn not working properly and the aftermarket exhaust joint mounting became bit loose.

Re: Hyosung GT650R - Ownership Thread

that literally makes no sense. not relevant.

Re: Hyosung GT650R - Ownership Thread

That's indeed a beautiful paint job. Hyosung should also start working on making the bike lighter (and may be, a tad bit compact as is the trend these days).

Re: Hyosung GT650R - Ownership Thread

Looks are a start. On the weight front, making the bike lighter would require them to inventive. For That change the price would become a spoil sport, unless they have something that is going to blow away immediate competition with the price rise, they should be working towards making it affordable. Competition is building up from Bajaj, KTM, Hero, et all.

Re: Hyosung GT650R - Ownership Thread

Hello everyone! Though I am pretty old to xbhp and have been to G2Gs but have not been riding bikes since last 10 years. I had met with an accident and was barred by family and especially my girlfriend (now my wife ) for driving 2 wheelers. Now, I have finally been permitted to buy a bike. The only one I found to be of my choice was none other than GT650R . I test drove it yesterday and it handled like a dream. I didn't feel like that I was driving a bike after so long. In a few minutes, I had the courage to open the throttle and the speed must have crossed 120k easily ( cannot ascertain since the odometer wire was pulled out by the dealer). But I must say that I was a bit disappointed on the braking part. Was it because it was a brand new bike? Also, after driving for about 8 - 10 kms, my right thigh started burning up with the immense heat and I noticed that it had turned red. One thing to mention is that the temperature in Delhi was soaring at above 41 deg that day. Needless to say that The bike is a stunner. It had a custom exhaust which made the best of the sound notes.

I would like to ask a few questions:
1. On-road price is approx 5.35 lacs. Can any discount be negotiated on this price?
2. Should one buy riding gear from the dealer or are these available at lower prices elsewhere?
3. Should one go for the after market exhaust?

thanks in anticipation of your response

[MENTION=30632]abygrover[/MENTION] : Here's 'my' opinion. Since you're riding bike after 10 long years any powerful bike will impress you and GT650R is quite a looker. But before deciding for Hyosung please discuss with the owners offline( Online won't reveal much) about the service and parts quality of the bike. Believe me I'm not trolling here or playing spoil sport but think twice before throwing your money into water. If you wish only to ride to nearby CCDs, Dhabas then you may go for this bike. Go for Ninja650 if possible. The quality difference is just too much. If you still have doubt open the front seat of GT650R and see the parts and wiring quality inside. Even a splendor is of better quality. End of the it's your money and your decision. P.S : I owned a GT and hence the opinion.

Re: Hyosung GT650R - Ownership Thread

Really appreciate your feedback and a prompt revert. I do understand that the quality is a bit low but I do not want to put for N650R as it is more of a tourer and I would really like to buy a racer. And in the current scenario, there is no alternate to GT650R, correct me if I am wrong
