Really a Yamaha R1?? REALLY LOL.... So it's the worst of the "modern era" because it is not confortable to you... Sure buddy...
Hyosung GT650R: I don't know in the US, but that GT650R was cheaper and i mean a lot cheaper than any similar Japanese motorcycle.
He used the Suzuki SV650, that Suzuki is AT LEAST 2000 usd more expensive not only here but i could say in the whole world...
That list way biased. |
Of course it is biased, it is written by one guy with his own standards. I don't entirely agree with his list, but I also do understand his approach to each bike.
He is looking at it two ways. Either individual bikes that were just disappointments in delivery (CTX1300 and B-King) or, for their segment, just not the best (GT650R and R1). He is also speaking from a purely on-road perspective, which he even states is his reasoning behind the R1. It's THE track bike, but most people don't take them to the track. As a road bike, it sucks when compared to the rest of its class.
The GT650R isn't a bad bike, but when it was sold here in the U.S. it only cost maybe another $1000 at most to buy a new SV650, and realistically, the SV650 is a better bike. That doesn't mean the GT650 is bad really, just not as good and for not much less, which I think was his point. It wasn't bad, but nothing stood out about it either.
