http://www.hyosungmotorsusa.com/new_...T650&year=2017

And moreover back in the day I almost got me one of those, and to be honest, the quality seemed OK visually. No idea how's it actually running the thing on the road.
Their website is a bit goofy and some of the specs on the GT bikes are mixed up. The GT650 is 459lbs, which is about 10-15lbs heavier than the SV650.

The GT650 is still a decent bargain compared to the SV650, but in my opinion it's not enough of a bargain to turn my eyes away from the proven SV650 with parts and support just down the street anywhere in N. America. I have actually looked at them before, and if I could get one for $5000, I would even consider one.

the 950 super enduro is the bike to have... if you can ever find one & when you do they
are worth there weight in gold... LC4 motor.. 950cc vee twin & 100hp in a full enduro frame.
KTM only made them for 3 years then turned them in to the adventure bikes they now sell..

google them if yer want to see what insanity on wheels looks like...
Parts prices has always been the one issue with Euro bikes. Not that some JDM parts prices aren't a bit silly as well.

I am familiar with the 950 Super Enduro. It is an interesting bike. I would even go so far to say that it was somewhat the father of the "Adventure" bike segment.
