All right,
My buddy is about to purchase his first streetbike. He wanted a GSXR 600, but he only got approved for $8k at the dealership and the 600 was 9200 out the door...but I digress...
He went to the Kawasaki dealership and found the Ninja 650R and was likened to it. He then went to a new dealership in town that carries the Korean build Hyosung 650R. I have read a couple reviews on the bike and it seems like it would be a decent ride, it just hasn't built the reputation that the Suzukis, Hondas, and Kawasakis have over the years, partly due to its recent arrival here in the US.
So, I am requesting the board's assistance in guiding my friend in his decision. Do any of you have any experience with the Hyosung and/or the Ninja 650R. I know that neither are the calibur of, say, a Hayabusa or GSXR 1000 but bear in mind that this is his first bike...
Thanks in advance
