  • Great Ride
    By  (I am an Owner) on Mar 10, 2009

    I bought one of these 14 months ago. I've put almost 9000 miles on it and have only had one minor problem. The blower on the radiator died, but it was replaced without any problems. I get 50+ mpg and it handles like a dream. The only thing I would improve is the seat, and especially the back ...

    This is the hyosung gv 650 imported by united motors. I have owned it for 7 mo. and put 1500 miles on it. So far it has been a great ride. One minor problem was fixed by the dealer. It is very fast, agile, comfortable, and easy to ride. I looked at other similar sized bikes but this one had ...

It has enough pep to ride with any big boy and leave them behind. I currently have over 13,000 miles with a few minor issues promptly taken care of by a local ...

    Please support this company you will not be upset only amazed.

    I picked up this bike in June. I was looking through the Cycle Trader, saw the picture and had to go investigate for myself. In a word, smooth. I took a test drive and was immediately sold on this bike. The weight is very low, compared to actual engine output so the throttle is highly responsive ...
