    Hyosung Comet GT 600

    You guys heard of it?

    Got an interesting price tag... bout $4300 US here... for a new one.
    AFAIK its got a suzuki V2 8 valve watercooled engine (borrowed from the SV650), disc brakes, upside-down front forks, 17L gas tank, 5 speed gearbox, etc... read somewhere it even has ABS brakes.
    A sweet price for a new bike with all the stuff its got. Too bad it aint a 1000cc.
    Doesnt really have all the ponies one wants, but with a bit of tuning....
    Seen any imported to the US?

    Here is a

    If it doesn't have an engine, it's not a sport, it's only a game.

      It's also only a 600......made to compete directly with the Suzuki SV650. As for looks, it looks like an SV650 as well. I saw in the MC mags the the Chinese and Korean bikes were coming but have not seen or heard anything around here.

        I watched some production bike races the other day and got surprised at how fast the sv650's were. I was thinking oh yeah - just another boring 650 v-twin - but they were bloody quick.

          Dunno if the info is correct, but its a 650, 54kW (cca 73-74HP), top speed should be bout 130-140mph...
          I rode a SV650... nice.
          All I want on a comet is a nice fairing and I start saving today

            Some french guys did a comparison.... Comet 650 vs. suzuki SV650. About evenly matched, handling and all.... with the comet a LOT cheaper. And they took off the ABS... DOH!
