2010 Hyosung GT650R EFI

The GT650 is possibly the world's most flexible street bike. Available in three versions, it is powerful, stylish, flexible and affordable. Hyosung's DOHC 8 valve 650cc V-Twin engines are rapidly gaining respect in the motorcycling world, with the new updated fuel-injected model pushing out a healthy 82bhp comapred to Suzuki's SV650 at 70bhp.

Adjustable footrests compliment the versatile chassis, tailor the ergonomics to suit your body and height. Dual lateral oval bar frame is designed to reduce weight and allow the engine to be carried lower to provide cornering agility comparable to European sports bikes.

Upside down forks compliment the chassis to give nimble handling and safer road holding. Twin front discs and dual twin piston fully floating brake calipers provide incredible stopping power. Upside down forks have compression and rebound adjustment, and the rear shock is charged for suspension sophistication not normally available in this price range.

LCD instuments with fuel and temp gauges, clock and dual trip meter. A large 17 litre fuel tank ensures long touring range.

Split left/right fairing design allows cheaper repairs in the event of damage.

The GT650R also has convenience features such as pillion grab rail and heavy duty tie down hooks for all your gear for those long trips. The rider's seat is firm in design to provide good support and reduce fatigue. The comet series all incorporate key lock storage compartment under the pillion seat; items such as wet weather gear, maps, lunch etc can be stored here, as well as locking helmet security (depending on helmet design).

All GT650 variants share the following specifications:
17 litre fuel tank
120/60x17 Front Tyre
160/60x17 Rear Tyre
Twin 300mm disc front brakes
Disc rear brake
6 Speed gearbox
1435mm wheelbase
Electric starter
Double Overhead Cam Water cooled 650cc V-Twin engine
Adjustable large diameter 41mm 'upside-down' front forks.

2 Years parts and labour warranty with free 12 months breakdown cover.

The gearbox’s action is light, velvety and precise. Coming into the sweeper I gear clutch-less'ly upwards, tall ratios give the GT650 a long legged feel and make good use of the engine’s torque. This also leaves the GT feeling less rev-happy than the SV 650, resulting in a smoother feel. I note the soft rev-limiter nudging me gently to shift at 11,000 RPM. Smooth and flexible seem the keywords of the day for the Hyosung engine, with it offering it’s best in the 5000-8000RPM range.

Though the test is short, this perch is preferable to the arse-aching cruelty of the ’05 SV 650 Naked.
Despite the aspirations of being “a beginners bike”, the GT650 is a hugely satisfying ride.
The final word on the Hyosung GT650 is not all the talk of a cheaper Suzuki, the two-year warranty or versatile engine… it’s not a word at all really… it is the post ride grin I’m wearing.

All our new bike prices are inclusive of V.A.T, pre-delivery inspection costs (petrol, oil, number plate, tax disc holder and L-plates if required). DVLA first registration fee and road tax are not included and will be charged at the prevailing rate. All bikes are fully assembled, prepared and registered for road use (if applicable)

Established in South Korea in 1978, Hyosung have benefited from a technical tie-in with Suzuki since 1979. Manufacturing high quality motorcycles and components to ISO 9001 quality standards.

King of the Open Class. With the CBR1000RR, Honda literally rewrote the rules for the sporting literbike class. Rated best by one magazine after another, the revolutionary CBR1000RR has established new standards for light weight, superlative handling, remarkably compact dimensions and exceptional performance. Also available with our high-tech electronically controlled Combined ABS for the ultimate in sophisticated sportbike braking performance, the CBR1000RR remains the yardstick to which all others are compared. You want performance? You want style? Then you want a Honda CBR1000RR. Designed to be the ultimate streetbike, it’s been refined to perfection on World Superbike tracks across the globe. In addition to its powerful engine and refined chassis the CBR1000RR showcases state-of-the-art features no other sportbike can match, like our electronically controlled Combined ABS and the revolutionary Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD). The result is one of the most awesome literbikes on the planet, but also one that’s so refined it’s a joy to ride. And after all, isn’t that exactly what you’d expect from a Honda?

yamaha v maxhere is no universal authority defining the terminology of sport bikes or any other motorcycle classes. Legal definitions are limited by local jurisdiction, and race sanctioning bodies like the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) and the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) set rules that only apply those who choose to participate in their competitions. Nonetheless, by present day standards in Europe, North America and the rest developed world, sport bikes are usually divided into three, four, or five rough categories, reflecting vaguely similar engine displacement, horsepower, price and intended use, with a good measure of subjective opinion and fudging for the sake of simplicity. Marketing messages about a model from the manufacturer can diverge from the consensus of the motorcycling media and the public. Sometimes the classes used in motorcycle racing are approximated in production models, often but not always in connection with homologation.

The sport bike classes in common usage are:[12][18][18][19]

* Lightweight, also called entry level, small or beginner bikes.[14][20][21] Some two strokes in this class have dramatically higher performance than the four strokes, being likened to miniature superbikes.[12] Sport bikes with engine displacements of up to about 500 cc (31 cu in) are usually in this class.[4]
* Middleweight,[18] mid-sized, mid-level,[14] or supersport.[12] Some of the models in this range qualify for racing in the classes AMA Supersport Championship, British Supersport Championship and the Supersport World Championship, but many middleweights do not have a significant presence in racing. Displacements of 600–750 cc (37–46 cu in) are typical.[4]
* Superbike,[18] liter-class, or literbike, i.e 1,000 cc (61 cu in).[4] As with supersport, many of the models in this class compete in superbike racing.
o Open class, hypersport or hyperbike[20][22][23] are terms sometimes used in lieu of superbike as a catch-all for everything larger than middleweight.[19][20][24][25][26] Alternatively, these terms mark a class above the superbikes for the largest displacement sport bikes with the highest top speeds, with weights somewhat greater than the superbike class.[4][8][27][28]

The terms supersport and superbike are sometimes applied indiscriminately to all high performance motorcycles.[29][30][31][32] Categorization by engine displacement alone is a crude measure, particularly when comparing engines with different numbers of cylinders like inline or V fours with parallel and V twins, not to mention the greater power for a given displacement of two-stroke engines over four strokes.[14]

In the less developed world, smaller engine sizes are the norm, and relative terms like small, mid sized and large displacement can have different meanings. For example, in India in 2002 there were about 37 million two-wheelers,[33] but as of 2008, there were only about 3,000 motorcycles, or fewer than one in 12,000, of displacement 1,000 cc (61 cu in) or more.[34] Similarly, the perception of relative sizes has shifted over time in developed countries, from smaller to larger displacements.[35] When the original superbike,[9][11] the Honda CB750, appeared in 1969, it was called a "big four,"[8] while today an inline four of 736.5 cc (44.94 cu in) would be classed in the middle range.

Besides having product lines that span from entry level through high end sport bikes, many manufacturers add depth[36] to that line by having pairs, or several pairs, of similar sport bikes aimed at riders of different levels. These are designed to appeal to riders seeking more or less extreme performance features. The more expensive model will be in the vein of a race replica, offering the latest technology updated with frequent design revisions, while the lower cost model typically relies on older technology, can have a more relaxed riding position, and is generally more practical for non-road racing tasks such as urban commuting and carrying passengers or baggage, and offering lower fuel, insurance and maintenance costs. Examples of these paired models are Buell's Firebolt and Lightning, Ducati's 916/748 through 1198/848 paired series, Honda's CBR600RR and F4i middleweights[8] and RC51 and CBR100RR liter-class, several different concurrent models in Kawasaki's Ninja line, and Yamaha's R6 and 600R.[4]
