Beware those bikes. My mate had one, awesome bike when it worked - but it always needed something fixed :/
Mate, that looks cool... v. nice bike! I also notice that the 650cc version is LAMS approved... not bad
Im hearing that the quality of the Hyosungs are heaps better now, I assume your mates was an older one ?
It's pretty fast! More vibration than my Venox 250 but it really moves off once I hit mid-revs. Ground clearance is pretty good but I have scraped either the footboards or the guards (not sure which) a couple times when turning left on an uphill slope at traffic lights. Bought it because the missus likes riding pillion and though the Venox was good, it can't scream past the traffic going up Greenmount Hill. This one does.
The new 650 is LAMS but the 700C isn't. I doubt there's much difference but the 700 requires an open licence.
I have noticed in many forums that there were heaps of problems with Hyos. However, they seemed to decrease markedly after the 2010 model so I'm gambling that they fixed most of them. The motor is a tried and true Suzuki 650 motor but they seemed to have problems with the charging system, brake systems and general standard of finish. Hope I'm right.
Think you've done well, it's a beautiful motorcycle Murdo nailed it, look after it and it will look after you
