The main problem with the Hyosang is that it's barely cheaper than the SV, but the residuals will be worse- if you sell after a year you'll pay more for the Hyosang due to its more rapid depreciation.

I agree dude. It looks good on paper but look more carefully. I have read reviews on the 650 Hyosung and they said it was very rough compared to an sv. The 79 bhp is actually only 70 at the rear wheel on that site which isn't gonna blow the sv away by any stretch of the imagination. I welcome to competition though, who knows, maybe suzuki will improve the sv's build quality in response and make it the bike it deserves to be.
