Then from what i have read, i say go for it and get it. If anything you will have fun restoring the Hyosung (though some days you may swear at it but efforts will pay off) , I could be biased to say get it so you can stay in this club haha.
Honestly though the GV’s most common faults tend to be the paint work on the swingarm rust and such, so cosmetic restoration is where you will spend most time unless the bike is looking very good!
Engine wise, if it sounds healthy like it’s purring like a kitten , you’re in good hands! – If it sounds like a helicopter, expect to rebuild the engine one way or another , but i hope it doesn’t come to that!
Either way, as you learn about it, the forum is here for assistance , so get it if you dare 😉 ,
