GV650 “Silver Knight”

[GVRider]

Hi everyone,

Most of the riders I’ve talked to said that Hyosung is unreliable, but nobody ever said it’s ugly…And it’s true! Mine is 2007 GV650 17k km on odo. Been riding it for 4 years.

This bike of mine is more like a hobby to me and a piece of art rather than a transport solution.

Got some cool features in it like 2nd Gen front pulley, 2nd gen front Nissin brakes, braided brake lines, 2nd Gen water pump, an active cooling fan on a rectifier, a headlamp switch delay, and other different stuff.

Welcome, and you should keep her. Don’t change the design , it looks really good with those saddle bags. I am digging the silver/black 2-tone effect on certain places of the bike 🙂

Everyone (who has never tried a Hyosung)  thinks it’s chinese , but they forget Hyosung has a long history with Suzuki lol.

Anyone who does aftermarket exhausts on this one? Jodo’s seems to be too small and will get burned eventually. LeoVinci is no longer in stock. And the guys that have them in UK are charging a ridiculous $1.1k for them on eBay.

You could ask for a quote locally where you live for a guy that does custom cruiser exhaust and he could adapt something for the GV ?

The guy refused. Saying that most of the customers then asking him to put the stock one back 😀 and one more in a different city said that GV’s exhaust is perfect already. Great look/sound. In my opinion, it’s way too big for 650cc and way too heavy.

I’ve had a plan to mount the ST7 exhaust on the GV650. The connection is almost the same. And ST7’s exhaust has shields that can be chromed at any time. Rather than being the whole big gun like the GV one. The dealer wants $999 for the whole new exhaust of ST7, lol
