Kawi 250
Heavier,

%20copy.jpg)
GT250R
lighter
like $$$300 more expensive
BETTER looks (IMO)
not as good fit and finish as the kawi (seen it in person)
unknown
sportier riding positon
i like how the forks look too....

now the 650R's
kawi 650R
lighter (by a lot too)
dont know ho much it is but prob cheaper too
LOVE the exhaust
bananna seat
why idnt they make it like the 250?
love the shock

GT650R
HEAVY AS FUG @ like 421lbs
IMO too much money starting at $5900
fake ass SV650 (you'll see if you go to the website)
i happen to LOVE the way it looks (like more than the kawi)
i like how the seat it.
seems to have better suspension...

Lots of people like the exhaust on the 650R.. I hate it lol.
Ive gotten quite a few compliments from people in cars and on bikes about my exhaust.. "who makes it? is it custom" "no.. its stock." "oh, i like it."

didnt post anything about engine power and such cause the hyosung site dont have any.. or at least i didnt see any.... but if anyone knows.... ???
Also, the banana seat sucks imo. It rolls your ass forward and gets uncomfortable after awhile.. much rather have the stock seat off the CBR600RR (as comparison)
I also dont like the sport touring seating position. You ride sitting as if you were on a bicycle. Not leaned over.. I am still trying to get money together to buy clipons so that Im more leaned over.

i see... you may be able to swap with another kawi's stock ones im sure... if i were you i would find out the size of your fork tube and look at other kawi's.... hell, look at other bikes period.....
