So I am looking at bikes currently and have narrowed it down to the CFMoto 650nk and the Hyosung GT650 naked. LAMS trim for me unfortunately...
I am leaning towards the CFMoto because of how visually pleasing it is but then I have always loved the beautiful singing voice from the Hyosung. I was looking at a dirt bike to turn into a motard but I have only ever ridden stubby 250s that are short just like myself and I really would like a bit more poke than a 250. Yamaha wr450f looked so yummy, until I couldn't get both my feet on the ground.
I've been looking at Hyosungs for 2-3 years now and always imagined in my head how I would turn it into a neighbour annoying, fire breathing, baby Ducati sounding street fighting monster, then the CFMoto caught my eye in spectacular fashion a few months back and now they are both competing in my head of who is going to have their living quarters next to my pool table.
Hyosungs beautiful singing voice vs CFMotos pretty face.
Anyone with experience please let me know. I am looking at 2012 models.
Biased anti bike brand opinions aside please, I know they aren't the most popular, but they fit my budget of 5k.
Pros and cons welcome.
Having mechanics in my family and being quite handy myself, I don't mind pulling it apart now and then, as it won't be my primary transport. I still have a four wheeled pansy cage as backup lol.
I have roughly a week before I want to commit to the purchase my first LAMS bike.
