Motorbikes
This area was originally going to be a few bike stories and maybe some pictures, however I’m in the process of replacing my BMW K1100LT with a Hyosung GV650 and noticed that while there are a few online resources they seem to disappear occasionally and I couldn't find one site that brings them all together. As a result I’ve set up a repository and central point for Hyosung GV650 material that will hopefully save others the many hours of searching I’ve done to find this information and provide a mirror in case the source ever becomes unavailable. Enjoy.

GV650 Parts Manual
Imagine the look of suprise on the dealers face when you walk in and say 'give me a six eight one two zero hotel papa nine five zero zero charlie romeo'. At this point the dealer will tap the side of his nose knowingly with one finger and say 'one mirage badge for the tank coming right up sir'. The dealer will then tell his collegues to give you the utmost respect because of your superior Hyosung parts knowledge - little does he know that you were aided by a little thing called the 'information super high web'.

Video of the 2006 Hyosung bike lineup
This is actually 3 videos all in one. Both videos below are exactly the same content, the only difference is in the web format. Without wanting to spoil the plot, do you really think that a baby turtle with its tiny terrapin lungs would survive being near a bike doing a burnout that sprays rubber and smoke next to it?

Hyosung Australia
http://www.hyosungmotors.com.au/
As of early 2006, the Hyosung Australia distibutorship has changed hands from the person who had it and was based in Sydney. It is now run by Peter Stevens Motorcycles who claim to be Victoria's number one Honda dealer. They have a lot of motorbike shops around Melbourne which is where they have based their Hyosung importation operations.
