Best for
It's built for relaxed boulevard cruising and weekend rides where style and V-twin character matter more than outright speed.
Built for
It has the soul of a classic muscle cruiser, with a punchy 90-degree V-twin delivering a satisfying growl and midrange torque rather than screaming top-end power.
Not ideal for
It's not the right choice for riders seeking agile canyon-carving performance, serious off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable machine.

Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.

At 705mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Hyosung GV650, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright riding position.

Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated. This is an approximation from category-typical geometry, not a measurement of this bike or of you - sit on one before you buy.
