I've actually taken an interest in Hyosung's bikes these past few months and could definitely see getting a GV650 for a cruiser. It's unique and would stand out in the crowded scene of cruisers. Plus for the price, it's extremely hard to ignore.

I wouldn't count on it....

Those "real cruiser" guys tend to fob off the Japanese bikes, but have been quite complimentary to the Hyosungs. I've received at least as many compliments from dyed-in-the-wool Harley guys as from the foreign bike crowd. And I'm talking about guys that have been known to use Japanese bikes for bonfires....
