Take a look at this article by Cruiser magazine. It looks just like a VROD.
The Harley guys better be careful who they wave to now. It could be a poser on a Hyosung.

I like the style, any idea of cost? performance? I think they look sharp.

Do Harley riders wave to V-Rod riders? Most Harley owners I know despise the V-Rod. One of my co-workers has a black V-Rod (actually pretty spiffy looking) and I tease him about that all the time. I also tease him about putting less than 1000 miles a year on it. I feel sorry for the bike - it's neglected.

John,
That's a good question. Do Harley riders wave to V-Rod riders?

What junk. Sorry, but I think that the Koreans don't have a clue how to build any motor vehicles. Ever been in Hyundai? They self destruct after about 12k miles.

I have 93000 on my Santa Fe. Of course they (Hyundai) have to give a 100000 waranty to make up for the Excel of the 90's which was so bad they make you take two home if you bought one!

 my point exactly. I have a friend that must be a serious macochist, he is on his third Hun-Die in 6 years.

That's scary! I always wondered what a Vrod would look like if they built them with a proper headlight and made that tank cover tin lid thing fit right. Now I know.

Well, I'm guessing ol' Doug MacArthur would have been proud, anyways! Dwight (Bogie, question....I understand, instead of that 100,000 mile warranty you guys get with every purchase of the latest Hyundai, these things come with a free 10 years supply of Kim Chi....any truth in that rumor???) 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Beavis we saw one over at the beach at bike night. The mechanic with the long beard had put it together that afternoon. Pretty cool looking.
