Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders who have progressed beyond a beginner bike and want a meaty V-twin cruiser with genuine power on tap.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed cruising and boulevard riding with enough torque and top-end punch for confident highway overtakes.
Rider FitThe low seat height makes it approachable, but the substantial dry weight means slow-speed maneuvering and parking lot U-turns require some upper body strength and confidence.
CharacterA muscular, sporty-styled cruiser that blends classic V-twin cruiser stance with modern touches like an upside-down front fork and radial-style tires for sharper handling than typical cruisers.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to off-road use, aggressive track riding, or riders wanting a lightweight, flickable machine for tight technical corners.

2011 Hyosung GV 650 SE Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 706mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Hyosung GV 650 SE, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
