40 years earlier they said the same about Honda and Toyota.

Im sure every first bike that the jap comps released were just super awesome.

Its called progress. Yes they have been making cheap "mopeds" for years but they are just now getting into bigger bikes. Completely different field.

They use what they can get a hold of. South Korea is a small country with a psyco twin attached to them.

But I see that no one is touching the comment about Honda and Toyota

I don't know about Honda in the early days but I remember in the early 70's we had a Toyota and that was a great car. My grandparents also had a Datsun during that time which was also a good car.

We had a 1972 Toyota Crown. It was a 2600cc V-6 and went like a bat. Rusted to crap in just a few years. It was Toyota's Achilles Heel, as they were generally made with a large amount of poorly smelted "reclaimed steel." They were already rusting on the inside when they were shipped.

Hondas tended to go the same way, in the early days. Edges of hoods and bottoms of door panels were the first to go, followed shortly thereafter by fenders.

Ours was corolla and being in Southern Cali we never had an issue with rust.

If the issue is looks, just put an aftermarket fairing on the SV.

Thanks for the classy reply. They've been selling 650s since 2004, dum dum. It's not a new bike.
