Hyosung ATV's

[slightlybent47]

I have a general question about this brand of atv.
Does anyone know anything about them and has anyone ever ridden one?
I know it’s not a well known brand so I was hopping someone has had some exposure to them and could shed a little tight on them.

I was looking at there TE 450s, if you have any input on this model please let me know.

For $5000 you could buy a used name brand 450. Why would you consider this?

Well I have a cousin that just bought an Artic Cat dealer ship and wants to put me on one to see what they are made of. He will be buying the bike and furnishing all the parts and just wants me to pilot the bike for next year. We are discussing using that brand or going with a left over 08 Artic Cat 400. He is trying to get some exposure for his dealership and since Artic Cat doesn’t make a 450 mx stile atv so we are discussing other options.
From what I understand Hyosung is using a Suzuki motor in that model and we were just wondering what they are made of.

doesnt look bad imo. it has adjustable shocks, hid lights, the rack would have to go but other than that it looks suzuki for the most part. give it a shot, steve

I’m sure if I’m going to be the one riding it, and they are the ones footing the bill, I would defiantly re do the suspension and making it wider and change the tires, it might be ok.
And after all don’t we re do the suspension on most of them anyway?

From what ive heard they are actually not bad at all.
