I just picked this up today and I love it. It is getting a little tight in the garage though.

Actually they dont. They could be considered to be in the same family but other than overall specs the engines are quite different. Hyosung and Suzuki have shared research for years now and that is where the similarities come from. Hyosung actually produced some of Suzuki's engines for them. Tuning for both motors is quite similar but when pushed the hyosung motor has been shown to produce a little more power.

Well, right now you can practically steal one as there are still 05 models left floating around in some showrooms. That is what mine is and I walked out the door for $4600 (3999 + all the fees,taxes and the other crap that adds up real fast). I have been wanting one of these for awhile but at this price I couldn't pass it up. The 07 model is still very well priced at a little over $6k msrp I believe. Also, for 08 they are bringing out a liter version and an improved naked version.
 
Most of my previous bikes have been of that variety. However, I doubt that I will ever go back to inline 4 bikes since I have fallen in love with twins.
