AlphaSport GV-250 by Hyosung
I have read a lot of positive articles about this bike, but cannot find any dealer in South California. Where are the dealers???
What is a good price for this bike? I've found around 3599. Is it real price?
Thank you for any answers

NOTE: Apparently, as of August 17th, Alphasports is no longer distributing the Hyosung bikes: http://korider.com/PHP-Nuke/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=197. They will now be marketed and distributed by Hyosung themselves.

If you are having trouble trying to find a place to buy one, you might consider what this means for parts and service when the need arises.

Maybe Hyosung is just in a transition phase while they develop a new distribution network, but I would think that Southern CA would be a prime market for them and one of the highest on their priority list.

Good luck.

I hope this factory effort will mean Hyosung intends to bring their full line here; including their 650 models. With the popularity of the SV it would be interesting to see their GV650 and GT650 in the mix.

Thank you for all links which you wrote.
http://korider.com/ was new for me.

I hope Hyosung will come to US market with all motorbikes they have. and begin their dealer network from south california. If I do not find soon GV 250, I will probably will buy Yamaha Virago.
Thank you

MidAmerica PowerSport is listing the 650GTS for $5,899 on their website: http://www.mapsp.com/
The 650GTR is listed for $5,999. I take this as an indication that the 650s will be available at some point in the US.

There was a post yesterday on the Yahoo! group from Hyosung's regional manager for US operations that they are currently establishing a dealer in northern CA.

One dealer is being set up now. will be in North CA. Call me for
info 239-571-9605 Mike Miller Hyosung Regional Manager.

My name is Mike Miller and I am the Hyosung Motors regional manager in
the United States. We are no longer doing business with Distributors
with our product and are setting up Dealers direct. This means that
Parts are no longer an issue for Dealers as they come direct from GA.
If you have parts issues in the United states, Please contact your
dealer and give them my phone number (706) 210-7072. Also We have 188
2004 Alphasports/Hyosung GT250 bikes to sell at a great price if any
dealers are interested. DEALERS ONLY PLEASE! NO PRIVATE SALES.
