With this it really comes down to which one you like best. If the hyosung is from a dealer then you can get the warrenty and mod the bike the way you want and that would be the way to go in my opinion. However, if you haven't been riding long or if the hyosung is not from a dealer then deffinately get the Kawasaki. The parts are cheap, you can get a lot of different parts for them, and I know from experience Kawasaki's are tough. Hope that helps you out.
