Default WTF? Has anyone ever heard of Hyosung?

Hello all....
I was calling around, yet again, to get on more waiting lists in case my 2008 ninja 250r doesn't come in this week or next and one of the dealers (who sells kawi's) recomended I look at a "hyosung GT 250R" it looks really nice (korean made)....I don't think I'd consider it anyways, just cause I've never had any issues with my ninja before and I'm brand loyal...but I was just wondering if I was the only person who never heard of them before? Didn't know if they were a new compnay?....or if some of you have heard of them do you know anyone who has one and what do they think? The dealer said he and his team feels it out performs the 2008 ninja 250r....?

I just thought it was wierd, I mean I understand the dealer is licensed to sell both and all, but I am just suprised he would recomend it over the Kawi? Especially when he doesn't have either in, and will have a ninja in before he has a hyosung in so it couldn't be just to cross sell me into something he actually had....just thought it was strange

yea I'm not going to buy one, really wouldn't ever think of buying one, just thought it was wierd I had never heard of them....and their actually more expensive than the kawi....$3700.00. I did some research here in the last few minutes and apparently they build for suzuki ? and do a lot of research for other bike companies including Kawi (according to their website and some postings I'veread)a lot of the parts are suzuki....but from some of theowner reviews I just read;they are a piece of ****. They said they have a lot of loose screws...literally.
