    Well, I've done something dishonorable and bought a hyosung. The almighty Japanese motorcycle companies would be ashamed

    WP_20150820_09_09_00_Pro.jpg

    It's got a very illegal tail light assembly and a nice aftermarket exhaust that sounds like a loud endless fart.

    Also need to have a look at the wheel bearings as they're pretty noisy

    All in all it's not a bad ride, bit underwhelming if anything, can't compare to the feel of a 90's Kawasaki. Looks great though, and handles better than I expected

    dougfella ended up needing some bits from his C model engine, if i see a decent engine up for sale cheap i might take it and finish getting the bike back together, otherwise i'll probably be parting it out.

    don't want to be stuck with only this hyosung for too long though, i'm pretty keen on having a zxr or similar bike to ride around, something about riding a bike that feels like a cbr600 with cerebral palsy just doesnt float my boat haha

    At least your riding, some can't.
    To me, I don't give a rats arse what you ride, so long as you are on two wheels and enjoying being a rider.

    I'd buy a hyo any day - for the right price. A 6 pack would do it, although I'd probably be paying a little much.

    For sure, all Korean jokes aside I'm actually pretty happy with it, fun ride and looks great, just needs about 30 more hp and one more gear and it'd be perfect
