Yes, its a Hyosung.

Just picked it up.
Gotta say, this bike FITS me! I'm 6ft2, and 110ish kg. And its effortless.
Comfy position. Lots of torque.

Drawback - needs new handgrips. They're really small!

And brand new tyres are scary in the wet ;)

More to come as I ride it.

Congrats on the new ride.

I say the same about my bike and wonder how shorter people ride them.

Have fun and take it easy on those new tyres.

Wow you bought a brand new one? I'd buy one, but new price is a little steep. I guess the alternative is much more.

Handgrips - get heated grips fitted. Much fatter, and, ah yeah they're heated. :niceone:

Tyres, bridgestone battleaxe ? They are yuck, so wear them out over the summer and put some nice michelins on it. Yum.

Congrats! Nice bike. If you are up this way drop by - we have a shed full of hyos. ;)
