Who is ATK anyways??

I wonder if it will work..
Kinda feel like they are gonna put a cat and bird in the same cage.

[Headbanger]

You don't know ATK?

Anyway, Anza have been selling Hyoshit alongside Harleys for quite awhile.

Its not about motorcycles, its about fashion.

Do you think the bikes will start fighting?

I can't see what the problem is, and would suspect that only elitists would perceive one.

i donno who ATK is.. i think some dirtbiking company?? im still noobs to this biking business.

hahaha nahh not the bikes.. the bikes will get along fine me thinks..
I dont have a personal preference or any prejudice against any kinda bikes, im at the stage of drooling over all sorts of bikes.

But from what i gather, harley owners (not all, just some) might have an attitude towards these smaller Korean bikes thats all, i mean some of them cant even stand japos.. and yet they find these Korean things in 'their' showroom.

Just wondering what their reactions might be.

Maybe my imagination is just running cynicaly wild... its almost two ends of the spectrum. Though Hyos are every increasing their quality... so should work out ohk i guess.

There are times when the mindless factionalism of bikers really fucks me off. This is one of those times.

[Headbanger]

Most modern Harley customers would have to pretend to have an attitude, and would remove it at the end of the day along with their dress up gear.

Has to be more interesting then a group hug, besides, nothing wrong in being passionate about that which you love.

and, at the end of the day, some brands of bikes are simply better then others.

Triumph>Aprilia is a prime example.

[Virago]

...But from what i gather, harley owners (blah, blah)...

Therein lies the problem - inverse snobbery.

Get over it.

Its not about motorcycles, its about fashion.

so where does the hyobag fit in this fashion world?

They look the part but they are shit.

eh i would have put the looks in the same category as the rest of the bike.....

From a distance.

The effect is stronger depending on how much distance there is in the equation.


Funny enough, Plenty of people consider them to be damn sleek looking machines, Though that is usually the ones pretending to be sports bikes.

Supre-type fashion.

i grew a major dislike after the guy at kawa dealer tried to sell me one. other than it feeling sluggish and not my kinda styling...
he said and i quote: " dont worry they are just ninjas made in korea, same thing " .

i just walked out.

[jasonzc]

The other major thing that i was thinking of...

IS there even a market for 250's in the USofA? Cruisers or sports bikes..

I mean, dont they consider sth liek the Suzuki M50 as a beginner bike? whilst over here they are considered a medium sized cruiser.
A new hyo GT250R would b priced similar to an old 650ish? wont the 'squids' be more attracted to tht?

[Taz]

We're not in the USA tho are we............. Bikes are bikes, they all have their strengths and weaknesses.

[Cayman911]

the great thing about the US. is that theres a market for everything..

[Headbanger]

Buell.
.....

[Cayman911]

Buell.
.....

thats just cold man.....

[bsasuper]

At least they are both V-twins!

[nallac]

Buell......

theres still a market for em...just no supplier....Thanks to Hd.

[Old Steve]

Would they stock the Hyosung 250 cc range in the USA, don't they think that a 650 (which Hyosung do make) is a l;earner bike?

Anyway, just who decided to put those ugly ill handling crappy bikes in the same showroom as the Hyosungs?

Just kidding!!!

listen peter pan, considering you dont actauly know what your talking about means you've talking out of your hairy ass

I race one, so do many others......they go great

[Headbanger]

Imagine how sweet it would be if you raced a bike that didn't suck balls.

Sums up my view too Mr H.

At times I feel I am being TOLD I have to have an 'attitude' simply because I ride a Harley..

Nice use of factionalism my friend!

[Chrislost]

Who else is activly supporting racing?

[Headbanger]

Who else is actively supporting racing?

Not me.

That aside, anyone who ties their ego to their bike deserves to be mocked.

lmao

At times I feel I am being TOLD I have to have an 'attitude' simply because I ride a Harley..

my neighbour down the road rides a harley, the one next door rides a thunderbird (ok so its a triumpth)..
both are damn good ppl, appreciate and support me riding my weee japo cruiser

... but then they tell me stories of how ppl who they ride with always looking down on the japos and how that fucks them off big time,
this whole thing confuses me..

im sorry if i started some sort of 'factionalism' thing.. that was certainly not my intent.. ma bad.
the thread was supposed to be more to do with almost two ends of a spectrum in the same showroom.. eg 250s vs big harleys in the US market.

anwyays @ old steve... yea.. thats what ran through my mind.. y woudl they need a 250 cruiser for?

what do i know.. im just a noob. but seems liek they could of done fine with just the 650.

At times I feel I am being TOLD I have to have an 'attitude' simply because I ride a Harley.. Don't forget the fact you wear fingerless gloves and skull mask! Though i have to wonder if you would today haha

I have an attitude, i was told this many years ago by a teacher, so owning a Harley fits right on in there.

[Tank]

Triumph>Everything

Fixed that for ya'all

It will work, Target market is the same, twats with money and no clue, seeking to make themselves cool.

If you have money - Im pretty sure you wouldn't be buying a hyosung.

The target markets a diametrically opposed.

[Pixie]

Do you think the bikes will start fighting?

I can't see what the problem is, and would suspect that only elitists would perceive one.

They will mark a line on the floor of the showroom separating the two brands and call it the 38th parallel

[Shadows]

But from what i gather, harley owners (not all, just some) might have an attitude towards these smaller Korean bikes thats all, i mean some of them cant even stand japos.. and yet they find these Korean things in 'their' showroom.

Just wondering what their reactions might be.

I for one would choose Korean over Japanese every time.
