[JimO]

[skidMark]

something chinese for the mini chopper riders to upgrade to

[Oakie]

At least no-one can say it's a straight copy of ... anything.

[Mr. Peanut]

Oh no?......

[Eurodave]

GerMANIC Hyobag with a bad attitude,hmmmm,looks way tougher than an Aquilla. Naff name tho,probably sounds way cooler in German, looks rad in a chinese 'lets copy American Chopper' mini chopper kind of way, I wouldnt throw stones at it.....

[Drum]

Indicators in the bar ends? That could make a small mistake rather expensive!

Bike looks OK, but the name is a bit dodgy (kinda like "Bros").

[James Deuce]

It. Doesn't. Look. ANYTHING. Like. A. V-Rod.

[jafar]

Looks like it fell out of the ugly tree & hit every branch on the way down :sick:

[alexthekidd]

i'm left with just three characters W T F ?

edit: 4 characters

[skelstar]

Think that looks damn cool actually.

[toymachine]

Looks bloody cool.

[hogmeister]

Wonder if that comes with black bean sauce.....Loooks like it will handle like shit, fall to bits as soon as the rain hits it, and no two spares will be the same, least 'merican steel don't rust as fast as chinese does.....

[Mr. Peanut]

Well, it certainly made an impression with you guys. I think I'd be left with gapin jaws if it burned past with open pipes.

[The Lone Rider]

I want one. Where can I buy? :D

Korean.

Check out the reactions to the GT650R et al; people actually seem to be quite pleased with them.

Of course it will handle like shit, it is a cruiser.

[skidMark]

No but its got something the VROD hasn't... stock.

I think it's actually quite cool.

[Tank]

I think it looks ok in the the pics - but when you see it up close you will be able to tell that it is very el-chepo made - same as the other hobag cruisers.

I like the idea - cheap motoring - something fun for the weekend.

I hate the name trend killer - Like we are selling shit loads of HoBags - This will stop that.

Wouldn't buy one personally - but then Im guessing Im not their target market.

[The Lone Rider]

You've seen one tank? All I've seen is the Aquilla 650 things on trademe that dont look anything like the trend killer

[fireball]

right so who is going to test ride it and make a good /bad report?

[jrandom]

[jrandom]

[Bonez]

Uuu errr upsidedown forks. The v-rod looks so plain in comparison.

[Thunder 8]

Who gives a toss who made it. Looks cool altho 1000 or 1200 be betta.:rolleyes:

[Tank]

From what I read it is one of those Aquilla bikes with a ton of add-ons.

So - it might be dressed up, but lift the kimono and she's still a Ho underneath.


;-)

[Str8 Jacket]

I actually kinda like it!!

[Angusdog]

The Hyosung Trend Killer was shown at Intermot by MMS Cycles, one of their dealers over in Germany. The Trend Killer is a Hyosung GV650, with a careful selection of custom accessories swapped for the stock pieces to change the look quite a bit. The end result, which includes items like a 240 rear tire and twin exhaust, custom wheels, LED lights, superbike bars, a custom single seat/rear fender combination to name just a few is a lot more aggressive than the stock bike.
MMS Cycles has the parts available so GV650 owners can build their own duplicate of the show bike. All of the changes are to the appearance, there are no engine related items listed.

If you're going to look like a drag bike, have at least something in terms of horsepower to back it up with. Otherwise it's a fashion accessory which screams "I know f*ck all about motorcycles!"

Also I can only charitably assume the name is a google translation of something that made sense in German or Chinese. Uncharitably, I rank it alongside the Mazda Bongo Friendlee in terms of appellations.

[pritch]

It's not my normal taste in bikes, but I do like the look of that.

BIKE is normally very sprotbike oriented and only occasionally give a grudging nod to anything else. So when I saw they had an item on the Aquilla (sp?) I thought it'd be a rubbishing. They surprised me, they liked it, and rated the Hyosung as the best middleweight cruiser available. Better than a Sportster even....

Doesn't it use the same engine as the GT650R? Wot makes roughly the same/more than the SV650?

Hell, it's got to be more powerful than an 883.

Lift the skirt on a VROD and it's still a Harley underneath...

:shutup:

[Swoop]

Uuu errr upsidedown forks.
Just think of the performance!

[martybabe]

I'm surprised,I clicked on the link assuming I'd hate it but I gotta say it looks like a good attempt. :yes:
