Hyosung could of helped out a bit.

What a cryin' shame it never came through on the open market! I really like it...
Lovely medium naked look, smooth lines and just the right amount of aggressive tailoring to give it more character than other bland 250s...
I also don't mind the two tone colour scheme, which avoids looking retro by some miracle!

Thats there GT650 in the pic. (water cooled engine). But something similar could be done with the Comet250.

Ah yes thanks for that...I was tossing on the cc for a while, due to the single exhaust system but the engine seemed a little big.
Anyway, I's a girl so give me a break alright! :bleh:

Mate, I think my age must be showing, but I struggle to find anything aesthetically pleasing about any of the modern nakeds. I'll probably get booted off into the shrubbery for this, but to me, the modern engine just has all this CRAP hanging off it - hoses, pipes, coolers, extraneous drives etc etc.
When I compare them to something like e.g. your Scrambler, to me, they just look messy and need a fairing to tidy up the aesthetics.
Each to his own I guess.

I see your point on the engine Neil.;)
But bikes like this, and Motomorini 9 1/2 seem to look right to me.
A nice set of excel rims laced to suitable billet hubs, and a few bits n bobs can change the "plain jane" Hyosung into something rather nice.
UJM may have to move over for UKM, (universal Korean motorcycle).

Interesting - I was just thinking it's one of the (very few) naked bikes I like the look of

Hard to argue with you when you're so right...
I'd be curious though to see aesthetically wise how many people prefer the Triple at first glance!
