Hey everyone, i'm Kyle.

Just bought my first roadbike the day before yesterday and now I feel obliged to subscibe (signing up without a bike sounded sad). I bought a '06 Hyosung GT250R and so far i'm really happy with it. Am keen now to get out riding over the summer with other bikers as i'm the first of all my mates to get a roadbike so I think I might get a bit lonely lol. I have a considerable amount of experience in the dirt department but decided to go out on a limb with the roadbike idea as i'm sick of paying heaps to run my car and bikes just seem to have more fun, especially during the up and comming months. As I run up and back between Martinborough and Palmy to see the ball and chain fairly often, it really made sence in my head

So yeah anyways, just thought id say gidday guys. How are you all?

hi there,

does your hyosung have a loud exhaust on it? just wondering because they can sound pretty sweet with a loud can on them. someone will prove me wrong but i think a lot of hyo owners chuck on a screamin demon pipe on them.

enjoy your bike.

welcome to kb

Cheers.

Nah, mine doesn't have a pipe on it... yet. I'm really thinking about doing it though coz it sounds like a sewing machine at the moment, I pulled up to show some mate my bike and they didn't even hear me turn up! haha, sad moment. I might just take the muffler off and ride it open pipe, at least it'll be heard haha!

oo, not a good moment showing your mates... but at least you are out there now and those hyosungs look pretty damn sweet too.

something like this might be your kinda thing?

or this:

obviously pretty expensive, just keep your eyes out for a good deal. but at the end of the day its just the sound and possible slight performance increase, not a big deal.

enjoy the rides over summer

edit: saw this too:
