    Quick question: Where are Hyosungs made?

    Hey just wondering if anyone could tell me where Hyosung bikes were actually made. I'm fairly sure they are an American company, but wasn't sure where they were made.

    Thanks

    "Made" is such a subjective term.

    They are fully built-up in south korea, and owned by a south korean company. In the US they are rebadged and marketed by an american company, so the sensitive public are not exposed to an asian-sounding brand name.

    Gubb is going to set it on fire outside the importers of Hyosong and send the pics to every motorbike website / mag in NZ as a warning to all about the dangers of buying second rate Korean crap.

    Triumph are sponsoring the fuel and matches!!!

    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !
