    No, people with iphones are often seen engrosed in that 'crazy vultures' game or whatever it is. Pretty annoying if you're trying to make conversation with them; mind you, maybe its not such a great loss?

    People with hyosungs are just overjoyed that they actually made it to the rest/lunch stop without major mishap, the relief just bubbles out as hyobag praise

    The Hyo 250 is so far behind in terms of refinement and performance it's a joke.
    This is true, I took the thread as more Hyoshitsung in general

    I use to spanner for a dealership that did hyosung and for a learner bike i would rather have a nearly new low k hyosung that some 20 year old flogged to shit not maintained jap can't get parts for it anymore 250/4 (insert japanese manufactures name here). The build quality apart from some paint issues is as good as most jap stuff, the engine cases and internal engine parts on your jap bike are most likely made by the same company that made the hyosung parts. As for electrical problems try owning a suzuki if you like fixing electrical problems, and not one of the jap manufactures make a relable charging system. They all seem to be able to last the warranty period but not much more, which is why my bikes wear a voltmeter so i know when the reg/rec is throwing in the towel.

    here here, suzuki GN250 sitting in garage with charging system/electrical faults and expensive ass replacement costs from suzuki dealer.

    and honda fireblade was not long ago in the garage cold and alone with fried wiring and burnt out reg/rec faulty charging system..


    hate to think what the italian Aprilia has in store for me..

    I dont think the Hyos are that bad. But ergonomics on them is an issue. Big bike but with squat leg area.

    Just as it's impossible to be a hacker if you haven't got a computer, you can't be a motorcyclist if you haven't got a bike.

    I've seen favourable tests of Hyosungs and I'd rather have one of those than one of the Chinese brands I never heard of...
