    Fuck yeah, I am ringing Hyosung HQ tomorrow, my unhealthy obsession with Hyosung is rekindled, I want that bike. They're sick of me pestering about the 2008 release of the 1000cc engine.

    I came across a old piece of paper today, it was the hand written sale agreement for my first road bike. Oh, the memories... R.I.P ginny.

    Shiiiiit, that's looks good! Are you sure that's an upcoming model or is it just a sweet concept streetfighter?

    DR-Z's have their oil down the front section of the frame...as for 50 hp?? Maybe. Tell ya what though, I'd love to see some muppet executive test ride it with tyres that shiny

    My bet would be they haven't got a carb for it yet...they wouldn't FI a single would they? Might as well turbo it then too.

    And if they loose the bottom fairing/chin bit it'd look much cleaner.

    So they basically have a Monster frame, engine similer to an SV650, Fazer headlight, and the exaust of a Gixxer6?
    Looks damn fine for a factory streetfighter.

    There is a bit of DR-Z in that Hyosung eh?



    Still, good on them. Motards are heaps of fun in the city. Maybe they hope to sell shedloads in Europe.

    I remember hearing around 700cc is the limit because any bigger it'll melt to the barrel. That NZ developed pivot engine could probably go bigger though since it has a water cooled piston

    Gas Gas has had FI in their 450 Enduro for about 5 years now, and Beta's new 450 has FI too.

    The Gas Gas would be my choice out of all the single motards (my decision is based purely on looks of course). The older 400 was the first >250cc bike I rode and it was awesome. If I had more money I'd probably go for the Aprilia V-Twin though. Not sure if my upgrade will be a sportsbike or motard...

    Get a VN2000 and cut the engine in half!

    I saw that on www.motorbikes.be but it only said there was a 2003 model so I thought it was a very limited run. But they still exist!

    How much? At the high end of expensive I bet?
