    and if it had the original shock on it, it's a wonder he and the bike didn't depart company after hitting some gravel and ending up in a hedge someplace!

    I've had the odd little issue with mine, but overall for the $$ I'm happy. I've kept it maintained and had the shop service it at regular intervals. I've just changed the shock on mine, and am much happier with it. It's smoother over bumps (it left the ground on rough bridges with the original shock on) and can corner way better now. Next thing is emulators in the front forks...

    whats the point putting money into it when you can just put the money into a new bigger bike, learners licence is a quick thing to get past so i dont see how you get any returns spending money on a hyoslut or any 250 unless you race it or its an aprillia in which case theres not much u need to buy

    So you bought a new bike instead of a used one because.........

    I've had my 6F for a couple of months now and have no plans to upgrade to a bigger bike for a while quite happy with the Hyo for a while yet. The reason I purchased the Hyo was with the intention to keep the bike after I gained my 6F, for sure when most gain their full they can't wait to move to a bigger bike but that's not the case for everyone.

    I'm not expecting any return when I do get round to trading the bike and if I can I will keep the Hyo as a second bike as we all know there worth very little as a trade.

    Oh and how the fck did you get the Hyobay upto 160kmh???

    but at the end of the day its a hyoslut and what can you expect wont b long now and ill have my cbr600 09 so i might aswell run the hyosluts face into the road
    I am impressed with the quality of hyosungs I have seen, they are built to a budget and their manufacturing quality has increased in leaps and bounds since I first laid eyes on them.

    They are a good bike for the price one pays and have good support behind them.

    As shocking as it may seem to hear it but even japanese bikes have problems and their are complaints with their quality control and manufacture as well. No bike manufacturer is perfect.

    The problem is when one crashes their bike, in a serious accident it is usually best in my opinion to say bye to the bike and get another.

    because believe it or not 250s arent that bad, some people are happy with them and keep them after their full licence is done.

    NZ is going the way of america with its obsession for cc. The hyobag reaches the speed limit quick enough and can sit at 120 happily so yeah on the road if yer being sensible why not put a little money into it.

    Only trouble come when passing opportunities arise and there isnt enough juice to get past.

    When you can't afford Italian you buy American.
    If you can't afford American you can buy British.
    When you can't afford British you buy Japanese.
    If you can't afford Japanese you buy Korean.
    If you have no self respect whatsoever.....you buy Chinese
    In space, no one can smell your fart.

    Despite the troubles you have had I am happy with my hyo, it has been pretty good to me and easy to maintain.
    I don't think its fair to judge an entire company on your one bike.

    p.s. I have had my hyo up to 170km but it was going down hill, does that count???

    Take a guess at how many Chinese parts are being fitted to Italian bikes.
    You do realise that the new BMW 450 enduro engine is completely made by Kymco out of Korea?
    Chinese electronics are popping up on Suzi's Honda's, Harleys, and yes, even Ducati's. Best you order your grasshopper soup recipe now.

    Yeah too right passing at speed on the Hyo can be along drawn out episode, that's the downside of the 250 power.
