These are awful bikes and 800quid is expensive for one, the metallergy on the parts is awful i've seen several where the rear shocks have seized and the upper mount for the shock has come off at the welds in under 2000 miles. Not to mention the fact that most of the importers fail to pdi them correctly because no decent bike shop will touch em. Their always cheap chinese import bikes with cheap tacky plastics. if you pay 800quid for one of these you probably wont have anything left to re-sell when it comes to moving on, buying a good condition second hand 125 will mean you'd quite probably be able to re-sell it at the same price you bought it

Hyosung are a korean manufacturer and hyosung have come along way in terms of build quality, but these arnt hyosung.

The trouble with having an open mind, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

Just noticed the rear brake line - how f-ing long?????

Obviously that was the cheapest they could find, completely disregarding the fact its too long. How long before that ends up in the rear wheel??
