My Bike - Hyosung GT Comet 125

[StevenF]

Hello!

Well, after all confusion to what bike I was getting and being messed around on Ebay, I finally have a bike! It's a Hyosung GT Comet 125. It's a lovely looking bike and I'm really happy with it. Done over 100miles since last night and could've done a lot more!

It's a 4 stroke so it isn't as fast as my brothers Honda NSR but it does have much better fuel economy and should be much more reliable!

It feel like a really big bike. At college a guy who drives a Lifan said to a mate of mine he thought it was a 400cc. Another guy pulled up next to me outside Halfords and thought it was a 600cc! I think the 17L fuel tank makes it look really big.

I drove it to college today down the duel carriageway and back. It felt so windy! I think it's partly because there's no screen or anything to re-direct the wind.

Cornering will take a bit of getting used to, but I can already feel myself getting a little more comfortable when riding.

Sexy as. Just not a fan of the exhaust. The tip looks too long.

That is EXACTLY what i'm looking for as my first bike, you bas**rd!!

Haha, im just jealous. It looks beautiful, and I happen to like the exhaust as it is. But a deeper sound would be nice on the newer zaust you're putting on.

Very very nice. Although im looking for a much older model, seeing as my budget is only ~£800

Im his brother my bike is a Honda NSR 125...mine is faster but his sounds much better especially with this new exhaust. I also need to fill up at least twice or three times before he needs to fill up once. It's a nice bike.

Is that a 125cc twin, or is one of those barrels a fake?

[Clone]

Yes it's a twin

oi leave hyosung alone think there great looking bikes, and the 250 is supposedly better than the ninja250. Shame about the name it sounds so cheap. Having said that mine was £400

i was originally going to buy a comet... and if hyosung prove to be a decent manufacturer i might get their 650 super sport bike (GT650R?)

But imagine how hard spares must be to get

I don't like the look of the naked one, looks too much like a gs500!

The faired one is the sex though!
