Just another crappy import?
I'm interested in the GT125R, and i'm inmterested too know if they are actually a decent companty, or just another cheapo chinese company (even though they are korean)
Are spairs readily availible from a UK distributor, and are they a good quality?
I can get a new shape CG125 for 1.2k off my step dad, or get a GT125r for 1.5k
Naturally the CG isn't the coolesart bike around, compared to the Hyosung, So i'm hopping the GT125 is as reliable.
Any advice help, or reviews would be so much help.
Thanks Devans

Hyosung are Korean and alot better than Chinese. More than alot.
Basically the same as getting a Jap or Euro bike  ____________________ Don't practice it until you get it right, practice it until you don't get it wrong.

Not sure how true it is, but my local dealer who sells Hyosungs said that the engines are Suzuki - but i can't find any confirmation of this yet.
He also reckons that they're good bikes, you just need to spend more time maintaining them (tightening up all the bolts regularly) than Japanese stuff.
i sat on one, and it felt massive for a 125 and looked ok, but with all that extra weight i'm not sure they'll keep up with a lighter japanese equivalent.
MCN seemed to like them too. |

I have Comet GT125
I've not ridden my bike for a while now; I dropped it and the peg broke off, I just haven't got round to ordering a new one, until last night! Been over 1 month now.
It's a good bike and a really nice looking bike - in my opinion. I've been asked many a time what size of engine it has, and people are very surprised to find out it's only a 125. I have added a different exhaust to mine and it sounds great! The only thing that lets it down is the speed
On a calm day, it should do 60 without any problems. However, when it starts to get windy, the bike really struggles! It just feels gutless!
As I said, it's a nice looking bike, reliable and good on fuel, just isn't the fastest of bikes.
I bought my peg from here, they seem to have everything. Just need to wait on it being delivered now. ____________________ My Project - Honda CBR 600 F2/FM |
