Hi

Hyosung are not Chinese. They appear to be fairly well made.

All the best

yea thats heading along the A249 in maidstone, summer evening, around 8pm, no wind, flat road, sitting at about 11,000 rpm with him and me folding like a set of deckchairs

Must say though, its had a very easy life before hand and i did run it careful for about an hour before picking him up, bike was probably at its peak condition then.

Hi

Trouble is that would probably need almost 20hp to get that sort o speed with a pillion.

All the best

If you're referring to the Hyosung GT125R, and you have the money wupwup, don't hesitate, go for the GTR!

I currently have a Hyosung XRX 125, which is an Enduro, and i love it, never let me down. On the day i got my XRX, i had a look at the GT125R, it was £1495, and had done about 5000 miles, it was the red and black one, and honestly, if it wasn't for the L plates, i'd have thought it was a 600, it's a terrific bike size wise, and it's lovely to ride

I had a go on it up the road from the Motorcycle dealers, i managed 50mph due to running out of road, and for such a huge bike with a V-Twin 125 engine, it had decent acceleration, the gearbox was smooth, and being a 4 stroke, with a Scorpion end can, it made it sound amazing! I've said it before and i'll it again, if i had the money, i would of got the GT125R without hesitation.

If you want the looks, reliability and decent speed, then the Hyosung is the way to go, i've heard it can hit 85mph, and i think there's a video of it topping 141kmh on Youtube, not to sure?

Hyosung parts aren't as hard to get hold of as people think, Startright Motorcycles do mail order on their website, and have a range of Hyosung parts, which is where i bought my left mirror from for my XRX, they're a great service, they deliver fast and everything is reasonably priced

Like st3v3 said, they're Korean, and for a manafacturer that isn't well known, i'm impressed, and they are slowly getting recognised amongst the popular manafacturers such as Suzuki, Yamaha and Honda etc... Don't get put off when people say they Chinese, Hyosung's build quality is far better, and engines are almost bulletproof

If you go for a GT125R, i'll be very jelous

I would say about my XRX, which has been very reliable and never let me down, done thousands of miles on it, and it's been great fun, but since it's an Enduro and you're looking for something like a CBR or NSR, then you probably won't like it...

Could always look into some Crosser/Enduro bikes, there's quite a few out there which are pretty fun to ride, and keep the reliability factor

Definitely check into the GT125R though, you won't be disappointed

Ah, a reasonable amount of sensible mods to the power, makes more sense. But then spend the same on a RS125 and you can be starting to get decent more powerful than that stock too.

I'd prefer just to save the money in the pot and use it for a 600 when you pass or whatever CC you want. IMHO of course.

It's entirely up to you. I'm fine staying with 70-80 until I pass my test.

I would like to go faster, but don't want to spend the money modding my CBR.

Is it just a rumour that people prefer buying vehicles with original stock parts over ones that have been modded? Or just me.

I'd prefer a stock bike so have a little bit extra faith in it not being tampered with on the inside by a nut job.

Yeah, fair play mate, i'd be gutted if i dropped my faired GTR and damaged it

The naked version is the GT Comet, which is also a brilliant bike, never seen or ridden one, but they are basically the GTR but naked. Apparently the Comet is less powerful, despite weighing less, anyone verify this?

Whatever Hyosung you go for, you won't regret it, but it's all up to you mate, all down to whatever tickles your fancy

There are some nice Supermotos out there to in the 125 class, and i'm even comtemplating getting a Supermoto instead of a Bandit when i pass my test, but they're just more expensive and fairly harder to come by. There's only 2 Suzuki DRZ's on eBay right now...

Best of luck with whatever you choose, keep us updated mate

the gtr125 has a similar style to the fairings on a 650, although not exact.
The gt is like 2-3kg less i think, that woul be the fairing and the mounting frame for it i guess!
