So basically i brought a hyosung 125 today. looks stunning as it is full gloss black. What I'm wondering is do you think it would look any better with hints of green and green glow on the tail and fairings. As I'm a bit of a Monster fan boy I'm thinking along the monster vinyls.

And you received a calm, collected and polite answer. We could go for the ballistic approach, if you want.

Why are you a monster fan boy?

It's just marketing, i dont see why anyone would aim to listen to it, it's like people who say "i'm confused.com!" just stop. This is why everything is so consumer focused Rolling Eyes


...Nice bike though Thumbs Up

Just leave it as it is, there's really no need lol
It already looks better than 90% of the 125s out there

It's theft bait though, i'd save the money and invest in security instead Thumbs Up

Edit: lol I can't believe I didn't notice you'd drew the green on in paint till just now... maybe I am actually retarded Cool


End of the day it's your bike, do what you want with it, but it'll cost money Wink

What I highly recommend is getting some house numbers stuck to it, then you can be as cool as me (almost)

Welcome to BCF, Where getting a straight answer is like getting blood from a stone...


Just leave it as it is man, the Hyosung Comet's look nice as they are, Even the unfaired versions don't look bad and its a brilliant colour... Black goes with everything.

What did you do with the old YBR? Wink

Get yourself a disc lock at the very least... There's a lot of recommendations security wise, the most put forth one seems to be the Cyclone V2, at a good price and everything you need, easy to wire up too, allegedly Thumbs Up

keeping it for a while, my dad wants to ride the road again, he has a GPZ 750 turbo in the garage. Been dead for about 19 years Sad I'm letting him use my YBR for the summer, unless he picks up another bike for the summer Smile

If you put monster sticker on that, you will have to be killed and after you`re dead you will be killed AGAIN Evil or Very Mad .

A nice bike Thumbs Up , dont spoil it with tacky stickers.

I'm still riding a 125 and I do ride outs sometimes, Like the Christmas Egg Run in Dumfries, and the Ride of Respect last week...

Met some new people and been on a ride up to the MCN motorcycle show with them from Dumfries to Edinburgh on a 125cc, Being on L plates doesn't mean you cant ride with the big boys, as they will avoid motorways anyways and take all the A/B Roads to there destination.

I see a few L platers around my area, But never spoke with any of them, One of them is a mutual friend though, Been to a ride down to Carlisle with him and some others who were on bigger bikes.


Pretty sure what most people do is if they see a bike, they just stalk them for a while, that's a "ride out" lol Wink
