I bought an identical cruiser for my son. It was OK to ride. Build quality was sh1t and when he didn't clean it it looked like a pile of rust in a week.

I'm not sure about chinese bikes, but then I can remember when 'Made in Japan' was a big joke and look at Japanese stuff now.

The other thing I found with my sons bike was the suppliers dissapeared (for a while, came back later) and my local honda dealer, bearing in mind its a CG copy, basically told me to shove it where the sun don't shine - wouldn't touch it as it was, in their words, an illegal copy.

Then it got knicked

Quite a few people on the forum are starting to buy these and looks like hyosung are becoming a more recognised brand because of it

If you have any questions/queries about the bike feel free to add me, eddy-jones@hotmail.co.ukSPAM

Obviously removing the spam

Have fun!

hyosung are far far better than the chinese bikes,

there south korean and been making bikes since 1978, they have been making suzuki bikes under license since 1979.

As above they are Korean and have been developed in partnership with Suzuki.

Supposedly not as good as the Suzuki they are still not bad, just take care of them - they like being wet even less than Suzuki's do.

There were some found to have defective swinging arms once the rust monster bit so Hyosung offered a free recall on them. Speak to adealer and find out if yours are affected.

I know someone who has kept his 125 Comet for a nu,ber of years as a run around, despite now owning a Daytona.

If they are made in partenership with Suzuki, why are the engines copies of CG125's. At least that cruiser is.

ok thanks for the good replys.

after reading some reviews on the comet i was a bit put off,as most of the replys at the reviewcentre say its rubbbish and will fall to bits like the chinese crap.i really hope not because i love the style of the bike and the size suits me nicely.(5ft11" 17stone )

well ive got it now so only time will tell.

oh and 1 more thing.im told the style of the bike is known as a streetfighter style??is that right? then if it had fairings it would be a race rep? a little confused on what is what.

thanks for the replys...

Nah its not streetfighter style, its a naked bike.

Fairings don't make a race rep, it needs to be a rep of the bikes raced to be a race rep.

For street fighters see here https://www.streetfightersmag.com/

thanks for the replys...im just learning when it comes to road bikes as ive allways owned off road style bikes.

im now really liking the naked bikes,they are definately the ones for me.i reckon they look cool with the round headlight

planning on doing my d.a.s. soon so will be looking for a bike like the comet but with a bigger engine.
the comet engine looks huge but doesnt have much power in it.
it revs to 10krpm it is a 4 stroke isnt it? i cant see anywhere to put 2 stroke oil.

again thanks for the replys

oh and im gonna register on that site now.just wondering if anyone knows.can this bike be deristricted in any way?

It is a 4 stroke and it's not restricted. It's a 125 so it won't be amazing. And yeah, I prefer naked bikes too. That's why I settled for a Hornet instead of a CBR. Gonna change the headlight soon though. Probably for small twin round headlights. Dominators will make my Hornet look so much sexier.

Mind you I prefer the Comet when it's faired. I'll get a few pictures of my Hornet and my friends Comet 250R later.

And good on the tyres. Shinko are complete shite

Good source of parts for your Hyosung

The 250cc naked Comet is a bloody nice looking bike, I like the look of the spec too. I prefer the look of the RWU forks on your 125 though, the 250s have USD forks which look a bit odd imo.

How did you manage to get that for £500? Seems like a pretty good deal!

i dont know m8.its got me thinking now.maybe there is something wrong with it.went to fill it up this afternoon and at low revs its bogging down,gotta dip clutch back in and get the revs up a bit to make it go.absolutely fine in the higher revs.
maybe it just needs a good service.

doesnt feel right though,its like its got no torque.the little bit power it has got is only there in the high revs.

anyone local to me got one of these or know how it should go? could do with meeting up and getting someone to test mine.

sorry for the long post
