My Hyosung Comet GT125

This is my first bike and I'm having some good fun on it. Seems to pull heads quite well, often I have people coming up to me amazed that its a 125cc bike Very Happy

Apart from the engine it does look like a bigger bike and the 17l fuel tank seems to never run out Very Happy

. Might need to get some new rubber for it though as it doesn't feel to nice in wet.

Thanks

The top speed I have had out of it is just over 80mph going down a steepish hill, but usually cruises at about 65mph.

Hey thats my bike! you stole it,bring it back...now Laughing

I've had just about 80 out of mine downhill but I was a bit concerned about the rev counter being well into the redline,it sounded like the engine was about to go into orbit...perhaps thats why they call them Comets Shocked

Seriously though I reckon its a brilliant bike and like you said I've had many people ask me if it really is just a 125,I took it to a bike meet near me back in the summer and loads of people were swarming around it asking me loads of questions about it...who needs a Harley to get lots of attention?! Very Happy

hehehe i know what you mean about well in the red I think i was near 15000rpm when I got to 80 and the engine did sound quite worrying lol.

Shame it doesn't make loads of women run over to it as well Sad

lol

They look lovely for a 125, and sound every bit as good as they look Very Happy

so...when can i have a go? Razz

Ade067 · Scooby Slapper Joined: 21 Apr 2004 Karma :

You can have a go anytime,just leave me a nice full wallet and take it on Laughing

And yeah they do sound lovely,that V twin just loves to be revved Smile

125 V-Twin? Sweet Thumbs Up

What does it sound like? Do you have to work the engine or does it have plenty of torque? I always assumed all 125s had single cylinder engines.

Yeah, lovely bike, although I always thought the 250 version (exact same bike bar the engine cc) is more sensible, only £300 more and is tapping on the 33bhp restriction.

I have to say, I think they're the nicest looking 125's Smile

WELLL, NOT INCLUDING THE MITO Wink

They do sound nice when your sitting on it, but I don't think its load/grunty enough for people at a fair distance away. I can't really say much about torque seeing as this is the first bike I have ever owned/ridden, but goes good enough for me Very Happy

There are a few 125's with V-twins I have seen a few 125 cruisers with em.

Thanks guys

Theres a Roadwin 125 which is exactly the same frame and engine but diffrent wheels and costs about a grand more.

Tried to find the Hyosung dealer in Ealing and looks like they have moved or closed down Sad

Ade067 · Scooby Slapper Joined: 21 Apr 2004 Karma :

I've seen a pic of the Roadwin in Whatbike? mag,the frame is very similar but not identical,also the engine is a single and not a V twin.
According to Whatbike the price is £2,399 which is actually a bit cheaper than the Comet but I know which bike I prefer Wink

Here ya go,I've found a pic of it...

It was a small pic hehehe Razz

Ade067 · Scooby Slapper Joined: 21 Apr 2004 Karma :

LOL

Any old excuse...

Whatbike did actually give it a fairly good review although they say they haven't ridden it yet,they did however give the Comet a great review and the last few words of that review sums it all up in my opinion...and I quote..."Why aren't more 125s this good"

Agreed. Thumbs Up

But then I would agree to that wouldn't I
Very Happy

Project9928 · Traffic Copper Joined: 19 Oct 2004 Karma :

It was really on that review and the road test that they did on the 250cc version that made me decide to get a comet and i'm glad i did Very Happy

Any company that says that with a 4t 125 bike, can't be for real...

V-twin better, Comet looks better etc.

Ade067 · Scooby Slapper Joined: 21 Apr 2004 Karma :

Well Hyosung's slogan for the Comet is "Nice achievement".

I'd say they are quite right Thumbs Up

Project9928 · Traffic Copper Joined: 19 Oct 2004 Karma :

I wish i could have those 3 spoke wheels Sad

Spiral · Traffic Copper Joined: 17 Jul 2004 Karma :

Must be 2 different versions of the 125, the front forks are different and the brake disks are to also looks like tires as well, though still a very nice bike 'V-twins' Twisted Evil
