Hi Guys,
I had my bike painted pearly white (like the 848) with black front mudguard (so it wasnt overkill)

https://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g12/adamck/P1010276.jpg

Do i leave it be?
or should i go ahead and paint the bottom of the fairings black like my original photoshop to give a more 3 piece fairing look (again like the 848)

https://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g12/adamck/white.png

I have the paint and it wont cost anything to do it...

Do it or leave it?

I'd say get a rear hugger in white as well Wink

But then I'm a sucker for havng colour matched everything Shocked

Edit: And maybe a seat cowl. I know there was one that looked Fugly as anything but I do remember on korider.com (I know you're on it) that someone made much better ones...

Personaly i prefer the photoshopped one, its a bit too white at the moment i think the black would look good at the bottom, not sure on the busa sticker, seen a few like it and never been sure.

I like it with a bit more color mate,,
"Wouldn't mind having a go on the new 1000/1200 they're bringing out"
sadly thats not going to happen in the future m0l0t0v, When Hyosung branched out over here they were going to be spending millions on advertising and franchise, But alas all the promises of bigger bikes like the Aquilla that I have that was going to be released in the future as a 1000 or even 1400 were just pipe dreams.
It seems Hyosung has enough sales overseas like Australia and USA and they feel the market is already flooded with bikes over here. Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Its sad but true,
On the up side If you are lucky like I am and have a good one keep hold of it because they will start to disappear over here.
Or so I have been reliably told
Tony

Well that blows Sad

The 250 is a friend of mine's but I have ridden it for 1k miles. It was good fun apart from the lack of power (onyl a 250 mind). Could do with an aftermarket exhaust Twisted Evil

It's still sat in my garage from when he bought it last July/August Laughing

i cant see them dissapearing too quickly.
They have the GT650X at NEC bike show and barrus where very pleased to show it off and had prices for it.
Then im sure they will get there hands on the 1000cc / 1200cc fuel injected ones as soon as they come out.
They seem to be pretty successful all over the world cant see many dissapointed poeple over at korider.com

m0l0t0v - let me know if ur mate fancies selling the 250 Wink my mate is interested in one.

This is my opinion but I have the Aquilla GV650 v-twin and I can say that it give plenty of pull and bottom end grunt as well as a decent top end, Its never going to win any races but it will happily cruise at 110, 115. Sorry officer 70

we will see but like I said dont hold your breath for anything bigger than the 650 units over here,
Dont take my remarks the wrong way I love my Hyosung to the extent that I had to get rid of my Bandit or the Hyosung and the bandit went
