hello everyone..i have just signed up to this forum and it looks very good.now to the question.does anyone here have any experience of hyosung bikes? i have been looking at the 125 comet gt,seen one on the road and it looks like a bandit,are they cheap rubbish or incredible value for money?..looking forward to any replies....Sam

I know nothing about the Hyosungs but Welcome!

My son Alex has a Comet which new bought new a couple of weeks ago. He's done a fair few miles on it already and so far it's been great. It aint perfect by any means but it's a whole heap better than some learner bikes and they hold their value well.
The only real problem he's had is the gear lever is very short and he's got big feet but he says he's getting used to it.
He's doing Dudley to Oxford on it tomorrow morning so we'll see how it goes on a longer trip.

Just got my comet today. Its a 53 reg. I don't have much knowledge of bikes but I think its great. Other then the L plates its a real head turner. Have had loads of people ask me what size it is already. Im having the same problems with the gear lever too. Im not gonna get used to it though Im gonna make a new one. Ive already gotten 60mph out of it. When I get it sorted the way I want it I'll try and write a little review of it. There really isn't enough info on the net about them to do them justice.

im going to glasgow tomorrow(sat) for a closer look.who knows! this time tomorrow i could be a comet owner ... if i could get a good second hand one at the right price ,,,thanks for the reply's..i'll let you all know how the trip tomorrow goes......Sam

the story so far>>>>>>>>went to glasgow on saturday,battled through all the football traffic and when i got to the place it was closed.so i went to east kilbride on sunday seen the bike ,liked it, bought it, and the clutch on my car packed in on the way home ..now then..can anybody tell me where i can get a hugger for the hyosung,as its based on the GS 500 frame will a hugger to suit this fit.or do i take the bike to a shop and let them decide which would be the best type to get..i dont mind adapting it a wee bit if i have to...cheers guys......Sam

Follow the ongoing saga of Alex's Comet here. I'll vouch for a steady 71mph!

Fitting a hugger should be a pretty straight forward job. There's loads of room - it's just a case of try some and see I reckon.

Call me stupid but what is a hugger? I take it its not some one on pillion

A friendly pillion - could be




Hah it's a mudguard for the back wheel that keeps a bit of general crap off the rear shock and engine. Hugs the back wheel see! Oh, and they look cool too

Have a look in hein gerricke catalogue. They sell em.
