this is my brother in laws new bike !!!!!! defo a HD lookalike..
its a 650 vtwin out of their sv650 sportsbike,
180/17 back tyre (battleaxe),
usd forks, 4pots, twin discs...not a bad ride for a cruiser...
oh and a cool dash..

but it will fall to bits in a couple of years,hd dont

it does look pretty convincing, not a bad looking bike either if you like that sort of thing. looks to be well engineered aswell considering hyosung are fairly new compared to well established manufactuers aswell as been bugdet based machines. seems like these latecomers to motorcycle production are improving dramaticly, dont like that great big silencer tho but that can be changed easy enough.

Don't let Col see it .

i wud not dream of buying one but £3500 new ,trade price. his mate is in the businesss,
You can pick them up from dealers for £4500 new as well a bit of a bargain i say....COL you like?

to late mate
already been looking at them up at fastline in preston.
the wife wants something different and she's really taken with these.
they are very managable for a custom and carry their weight very low
which wife loves as she aint very tall but it gives the confidence to haul the bike around at low speed.
chrome dont look the best i've ever seen but i've seen worse.
believe it or not, they got a very good write up in the mags.
they've shamelessly nicked the styling from the hardly movingson Vrod.
dont know if she'll get one now as we've got stuff on the horizon that'll meen all bikes being sold but its still a nice beginners/lady's bike.

Not another one quitting the UK? Have i guessed right?

If so, please leave the lights on when you go, as the immigrants wont be able to find the welfare office.

col are you leaving us?
I have four years left in the mob then im outta here........

leave the country to those who know how to scam the most out of it without putting anything in....

looking into new zealand.
cant rush things as the eldest (16) aint to keen and wants to go through college here before he goes anywhere, so i'm stuck for a couple of years, but the aplication could take months and we aint applying till later on this year.
the wifes a brainy flip and has degrees coming out of her ears so thick as pig shit me will just tag along for the ride
seriously though, this place is shite and will only get worse, i cant stomach it for much longer. if nz doesnt work out it WILL be somewhere else.

the xr's up for grabs on ebay today to part fund a trip over there later this year, and i've got a list of places that are must see's for me before we go. so i've got about 2 years to get in as much european touring as i can (on the bike of course, what a great excuse ) this year i'm hoping to get to central/southern france, later italy(florence,milan,rome,tuscany and the northern lakes) if anyone fancies coming along just give me a shout.

if it lasts a couple of years, you're damned lucky you got a good one

NZ is not easy to get in. (Pity it's not like that here) My brother tried a few years back and missed out by one point, a pity he never got in as he could have sponsored me so i could get out there to. Property is loads cheaper so you should be able to buy a house easily if you have one to sell over here. I worked with a lot of Kiwi's in the North Sea, and they reckoned the money was not that good down under, but the quality of life was much better. Really nice people, and a lot quieter than there fosters swilling neighbours. Good luck with it mate, i would have a go myself but i dont think there is a demand for 43 year old delivery drivers in NZ .

the wife has enough points at the moment and if she can secure a job before going she will get an extra 50 odd so hopefully we will be ok
might all go tits up but you've got to try, i feel a bit like snake in escape from new york, you know theres a way out, you've just got to find it

Whatever you choose Colin, all the best.

The real McCoy...

This site is getting a little bit camp .
