hyosung??? what's your take?

good morning,
what's the word out there concerning Hyosung scooters and cycles? especially 250cc. read some pretty decent reviews, of course, Asian products always get a knock. I would just like some personal experience info.....thanks.

They're Korean, not Chinese. And yes, they are pretty good machines, not easy to find all spare parts though.

they are good. I have actually been looking for a 650cc one for a good price. only thing is the parts are not easy to find.

I have one. I got 10000+ miles on it. Its been great. I'm selling it tomorrow. The time has come for a bigger scoot.

Depends on where you live. We sort of have a Hyosung dealer, meaning there is a guy with a couple old Hyosung machines from about five model years ago, but he does not have much for parts nor do I think he would even try to get them for you.

Decent machines, but unless you have a dealer that is pretty current with inventory and parts I personally would find something else. It is not a manufacturer with a strong network right now. Sym is in the same boat, but I would get a Sym before Hyosung just because they have a strong presence in Canada to get parts through. I bought Kymco, because I can swing a dead cat and hit a few reputable Kymco dealers where I live.

This is all just personal opinion.

thanks....things sound good so far. as for parts, always a concern, the cycle place deals with a lot of hyosungs, so that's good. I also noted that there appears to be a lot of parts online. thanks, so far.
