@armigerlives Not really. The instrument cluster on that bike was attached by a temporary mount, while the permanent one was being machined. We actually decided to completely replace the stock gauges. We went with a easier to read aftermarket KOSO unit. I never liked those stock gauges.
That mount actually broke that day and we needed to pull a McGuiver to finish the weekend
@cyclesportstv So I'm not seeing things the whole thing was moving more than it should have. I ride a '03 Z1000 and like most bikes the quality of the gauges and whatnot is quite good. All the Hyosungs I have looked at scream that they are made on a very very tight budget. How are the engines though? Any reliability issues?
@vaestanfors The rider is very smooth in general. Lee Parks of Total Control Training, has been teaching people how to be better riders for years. It's amazing what he can do on two wheels
Rider skill is paramount in situations like this. Weather it's a car or bike. This is an example of w well handling low HP motorcycle keeping up, in the turns, with a far more powerful bike. The rider of the ZX10 is also a very fast rider and club racer. He just didn't feel the need to do 160 down the straights on public roads. On a straightway, the ZX10 would have left the little Hyo in the dust. The Hyo was able to keep up in the corners though.
It takes a lotta car and a lotta driver to beat a little bike.
Only way any turbo car is beating a rider up a twisty mountain road is if you put Keith Code on a ninja 500r and Marco Andretti in a f430. And even then im putting my money on Keith :P lol
I've had a hyosung 650 and an r6s and a mustang gt.I know what's what capable of ,especially on straight road as I mentioned.my r6 was a ten second flat bike,but come 130 the speed just slowed dramtically.any 600 horsepower car would take me on the top past 100.I am real,and they are not decades ahead,fuel injection pretty recently came out for bikes..so to correct you cars are decades ahed of bikes.btw,I'm both a car and bike guy.two very fun different roads@jowek70
Basicly you have a rider on the powerful bike who does not have the skill or confidence to give it some grunt in the corners. It's the better rider not the bike that makes the difference. Hence the hyosung catching up in the corners. Swop riders and watch the zx blow away the hyosung
You couldn't be more wrong! LOL The rider on the ZX10 is a very fast but safe rider and former racer. If he wanted to pull away in the straights, he could have easily. 160hp vs 65hp. He chose not to act a fool and rip down the straights at 150mph.
The rider of the Hyosung is Lee Parks, former championship racer and now one of the top instructors in the world. The demonstration shows that you don't need 160hp to be fast in the turns. You do need a great handling bike and riding skills!
The Dash has since been replaced. It was actually on a temporary mount that broke on that ride. Check out the Track video of the Hyosung to see the cool new gauges
@p35neo2 Mate pull out the restrictor at about 1000k, dont worry about the learner stuff, as long as it has LAMS on the build plate, cops cant tell unless its dyno'd (or you get caught at over 200kph). Fenominal amount of difference. 2nd Gear power wheelie.
The suspension on this thing is great...now...not so great stock. Next to no damping up front with very light springs, way too much damping in rear. I weight 295 and the bike now handles incredibly well. Thanks to Race Tech. Huge improvement over stock
agree with most of the comments the hyo was working hard but and the adverage suspension showed up good ride guys you should see our new zealand back roads but.
Hey how do you like that Hyo? I've been thinking of maybe really getting one. Do you have any complaints? Are parts hard to get since not too many people know about these bikes? And yes nice riding, looks like a fun area to enjoy.
It is a great starting point. It's what you would expect quality wise for a bike like this and you have to do some upgrades as your skills progress. This one has a full Race Tech Suspension with custom rear shock. It handles great! Now I have to upgrade the so so brakes
Great, where do you get all your parts from, online? This will be my first bike and would like to know where to get parts for my Hyo when something goes bad. LOL
Nice riding. The lead rider is clearly good, and I like how you both ride fast without being stupid. Too many riders are fast and stupid, but not for very long! That 7:35 deer would have been a big deal if you guys just pinned the throttle on every straight bit, esp w/ the inevitable overheated brakes that go along. Fun to watch, although that shaky ass cluster on the Hyosung gave me a headache. Cheers!
I'm glad you noticed that the riding was fast but not reckless. Our group of riders is actually very safety oriented and we always stay well within our limits. The gauge setup on the Hyo was a temporary mock up bracket. We converted it to a naked bike and need a temporary mount. It was never intended for that type of use...BTW the mount broke at the end of the day (200 miles later)
The little Hyosung really earning her keep....
