  • The little Hyosung really earning her keep....

    Good video..

  • @teamfab The ZX10 and the HYO left the rest of the group, me included, for dead. Goes to show what a well setup bike and a great rider can accomplish

  • i dont buy into the whole "liter bikes are heavier" idea.

    Its something small bike guys say to feel fast.

  • @jowek70 It has less to do with weight and more to do with Gyroscopic forces created by the additional mass of a litre bike and it's motor

  • @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

  • 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!

  • @teamfab The little HYO was pushed hard and asked for more.

  • @cyclesportstv A very enjoyable video, the wee Hyosung just having a ball, just what bikings all about, well done..

  • @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?

  • This video really shows how cheaply the Hyosung is made....... the instrument cluster looks ready to either fall off or just fall apart where it is!

  • @cyclesportstv learn how to spell whether.. ?

    retard.

  • Lee can really ride!
