The First American Korean Bike ;-)
« Reply #30 on: December 11, 2006, 11:48:52 AM »
Cycle world drove the bike to jay lenos garage, Jay was not impressed...., at all. Cheap looking bike, $5999.

I have bought the chinese honda 70 copy, a small kid cant break it but its really built cheap, clutch and brakes wear in a 10th of the time the honda lasts.
I think thats good for the person trying to save some money and the kid isnt a hard rider yet, and you wont be keeping the bike long.
But a 650 street bike, at not much of a savings (unlike the 70 which is on sale for $299). Im not paying 6 large for a bike I KNOW isnt the build quality of a honda. But it cant hurt the market that the Koreans are trying??
