Pinkyfloyd Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Hyosung are one of the better Chinese makes. You'll still get metal made out of toffee and corrosion issues which will have you spending more time cleaning and polishing than riding but its a harder kind of toffee than some of the other bike makes coming out of there. My advice would be save up the pennies and get a second hand bigger bike from one of the longer established makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I thought Hyosung were actually Korean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
