2021 Hyosung GV300s Bobber - Exclusive First Ride Review

Күн бұрын

The Hyosung GV300s Bobber is the newest model in the Korean manufacturer's range and it brings a new V-Twin motor to the 300cc sector. There is no guessing the inspiration for the styling, but how does this small capacity cruiser stack up. Is it a great route into this style for new or cost-conscious riders? Have Hyosung hit the nail on the head?
In this short review, I try to bring as many of the key points into focus for prospective buyers as I can. So does it make for a bargain bobber?

GV300 is very good bike. Powerful, soft and accellaration, height of seat, seat position, design, price, etc. everything is very good. I love him.

As a new machine that's approachable I suspect it will sell reasonably well, particularly those who are price conscious. And if they discount them to build marketshare, the consumer will be the winner.

I actually really like this! I've got an SV650S and even when I say "I'm just going for a cruise", I end up getting too into the groove, but this is what I want to get as a second bike. If I get it, I will be submitting it to a lot of my local companies (Lextek, Hel, ETC) for them to use it as a base to make parts. But I think a throaty exhaust, bar end mirrors, uprated shocks, thicker fork oil, a whole redo of yhe brake system and maybe the Dunlop Mutant tyres and it will be golden for me at least. Good review, Tony!

Good little bike. I bet it fairly goes when you work the gearbox. If I was 18 again, I would love it. If it wasn't for the heel / toe gearchange, I'd rather have the Meteor, given I'm not 18 anymore. Good video, Tony.

I was thinking of getting one however hearing about the tyres. The vibration and the dodgy switch gear I think I'll leave it

Vous oubliez de parler d'un élément important : le look... en plus des qualités reprises dans la vidéo, il faut dire qu'elle a de la classe et il n'y a guère de concurrence dans ce style de moto et pour le permis A2. Bien sûr, la Honda 500 rebel se veut être aussi un custom, je l'avais regardée aussi, mais hors le prix elle est surtout... beaucoup moins belle! La Rebel ne fait guère Bobber/dark custom, elle fait juste routière, et perso je trouve le bloc moteur de la Rebel juste affreux, rien à voir avec la Hyosung 300, que j'ai finalement choisie. Ce n'est pas pour rien non plus que la Hyosung est esthétiquement "inspirée" de la HD Iron 883.

C'est vrai, il n'y a pas beaucoup de motos dans ce secteur qui emportent aussi le look. Mais si vous en possédez un, je pense que la longévité serait une considération et que c'est là que quelque chose comme le Rebel 500 offre plus. Les deux feraient d'excellents vélos, donc tout dépend de vos préférences personnelles. Merci d'avoir regardé et commenté

@rumblefish8265 2 жыл бұрын

is it really meant for roads like that? and under £4,000 pounds, it's suitable enough. certainly cannot be comparable to the rebel 500 and those other bikes.

Roads like what? I rode the bike on normal everyday roads.
