Just wanna say, this bike isn’t Chinese, it’s designed and made in South Korea, so think of this as the KIA of motorcycles lol

Looks good for Harley fans on a tight budget. One positive about the plastic bits is that they wont rust. If the mudguards and side panel were metal they'd probably be cheap metal.

For the money how can anyone complain? If you wanted a HD clone to use in all weathers all year long i would buy it. Still got mono shocks front and rear so you get quite a bit for your money. A good 365 day cruiser to work and back. i do love your interruptions just kind of British...LOL....Great honest review...

The bikes a beast I have the 125 version and I absolutely love it

Good and comprehensive review, am enjoying the range of motorcycles that you are reviewing, keep up the good work......

im looking at something for a first bike and getting into the bike world. don't know anything about bikes, but this seems like a great option and this really review really helped. that skoda moment was priceless

Plastic parts aren't an issue on such bikes, they are lighter than metal which is a plus on such small displacement bike.

Wow that's a efficient I swear it's less than a week i mentioned reviewing this bike. Thumb's up 👍

6:53 that did make me chuckle. Great review as always. I kinda like that bike 😉

Thanks for your honest opinion on the bike mick

Great review. If you want a Harley, save a little more because this is a totally different experience. No comparison. I'm American and although I like Harleys they are down the list of bikes I personally look to own. If you like the Hyosung, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it because I believe the company is established and makes a decent quality product. Might check dealer support and parts availability in your region though. I love my Kymco, but our support here is not good these days (the bike is built well though). I will also say that if it's a matter of having a motorcycle and the experience or saving and not riding...get what you can to ride now. The experience of riding is more important then the motorcycle. If I was on a budget and looking for something simular, I'd get a RE Meteor 350. I'm to the point of liking bikes that are built like you'll be able to own them for decades and will still want to have them in the stable. I'm not sure if that makes sense. One of the top bikes on my list for a next bike is RE INT 650.

I would rather get myself a re meteor or interceptor.

Royal Enfield all day long! I’ve really been enjoying your videos keep up the good work! 😃

Looks good and yes think would sound better with an after market exhaust

If this had been available when I was an 18-year-old, my tongue would have been hanging out. I think it's a good-looking bike now. If it was a 600 cc, it would be a real challenger to the Sportster 883. I prefer my feet further back. Hyosung is Korean.

It might feel nippy next to a Meteor but that’s an air cooled single. Have a go on an MT-03 to see how much go a water cooled twin of this capacity can make when we’ll engineered. (About 30% more)

Nice video. I just miss the exhaust sound when you just run the motor but you're unmounted and check how's the sound closely. It's nice to see. But again, thank you for the video. It was great.

I have the 125 verson of it and its a great bike i have only had a couple problems with it the clutch switch has died twice make sure you slather it in ACF-50 second was when i hit a pothole and the domebolt on the right shock dented the exhaust but apart from that no problems and i have done 12.500 miles on it.

Thanks for the review. I think if I had £4000 I would buy a used bike with a bit more go. I like the look of it though and I would ride it. But I think I would get bored. The meteor 350 is a nice bike but lacks power my 40 mile commute. My garage is full with Triumph america and GPz 500 any way so it's irrelevant 😂

I can't help but like the hyosungs and sinnis bikes. They are the Aldi and Lidl of the bike world and they always impress me when I see them for real. I still really want to see you review the Kawasaki Vulcan S, especially with the performance version with the headlight cowl and arrow exhaust because it seems like every time you review bikes like these there is always some compromise in handling or speed or comfort or what have you and the Vulcan S, for me, bridges all those gaps, especially if you have the right adjustments for your height

Altough you are right on almost every point you make, and the bike does not look to small, it just laughs at the HD at every service, fuel stop and range test. But for looks and sound nothing beats the HD. But in the 300cc range i'd rather have the Verseys X. Cant get around 12700 rpm sounds.

could've sworn hyosung is korean.

Nearly bought the old GV650 Aquila waaaaaay back in the day as a sort of 3/4 sized Harley Vrod. Bought the GT650 Comet instead and....... well I should've spent the extra few hundred quid and gotten a Suzuki SV650, sexy yellow full fairing be dammed. I've had two strokes that where more reliable. I didn't even realise Hyosung where still a thing.

The thing that gets me is how this is comparatively expensive to the Meteor yet has a butt ton of plastic. I’m not sure if this bike’s overpriced or that one is a crazy bargain.

Hi there! Is there any connection with the Keeway 302 cruiser, QJ SRV300? Looks so similar in many ways.

Nice looking bike

You look ok on it .it good 👍

This is what the Honda Rebel should have been.

Personally I'm getting a Honda CB 350 H'ness for my usual 6 months in Vietnam. My daily ride in Europe is a 1250 gs

Unfortunately this bike looks to small overall, but it is pretty powerful for 300cc it must be a fun ride.

I’m from the US. What was your top speed on this bike and will it keep up on Freeways at 75 to 85mph? Thanks and Love your Channel and Content! Cheers from Salem, Ohio US.

This is not a substitute to Harley Sportster fans on a tight budget. Only aestethics have some intentional ressemblance. It´s a utilitarian bike for short people, as many other "custom" bikes made in Asia with similar displacements from 125cc to 400cc. Having a V twin in this range of price means having something more in real world traffic? I have doubts. Is it in good conditions to be compared with Royal Enfield Meteor 350? I think not.

Hey yeah, you ARE a Harley rider now aren't you? ... Feels pretty good doesn't it? S

Haha that car. Shame the Meteor doesnt have more oompf and the 12L tank on this is a bit low for me. Plus it does look a bit small I think. Honda CB 500x or the Himalayan my top two as second bike. (Well to learn on as am gonna stick to 50bhp max prob)

Good for learners , but as you said it lacks character. Even with aftermarket pipes it would'nt sound like a Harley.

Front and rear mono shocks on the Hyosung?

The selling point for me is that v twin engine - cheap enough to make a little chopper out of?

I think it's pretty cool it's a v-twin. Most are thumpers.

Can't understand why the gap between the seat and the tank. Looks daft

The bike does look a bit small for you… I wish Honda brought the cb350 H’ness to the UK market to have a reliable brand and easily available parts in a classic/retro style small cc bike.

Drama from the harley lol so not shaking itself to death and paying through the nose to keep it going

Looks cool, sounds dull. The after market support and the resale value is what would have me worried. With most things, the poor man ends up paying more than the rich man, keeping the poor man poor and the rich man rich. The poor man buys a cheap pair of boots that last a year. He needs a new pair next year, and buys another cheap pair. After 3 years, he's paid more than the rich man that could afford the good pair of boots that lasted all that time, and more. The poor man buying a car gets financing, which bumps the total price up above what the rich man pays from the first day of ownership. And don't get me started on credit cards. Now, if you buy a cheap bike, my thought is that it would depreciate more than the Harley, making the poor man, again, lose more money than the rich man. My 2c.

Utterly horrible. Royal enfield all day long at that size bike. Ting tong airfix kit

Like the look of the bike, but I read that the reliability and quality of the Hyosung’s are not very good. If you fork out £4-5k for this, you might as well fork out an additional £3-4k for an used, low mileage Iron, and save yourself the headache.

To me it's cheap and nasty. I guess you get what you pay for. Definately not my cup of tea. Good review though Mr Darcy👍👍

its no harley , thank goodness ;;; its a bit different being a v twin , but thats about it , the royal enfields have a better spares backup , the harleys have the best spares choice, comparing these to a harley is a no no . just buy the harley ;;

What's all this 'high sun' business on the screen text?

I have to say, to be nice, that's just not the bike for me. And Comparing it to a Harley, or RE is just blasphemy, 😆

you are only 6 1 , i am 6 2 , lots of people are taller than us , makers are saving money buy making bikes smaller i guess ,, if they dont cater for us then vote with your feet [ and cash ] and leave them to it . just buy a used sportster for 4 grand and leave this recycled stuff alone , ;;;

I like plastic

Hyosung is not Chinese. Also Hyosung pronouncse as in H-yo-sung not Hi-o-sung

not chinese , hyosung- korea

No

My lawn mower has more torque 😂

Oooo, careful now! Comparing an HD to anything else may get you put on an HD blacklist - No more loans of HDs for reviewing.... I wish manufacturers of these 350, 400cc etc engined ex125cc bikes would make larger frames for them. That way I could get my 6'4'' body on them without looking even more of a tw@ than normal. (Looking at you Hyosung, Mash, AJS etc etc)

NO

Front and rear monoshock suspension? Listen to the video at 2:56 to hear an obvious mistake/lie. You need to check the verbage before final editing. And it is Korean, NOT CHINESE!
