Deadly bike, well wear.
Only because he's a wanker. I used to like his stuff when he was just the Baron but once he teamed up with 44 Teeth he turned into a right little prick.
Anyway, happy thoughts.

So, what's it like!?:)
Fast.
VERY fast.
I've put 8,500 kms on it in the last 12 months including a big trip in Europe.
Things I like:
1) It has power in every gear.
2) The noise of it will put a smile on your face every time you bring it above 5000rpm.
3) It's a real head turner, there is so much attention to detail on it. Proper italian superbike.
4) It's so easy to ride fast.
5) I love the screen and the polished swing arm and Frame.
6) Optional extra, Brake caliper vents, Bluetooth system, usb charger.
The wheels.
7) I like the fact it has a big fuel tank
8) The electronics are excellent
9) Did I mention the noise?
Things I don't like:
1) No heated grips (I had these on the S1000RR)
2) Seat is basically a board with a small bit of material over it.
3) the Lean sensors dont show you the max lean you've done. (You cant look at the dash when you're in a bend like, s1000rr did this.)
Things that I "noticed":
1) You need the Pirelli Supercorsas on it to make the most of it. Don't bother with a Rosso Corsas or S21s/S22s etc. Waste of money. It's a Big back tyre too (200 not a 190) so it's expensive. (€250 for a back tyre.)
2) It could do with a semi active suspension, (2020 model has this addition). I've set mine up for me so it's grand 95% of the time unless I'm on a ****ty road.
3) The matt black finish makes it extremely difficult to get a good picture of it. Pictures don't do this bike justice.0 -

Fair dues it sounds like a proper handful. Have you had any mapping or dyno runs done?
Yer not a wee fella, what's it like for "comfort" inverted commas as that's relative:D0 -

It’s photoshopped :pac: I never went outside the door
Last night was only my second spin out on it in 2 months. Went as far as Fermoy on the old Dublin Road and back. What a machine is all I can say. Was also the first opportunity I had to try out my new leathers received last weekend, the feckin’ mirrors are a nightmare though. Anything over 40 and they kept blowing out of place plus they’re as much use as a chocolate teapot0 -

Hahaha, when I bring her to Ireland you might learn to like me as well as the bike.
Hoping to Club Style it, so something like this. Just ordered the fairing and seat so far, next up is risers and then pegs etc.0 -

Commute the odd day during the summer and then clean it up or mod it over the winter. I have to say I do like the matt black and wrapped exhaust look on these bikes. Now go gentle as I know Hyosung dont have a great rep around these parts:o
Try to keep ahead of the cleaning 😉
