    hi there i'm from the ukhyoowners club and im trying to arrange a london rally
    but to be honest im struggling a little to arrange a rally so im approaching as many hyo owners and riders to come and join us at the moment there is only a few of us based in london and we have not yet done a rally in london, however there are many rallies in the midlands and the north of england so if your from there parts there is quite a few meet ups you can attend

    I owned two when I lived in Korea - started on an old GV125, then had a GV250 for a while. Both great bikes, never a bit of trouble and they took me all over the country.

    I've heard the finish doesn't hold up well to the weather conditions this side of the world though. Then there's the depreciation, getting parts and so on, that just doesn't make them as attractive an option back in Ireland.

    Yes, but here in Ireland the main dealer is a big shop in Dublin with very big windows, on a road that's not a short kilometer, with a habit of adding extra zeros to price tags :D

    (I was in there a few days ago, saw they were stocking the "Indian Coast" helmets, the exact model I've seen for sale at €40 was selling for €150...that's a ridiculous mark up)

    the chromed ones get shabby rapidly with our weather unfortunately..

    the newer ones based on sv lumps (the gt650's) seem to be alright, once they sorted out the valve stem issues (stems breaking and falling into the engine :o )

    yer married to it though if you've bought new.. depreciate something awful

    i could imagine being married to worse lol, in london they dont really seem to depriciate that bad especially the 125's the larger models do a little, i own the full faired gt version so dont really have issues with rust forming some slight issues with origanal brake pads but around a 30 minute job to change them and only cost £30 for both front and back pads
