...until you are riding along and the bike disintegrates into a cloud of rust and you're left holding the handlebars and can't find the rest of your bike.
Lol, getting better? Aw come on, better than truly abysmal is still somewhat abysmal.
Resale value is terrible. Maintenance and repairs are very high. Appearance is low-quality when you look closely. Price is similar to lightly used and VASTLY superior machines....
Marginal improvements are not what they need. They need to change their business model and build higher quality machines rather than continue with their "cheapest-possible-way-to-make-it" business concept.
They should be pretty easy to refuse, even for a new rider with bright eyes and bushy tail.
It's ok Lone, the market needs crap like that, so that Yamaha, and Japan Inc, can build better bikes that take the cheapr manufacturers at their own game...take the Yamaha India built, R150, it looks the bomb, has Yamaha design, and has some pretty basic, but well functioning kit, and they are cheaper than most ofthe Hyosungs!!!
If i was a kid, at least now i would have choice, that didnt exist before Yamaha got smart a couple of years back....cause a Ninja 250, etc, are not cheap for a kid! The new R150 from Yamaha is!!! Nice one!
