Default Ahhh shit! Hyosung goes EFI

Just checked Hyosungs site and it looks like all 2010 models are EFI now.


I honestly love the looks of the bikes and have heard more good than bad about them. Ya I know all about the early years burning valves and etc but from '07 and up, I havent heard a horror story yet.

I have heard awesome things about them if you check everything over with a fine tooth comb. Lots of parts/bolts/nuts are loose is common.

what's wrong with EFI (other than the fact that you can't tinker with carbs)?

When they first came out 5 yrs ago they were much heavier than the competition, and their dashboard/gauges looked cheap as hell.

Buell has been around since 1983.


And they won an AMA national championship.
