General Comments
I have a Hyosung XRX 125 SM 2007 model in Orange/Black, and i've had this bike for just over a month now, i know that isn't long enough to right a review, but in the time i've had it, it really has impressed me.

First of all the name makes my mates laugh, as they think it's a "fall apart in 5 minutes chinese bike" but just like the expert reviewer said on here, it's actually a bike made from a Korean company. The engine is also a copy of a Suzuki GS 125, which is very reliable bike.

Forget the name, forget all that, what makes this bike so impressive is what it delivers. The performance is amazing for a 125, especially at an affordable price.

The cost to run the bike is probably the most cost efficient bike out there. The fuel doesn't just gargle up like some bikes. it costs around £4 to fill the tank up, it does 90 miles to the gallon, the oil hardly ever needs changing, as it hardly ever goes down, the brake fluid is just the same. You can even pick this bike up for crazy prices. I've seen them for £400. I however, bought mine for £1050 as it was almost new and from a trusted friend.

I have been on bikes before, tried out Aprilia RS125's, been on plenty of Suzuki's and nothing compared to this. Although the top speed on other 125 bikes can be about 120mph, i have got 70mph out of mine, and some people have got 80 - 85mph. It's acceleration isn't the best off the spot, but you sure can change into second, then third really quickly and get that boost.

It's a smooth ride, suspension is great, you can just glide over potholes, gently bounce of speed ramps, and it all feels perfect. The seat is comfy, there's room for a passenger, and 2 foot pegs that they can use. One of the best things (in my opinion) about this bike, is the engine sound. When you start her up, it just has a beefy roar to it, sounds really nice, especially when you go into a petrol station at night, and once you've paid, get back on your bike and start the engine, it sounds so loud and echoes in the station. That's pretty cool.

It looks like professional bike, not cheap or tacky, it looks solid and classy, especially for a trails bike. I've seen this bike in many colours, Black/Yellow, Black/Orange, Red/White, Blue/White, and they all vary so they will at least have one design that appeals to someone.

I have really enjoyed this bike, and i still have plenty more time to get everything out of it. This bike has lasted for years with other riders, and they haven't had any problems. As long as you respect it and don't go out 24/7 thrashing it, then this will go a long way.

If your looking for a first bike, with a quite some power, and don't want to go straight onto a scooter or a 2 stroke bike that isn't reliable, then this is the perfect bike to start off with.

Hope this helps.
