      BIG WELCOME!!!!!!

      You will love the GV-S bobber , as i know a few people in UK actually love it more after they start personalizing it  (beauty is of the beholder)

      But as a stock  looking bike,  Korea did a good job design wise!

      I will look forward to your pictures, we need more GV members 🙂

        Yes, so far it’s a little bit rainny and I’m still affraid of going out with the water on the road. I dont have feedback about the good or poor quality of this tyres that came with the moto… Here in Portugal all Keeway riders change their tyres for better ones. With Hyosung I really dont know…

        So in the UK (that rains a lot) do you have issues with the factory tyres  ??

      That is a very cool first motorbike, Rufino. I also admire your choice of past-time. Riding is excellent.

      Tips: Keep your eyes on the road ahead and around you. Look for things on the road like sand, water, oil, nails, stones … especially when turning. Warm-up the tyres on a straight road by carefully weaving left & right several times – not too aggressively, just need a bit of friction to heat the rubber.

      Lightly apply REAR brake FIRST then front brake to STOP or SLOW quickly. It makes the rear of the bike squat and takes some weight of the front tyre, which allows you brake harder than if you squeeze the front and rear brake at the same time. Turning your headlight ON in the DAY makes us a bit more visible to cars …. don’t trust any car … at all … ever.

        Hi ‘Laserbeam’,  tks for your tips. Here is mandatory by law to have the headlight ON all the time. So, all new m/c have always lights ON without the need to use the switch.
