yeah i was talking to him about some of them earlier, they seem to have laods out there gixxer250, Cbrr250.
He said the same as you and the Hyosungs are plentiful over there, so i would imagine parts wont be too bad if needed.
After have a look today I suggested the Honda VTR250, he needs reliability really as he doesnt get paid loads so is skint most of the time.
