lol, its not the paint or anything that lets the hyo down , its just little things, the seats look quite cheap, the clock surrounds is not the best looking, some of the metals used dont seem to be as good a quality on the hyo as they seem on the sv, but im still pleased with both my bikes, they are very similar but different at the same time

awesome when i was at kingston uni, there was a guy who rode in on the GT250 every day...I kept an eye on it through winter, and i must say, i was quite impressed by how well it coped.

certainly beter than the more recent SV's....

i havent got a spot of rust on mine, no grassy moss or other ugly growths, the bike has been used for the last 2 years all year round, until someone reversed over it and smashed all my fairings, so whilst im getting that back on the road i thought id get another bike, once my hyo is all back together ill probably use the sv for the track or vice a versa!! how does the k3 hold up, any real problem areas for rust and breakages???

Not many. Only anything not made of plastic will corrode on the SV.
