hyo... its a starter bike and thats it.
I know several members on here ( including myself ) who have been riding bikes for years that would disagree with you

Bazza
+1 to that bazza, and as far as 'doomed to the clearance bin' (see 2 post above) I bought my 2007 Hyo in 2008 and ran it for 2 years before looking in my local Hyo dealer. I liked the look of the 2010 so I part exchanged it - the dealer gave me exactly what I paid for it 2 years ago, he didn't know it though. Who says they depreciate in value quickly?
