What can i say? Fantastic bike! I've had this bike for just under a year now and had no problems at all. It gets lots of looks, and always draws a crowd. The build quality is good, not as good as some jap bikes, but give it time and I seriously think they will be at the same standard. The bike's main rival is the Suzuki SV650 which Hyosung built parts for under license.
The Hyosung has faster acceleration, and top end, the bike handles very well into the corners, and is very stable at top speed. I've added an aftermarket can, from a ZX6R which is a direct bolt on,the sound is amazing. The bike feels much more alive now and seems to have a bit more go!!!
Genuine and aftermarket parts are not a problem to get either, as the market is growing with each passing month.
Would I buy another???? Yes I would! I'm actually thinking about getting the GT650X, or possibly the GT1200X when it finally arrives.
To summarize, if you buy one of these Hyosungs I guarantee you won't be disapointed, the 2007 models in the UK are totally trouble free. If you're looking at reviews from the 05/06 models then they may be negative as the bikes did have a few problems with valves but rest assured its all been sorted now.

These bikes are all too often thrown in with the same group as the horrible £500 Chinese bikes (GY and the like), where in reality they are nothing alike. This is a proper bike costing £2250 - £2450 in its standard form (i.e. without the supermoto wheels, etc) and gives the main players a run for their money.
I just bought my RX (XRX) as a stop gap between bigger bikes, but by god i've been surprised with the quality of this 'not-so-little' run around.
The first thing that struck me was the size of the forks; nice oversized USD forks like you'd expect to see on a YZ or similar. Then i looked at all the cosmetic bits (as you do) and the plastics are of the same quality as you'd expect on Yamaha, Kawasaki or Suzuki.
After the cosmetic aspect i dove deeper into the mechanical side. The frame is solid and sturdy; more than i can say for some of the other bikes (main brands) i've had over the past few years. It even offers a drop down section for easy access when working on the engine; so handy.
The engine itself SOHC / 4V (or DOHC / 5V on the new models) is as bulletproof as they come. Starts first time - every time from the button and from the kick too. Although i'm not going to claim that its a powerhouse of rippling performance - it's a 125cc after all, the RX125 engine is easily the equivalent to that of the popular Varadero, but in this case is pulling far less weight.
Ride & performance wise this will not disappoint; a cracking performer, nippy off the mark, smooth acceleration through the gears with no lag or wait and a mind blistering 75+mph around the top end.
The one thing i do love about this bike is the scale; full size wheels, full size frame. It's a nice big bike (the way they used to make them, not this namby pamby XT nonesense that looks like a kids scooter). You sit on this bike and you know you're on a bike; you're on the balls of your feet and you have a full sized moto-x style bike under you.
So if you are considering a 125cc bike, be it a long term investment or like me as a stop gap to something else, you could do FAR WORSE than a Hyosung RX/XRX.
In Summary: A good sized bike, better than average performance, effortless to maintain (easy access to spares) and the running costs are almost non existent (£15 tax, almost nothing for insurance and round the world for only a thimble full of fuel)
Well worth a look and they hold their value too.
JP.
