Granted the recipient was my son, but he arrived here from New Orleans after Katrina with nothing but a knapsack with a few t-shirts. I bought him a Buddy 50 to help him get his act together up here. His Buddy has enabled him to get to work and generally function without a car. Also, I liked it so much I bought another one for me. I consider myself deserving of a little fun, too. Pat, keep up the good work. I must be a little ahead of the curve on this concept.

In the future when we look back on these trying times I hope people will remember the creativity and generosity of business people like you and Genuine Scooter Company. A perfect example of creating an oportunity for people to "pay it forward". What a fantastic idea!

That is great that Tony came by your shop. I am looking forward to seeing the GV700i in the flesh, a good number of people asked for that bike in the forums. Glad to see Hyosung pushing through the recession. Looking forward to watching the company grow. Thanks a lot for sharing the pic and info! That is great that Tony came by your shop.

This is my first bike so I can't really compare it to other brands but i would be willing to bet it is as good, or better, than most. I have 2 complaints: 1) The plastic chain guard broke early on - not sure why - but was easy enough to fix (well - it doesn't move around anymore). 2) My speedometer, other than being in KM, is about 5 mph slow - which is a bit annoying. I have put 10,000 miles on it (accuracy questionable cosidering speedo) and have had no major issues - other than a flat tire. Well, the dealer had to put a new fuelcock when it would not start the day after I got it home but that was just b/c it was sitting in the showroom for a while. A couple of suggestions: 1) The ethanol was clogging up my carb and causing my bike to cut out at 8K RPM + - I added fuel cleaner and started using good quality gas (gas with cleaners - shell, chevron, etc.) and it has not been an issue. 2) keep the chain oiled and cleaned - the chain pops like crazy after a 1000 Km or so without an oiling / tightening. 3) the engine is running better now than ever - better with age i guess :) 4) I have seen several posts about loose bolts and such. Make sure the dealer is reputable as they are the ones that put the bikes together. So if they suck - your bike probably will too.
