No clearly not, but just wonder where the styling ideas came from and who borrowed who's ideas.
It's a Hyosung Comet apparently.

apologies for the dodgy scan making the forks appear a bit odd

That must be a new Comet then?
Im sure the one I had a go on had a single spar frame, not a twin?

Nope, always had a double spar as far as I recall, whole bike is basically a cheap rip-off of Suzi's SV. I think the double spar job was the best they could do with the frame without blatantly copying the Suzook's cast trelis-a-like job. Not heard too many good reviews of them, mainly due to the fact that it is a budget version of what is already a cheaply made (albeit very useful) bike in the first place.

Well can't blame em trying to copy a decent bike!
Anyway Dale it's about time you posted some piccies of the Pickfords van, seeing as that's the nearest thing you've get to a bike at the moment.
Any more news yet?
You must be really pissed off by now.

I believe Hyosung have a deal with Suzuki.
So there's probably a whole heap of Hyosung made parts on Suzukis!

Yeah, the MZ 1000SF. A lovely piece of kit. I'd have bought one (or at lest looked very hard at it) if it had been available down here.

They got a good write up when they were introduced I seem to recall.
Most of the reporters couldnt understand how an MZ could ride so well.
They clearly didnt ride my MZ250RR

I like what MZ are chucking out at the moment, shame they are to small for me.
