Around 10 to 15 years ago when we first started seeing Hyosungs etc. just like with Kia and Hyundai people were sceptical. As some pointed out even the Japanese started out small and against all the odds ended up building world class pioneering bikes. It was said that China and Korea will do the same .......... well erm where are the Japanese equivalents ? Yes there are plenty of Chinese scooters and pit bikes to choose from but nothing to challenge the existing big brands. Is there more money in cars or lack of passion for building truly competitive machinery ?
