Communting bike Hyosung?

Hi there

Looking at getting a communting bike to work and saw one on the bay advertised for new for £725 which is a Hyosung make. Sounds cheap and looks quite nice. So whats wrong with it? lol

Its only a 5mile commute but the roads are pretty scary for bicycles but I am not ruling that out. But for that price I would happily take my CBT and commute for a year or so before stepping up.

Any advice guys. Thanks

Not sure on link to bay so just google HN125-8 125

A little worried about size too as I am quite tall. 6'2"

Honestly, stick with Japanese.

These cheap copies are built with poor quality materials, go rusty and fall apart like cigarette ash.

If you like the cruiser style bikes then take a look at these:
