presentation of the COMET 125 2008

a handsome little roadster powered by a V-twin... The Koreans go wild. Sprinkle in a few handfuls of mimicry powder and you'd be forgiven for wondering if you weren't looking at a 2 1/2. And with good reason: the Comet 125 has the same frame as the 250, and above it, also very similar, is the 650. In 2004, the adoption of a bigger headlamp gives it even more poise.

not a bad big sister. Its engine is an air- and oil-cooled twin-cylinder developing around 15 hp. Performance-wise, below 7,000 rpm, the mill feels hollow, but after that, it does its bit despite the machine's weight (150 kg unladen). Top speed is sufficient, estimated at 120km/h. The aesthetics are very well thought-out, and at first glance the bike doesn't look like it belongs in the 125 class. It has a 17-liter fuel tank, making it ideal for long rides. Weak points: spare parts take a long time to arrive, the original rear tire doesn't grip too well and the chrome parts rust very quickly. As for the engine, it really lacks the power to pull the weight of this machine. Strengths: aesthetics, size and very powerful braking. On the other hand, the €4,000 price tag is a bit hard to swallow.

Très bonne moto
French Belette 51 Model 2004
I bought this 125 comet second hand last year for a more than fair sum (450€) with 2 or 3 odds and ends, but it runs well. After almost a year of riding it, I'm not at all disappointed. This bike (trompe l'oeil) is stable, performs well and brakes very well. Rating : 4/5
French Meule38 Model 2006
Good machine, nice on all points ... lacks peach especially at low rpm but remains flexible ... speed 115 to 120 meter ... the duo not too recommended comfort and performance down ... already that ... but it remains an excellent 125cc 4t. Rating : 4/5

Frankly this bike made me the eye at its release I buy them there is more than 2 years and I am delighted it turns very well demare to the car of turn once to have well prayed knowledge model carbut a little difficult the winter but voila it consumes little and has good resumption âpres c a 1225cc it is not necessary to hope to leave in wheel either I will separate from it following the big cube licenses but I will keep a super memory of it:)it has 26000km many take it for a 600cc which is cool rather than the 125 cbr which has a size of 50 cc Rating : 4/5
French Model 2008
Good 125, not too nervous but goes up to 120 in normal conditions.
2OO9 bike, low fuel consumption, very good handling with Michelin Pilot road rain tires. Great 500 sound with an English Pipe Werx.
A real pleasure, designed to cut down the miles...

hello everyone, I bought my comet a little over a year ago, good bike overall, good braking, great size, I love this bike although it has a few flaws especially the original tires which are terrible for road holding, the carburetion is a little temperamental too, but I fell in love with this bike and I don't regret it at all. enjoy your ride! Rating : 4/5
French robin18350 Model 2003
Personally, I've had my hyosung comet 125 for a year and a half and when I got it it had 7800km. Today it's at 23000km and I've only used it very rarely
It's very pleasant to ride, I've gone up to 120km/h several times (obviously you don't want to stay there too long, because at 120 it's at 12rpm), the braking is very good, and if it brakes less well than the bigger bikes, that's normal as it only has one disc at the front, whereas most of the others have two
as far as looks are concerned, people are often pleasantly surprised to hear that it's a 125, its weight still allows good acceleration (changed nozzle), the headlight and round meters are not out of fashion (the bandit or the hornet have the same thing) and as far as noise is concerned, I think that if you want a good noise, you need to change the exhaust pipe
To conclude, I think the hyosung comet 125 is perfect before taking the big cube licence. Rating : 5/5

bonj moi j,ai ai une comet an 2003 qui affiche 7256km et tres content aussi bien de sa tenue de route que de son gabarit je travaille tout les jours et le starter je ne connai pas elle démararre au quart de tour autonomie 300 km salut a tous Rating : 5/5
French cedric Model 2003
Personally, I've had mine for 3 weeks now, I've ridden it 1000km and no worries, I'm riding it at 120km/h without debriding. The pre-2003 comets were bad, yes the engine rusted, but from 2004 onwards things changed, and yes, the brand was bought out and the changes quickly became apparent. today the comet is serious, but it's still a 125. The delivery time for parts is longer, because the classic dealerships also wait until they have several parts to order to avoid shipping costs, and as the brand is not widely available... well, it takes longer... so it's logical!
then find a hyosung dealership and it'll go faster. in short, mine runs like clockwork and it's 1 year old and doesn't rust ... all's well, I have absolutely no regrets ... especially after 1050 km in 10 days ... to be continued Rating : 5/5
French naxymum Model 2003
to read the reviews it's not top top, the hardest thing is to find an authorized and serious dealer who distributes hyosung.. they're beautiful but rust pretty fast Rating : 5/5
French hyo25 Model 2003
reply to oxide14, I'm sorry for my criticism of the two-stroke, but I'm not convinced that the hyosung is more expensive to maintain than the mito, given its price and that of the hyosung, there's already a certain gap, and as for the reliability of the hyosung, check out the sites.I forgot to tell you that the mito costs more to insure and its reliability isn't top-notch.... I'm 34 years old and I prefer to ride a 4-stroke..... I've already had an Italian 2-stroke, so before judging me and the comet, find out and think before you speak...... Rating : 5/5

hyo25 I doubt you'd get on a so-called big moped, I've got a cagiva mito and I can tell you that I've left comet-style dung 1000 times at the lights, not to mention the look! the kind of round optics with the meters really looks like it's from the 50s, so for the big bike genre you'll have to come back again, plus I've looked closely at the engine and it's really not aesthetic, so there you go! not to mention the after-sales service, which is deplorable on this machine!not to mention the deplorable after-sales service on this machine! If you break down after 5,000 km, you'll understand that you've wasted your money! It's better to have a lot of maintenance and a lot of fun (that's more like describing a girl! ;) )than less maintenance and a lot of crap on your bike! Rating : 5/5
French hyo25 Model 2003
voilà, I've had a red comet for a year now, it's true that you have to push it to get it up to speed but it doesn't matter, it's a very good bike, I got it at 500 kms and it has 1300 kms, there's a question I'm asking myself, should it be? a 2-stroke that looks like a big moped or a real bike that looks good. the problem with a 2-stroke is that it looks like a big moped and you don't do as many kilometers, maintenance is expensive too ...

French casasteph Model 2003
bonjour ,je lis les commentaires et on ne parlent ici que de probleme mineur ,il faut savoir que cette machine a des problemes connus tel que
*the welded pots which give way, a problem totally taken care of by the importer who re-supplies the same pots and so on
* then there are the unexplained engine failures, known to the importer and the brand, which nevertheless seems reluctant to replace the engine. These failures are due to an unsuitable sealant that becomes unstuck and clogs the lubrication circuit, leading to overheating and failure
*and a problem that has just happened to me: part of the swingarm broke, causing the machine's bottom to collapse, the wheel to lock and the rider to fall off the bike
in my case, this last problem is in the process of being solved, perhaps, but in any case it heralds a long period of immobility (don't worry, it happened to me at 20 mph, so no bodily harm was done)
*i was going to forget also an original front tire that has delaminated (the rubber of the tread is detached from the carcass of the tire, over the entire circumference of the wheel) you are refused to change the tire on the pretext that you may be riding on the sidewalks
so yes, the comet is beautiful, with a nice size, even if we'd like a slightly more powerful engine, but it also has serious design and manufacturing faults.
if anyone has had one or more of these problems, or any others, i'd like them to get in touch with me. thank you

For Spam, the 2003 model has a teething problem with the intake pipes, which become porous very quickly. The problem is well known, and DIP took care of it, even if it sometimes takes a VERY long time. I don't know about SIMA, who took over..
Apart from that, it's a good bike for the city, and not unpleasant for the road, on a ride, but solo, the duo is not its forte. Rating : 5/5
French spam69 Model 2003
Nice roadster, good riding position, I like the capacity of the fuel tank, which gives a good range, but it's a bit heavy and a bit "pushy" for my taste, despite a few peaks at 120 kph
Mine is KC, engine out of order after only 6000 kms
and in spite of having talked to an authorized hyosung dealer, it was original without a kit
My dealer told me he hadn't yet encountered this kind of problem, and as the warranty expired 2 months ago... I'd have to shell out €1,000 for a standard engine exchange
That seems a bit much for a 2003 bike rated at 2400, so... I'm waiting for a commercial gesture from SIMA or the manufacturer, but I don't have much faith in it
Be sure to have your engine serviced by a Hyosung dealer, because if you have a problem... there won't be a solution
otherwise,
it's true that the chromes rust quite quickly if the machine is left in the rain, and the gearbox is a bit hard during the break-in period, but it's all right with the miles. the headlight is a bit undersized on the 2003 models, but the 2004 and up models have adopted a new, more powerful headlight
In conclusion, this is a very pretty roadster that has all the makings of a grand tourer, but should be reserved for city use. Rating : 5/5
French Sanka66 Model 2003
Magnificent bike, much better in real life than in photos!!!, sure it's not a thunderbolt, but it's great fun in corners, great handling, really great fun... great training for a future move to a big cube ;-)

French benphu Model 2003
It's true that this bike is beautiful (if you take good care of the chrome, LOL!) Mine's black, and it looks good with its "tuned" fork head and a few other body accessories that go well with it, such as the wheel arch and engine cowling), and it's worthwhile in terms of size: it's the same size and weight as a 500 roadster... The only major criticism I have is its notorious lack of performance, made all the more noticeable by its weight (170kg fully loaded). And having had a Cagiva Planet just before, I can tell you that I feel like I'm dragging myself along... I keep trying to stay above 7000rpm, but it's still a bit sluggish. And at this rate, because I'm often bored of dragging myself along, despite a big tank, I've only got a range of 200km. The technical data sheets claim 350km, but to get there I'd have to drive down a deserted country road at an average of 60 km/h in last gear (the 5). Mind you, at least I'm not in danger of being flashed on the freeway, as I can only manage 115km/h (downhill) with great difficulty. A comment on the braking: it certainly works, but in relation to the weight, it still lacks a little power (forget the stoppies)
Finally, for the record, it takes 5 weeks for parts to arrive by container from Korea, then another 2 weeks for Sima to manage its stock, and another week for them to be available from a dealer... I've tested it (alas)
Otherwise, it's a very sypmpa motorcycle for quiet rides or short daily commutes (bike, work, sleep). Rating : 5/5
