| Actually 1.6 is a very reasonable price for a 2007 model. The new 2008's are 2-2.2m, and 2006 and 7's are going for around 1.8 on the korean sites. This one is barely broken-in, starts up immediately every time, and what with it's ability to hop off curbs and fly over speed bumps, is perfect for the urban jungle that is Korea. It'll beat most cars off the line and you will easily be able to keep up with cars on the occasional ride out of town. That said, it's acceleration is not exactly thrilling, and even with a smallish korean lady-friend on the back it's not terribly comfy for those long trips. Anyway, I'm willing to entertain offers because I want to buy something bigger soon! |

Don't get me wrong... its a cherry ride... and looks to be in great condition.
Buts its a bit steep for a 125cc... at least IMHO. I could easily pick up a Hyosung 250cc bike for that price.
Anyways... good luck with the sale. |

This IS a sweet ride! I have the same bike, which I bought slightly used last fall for only a slightly better deal: 1.5 for 1400km. It's significantly lighter, and thus zippier, than the 125cc cruisers that the quick service ajosshis use. I'm 6 feet tall and it just fits my body. It's also great for dropping off curbs, even sharp 30cm ones, without any compunction.
If I didn't have this bike already, I would be planning a trip to Daegu... |

Wow! That is quite generous of you to offer 2/3s the asking price. I'm going out on a limb and saying the OP says NO. 
That is a sweet little bike. If I didn't have a car I would be all over it. |

I've got the same bike too. Mines a 2002 that I picked up for 900,000 (they usually sell for 1,200,000). This is a sweet little bike at a great price. I realize alot of teachers here are pretty cheap because they will be leaving in a year. This bike won't lose much value over the year. It's really worth buying a newer bike in Korea, fewer problems and you still have a high resale value after a year.
This bike can hit 115Km/h, drops curbs, cuts through traffic like hot butter, rips trails.
If you have a budget of 700,000 for a 125 you'll only get some cruiser from 1999-2000 that may or may not have problems, and handles likes a station wagon. |

foreigners sell bikes to foreigners for much cheaper than Koreans usually do. if you post this bike on naver's used bike list you might be more likely to get a better price for your bike.
I bought my 125 cc from a foreigner for $650 and saw the same year/model on naver for about four hundred more. |

I own an RX125 from Hyosung and it's by far the best purchase I've made in Korea.
Good luck with your sale. |

yes, and this guy is selling his bike for a good price based on year and model and what waygooks are willing to pay...about 200,000 less than most Korean websites. |
