Default Korean Bikes, would you own one?

I'm not particularly interested in them. But, a few years ago there was a lot of buzz about the Korean makes and their relatively low prices. Now you don't hear too much about them. Just curious if any BT riders have one, how they like them, or if they are crap or not.

I think they look good, and I might have gotten one for my first bike, but I wouldn't get one now. The parts are hard to find, no one wants to work on them because they don't know the bikes, and you don't get any street cred, yo.

They look nice enough, I've only seen the 250s around Daytona.

Beat one from a dig even though I missed second, that made me feel warm and fuzzy

I dunno how much I'd trust them. They do look nice...but I mean, I trust Yamaha, I trust Suzuki. I don't know or trust Hyosung.

Good to see bike tech hasn't changed at all.
