Think for a second
Klodike is ACTUALLY a Knock off brand of Eskimo Pies(which didnt fare to well)
and now Klondike the Knock off(no name brand) is the biggest name......


Who's to say a "cheap imitation" brand like Hyosung couldn't become the next Honda or Kawasaki?

They could one day but that day isn't today.

I was thinking the same thing. Being a good company 10 years from now doesnt mean that you wont buy a bike today and have a hard time selling it or repairing it. Just because my kids are gonna be good drivers 10 years from now doesnt mean I'm willing to give them the keys to my car, neither of them knows how to drive today.

Given that the average sportbike rider only puts about 6-8k miles on their bike before selling it, I doubt it will give them any problems. It's a good looking bike, but I just can't get over how it's 60-70 lbs heavier than an SV. I mean WTF?

Hmm, fixed-color, fixed character........Seems lame, but at least it's a lot brighter than the LCD shit a lot of bikes use (the KTM RC8 is the worst, you cannot read that thing in broad daylight because the backlighting is so weak and the font is so skinny)

Really neat stuff.














"In a Nixie Tube display each numeral is a complete, lighted cathode in the shape of the numeral. The cathodes are stacked so that different numerals appear at different depths, unlike a planar display in which all numerals are on the same plane relative to the viewer. The anode is a transparent metal mesh wrapped around the front of the display. The tube is filled with the inert gas neon with a small amount of mercury. When an electric potential of 180 to 200 volts DC is applied between the anode and any cathode, the gas near the cathode breaks down and glows. The digits glow with a orange-red color.

The name Nixie came about accidentally. A [Burroughs] draftsman making drawings of the device labeled it NIX I, for Numeric Indicator eXperimental No. 1. His colleagues began referring to it as "Nixie," and the name stuck (Scientific American, June '73, pp. 66).

Interestingly enough the Nixie design is considered "failsafe". If a filament (cathode) fails, the numeral is not illuminated. Whereas, in a seven-segment display if one segment fails, a number other than the intended number may be displayed. The Casio 121-A and the Sharp QT8-B used Nixie tubes. "
