the hyusong motos are getting pretty popular as they look good and are heaps cheaper than a jap bike the same size. i dont know about performance or reliability though!! no reason why the thumpstar /terra motos couldnt do this too. personally i think if they found a way to stop people using the thumpstar name to sell non genuine bikes (ebay especially) they would be alot better off, but they cant, so they need a name change to distance the company from the copies could do better than terra motos for a name but aye??
