Default What CBR model is this? Konica Minolta edition

I saw this bike while I was in Korea this week. The headlamp and gauge cluster look unlike other CBR's I have seen. Is this a bike imported into the US? What model is it?

Okay. I would not have guessed that. I am not familiar with Hyosung. Makes no sense for the owner to rebadge it, but....it's Korea.

The wings were part of the sticker kit he liked. He wanted it to look as authentic as possible. So he used them.

the sad thing is those bikes dont look too bad at all. if they would up their quality itd take a few years to build brand strength, but they could turn out to be good in the future

Those Konica fairings are popular all over Korea. I saw them being put on everything while I was over there. And don't knock the Hyo's! I learned on a hyo 250... until the crank split in half on me... :P

not to mention the front head light is THE UGLIEST THING EVER.. like i think they had lazy designers (hence the reliability issue) and they were like crap we forgot the headlight.. I have a flashlight in my desk we could throw in there.
