Title: Korean Kymcos ??
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on July 17, 2018, 01:21:12 AM: Read on here that a member has a People 300 that is made in Korea.
Is that true - Kymco has an assembly plant in Korea?

I didn't realise Chevrolet were still making in Korea! It must be continuing from their aquisition of Daewoo some years ago.

The big Korean bike manufacturers are Daelim and Hyosung. Joint venture perhaps? :)
