im buying a Hyosung gt250r on saturday.
all u biker guys, tell me pro's, con's, if u like, if u don't like, and also why......
ya i know how to ride been ridin since 12. street and dirt. hardly anyone where i live rides kawi ninjas. ninjas are actually cheaper then hyosung's down here(new). i think the guys who assemble the bikes makes a big difference cuz most feedback here is positive, very reliable, low maintenance, & very accessable parts. Maybe this plays a factor over something like where u guys live where there are hardly any dealerships that carry these bikes, or even any parts as simple as tires(as he said). ^_^Good starter bike, not much power, pretty much get what you pay for.
Do you know how to ride?
well im a guy of safety. i wan't to ride a 250 for a year, maybe two. So i can get the hang of taffic, and the whole all round street riding through the city and wat not. I only have experience around the block and stuff not too far with no traffic. I think this will help me learn so i can get used to it. Thats just me though.My tips:
Anything japanese. The bigger brands (for reliability and parts availability)
If you really have been riding dirt and street since the age of 12, get a 600cc. No sense messing around with a 250.. Thats a starter bike. Moped on steroids. Not very powerful steroids at that.
If you look at all the different 600cc jap bikes of the last 10 years, they, year for year, are pretty much carbon copies of each other. So it doesn't so much matter which you end up with. I purchased a CBR 1000rr last year because Its sexy, fits me, bloody fast, and I do have some brand loyalty built up with Honda.
Stay the hell away from buell and harley. Or anything American made for that matter.
Lol nice find, I'm bidding on it just because its where I live....
