I ride once every two weeks from ChCh to Blenheim, thats 4 1/2 hrs each way or 341km. not a worry , on a 250 Keeway!
Have done 8 return trips this year , feel as fresh as when I get to the end of the ride as when I start. your 2fiddy Hosung will do it not worries

Just pace yourself and take breaks if you even begin to think you might need one

Just think of it as two 1 hour rides in a row. Not a big deal

the bike will do it fine too

[Jantar]

Just make sure that you stop the bike and get off for a bit of a walk around every 2 - 3 hours. If you keep on riding for more than 3 hours or so without stopping then your engine will cut out, the bike will grind to a halt and it will not start again until you have that walk around.

Oh, while having that walk around, put some more fuel in the tank, and the bike will start up and keep going for another 3 hours or so.

My friend used to regularly ride from Auckland to the Coromandel on a GT250. No issues whatsoever.

Blightybiker rode 4 days straight around the north island on her Hyosung GT250. Apparently the seat is a bit hard but gas stops were a good enough stretch. That was about 1600km btw.

Two days? Fuck that for a joke, lose a whole day drinking!

It's a one day ride ... :doh:Oh, this is a much nicer way to say it.

Always it's not about the bike that's capable. It's the rider.

If you keep on riding for more than 3 hours or so without stopping then your engine will cut out, the bike will grind to a halt and it will not start again until you have that walk around.



That's where you pull the spark plugs, salt them and put them back in the other cylinder. It's also a good idea to salt the oil in a GT250 as they're not water cooled, you do NOT want the motor to become hydrated.

I rode Taupo to CHCh in one day on an R6, wasn't a problem at all, the only difference for you would be the power which really isn't an issue.
Just grip the tank with your knees, it helps keep weight off your wrists.

Yes, these words give a real hint as to which Palmy ''rode down from palmy to chch'' You can also ride up from palmy to chch.
