Anybody tried both? power wise they seem very close on paper, ones a vtwin the other a single. Interested to see how they compare.

This. 250 Hornets are awesome bikes. Make the modern 250s look stupid. And a lot of the other LAMs bikes.

So why the fuck would he want your opinion on a Hornet when he's talking about Hyobags? Besides, where do you get off calling anyone "Champ" when you look like you're carrying at least three extra chromosomes?

:facepalm:

Sounds like hyosung made a cheaper engine to manufacture.... Newer isn't always better. Especially with budget brands

After riding around on Singles and parallel twins (CBR250R/Rebel 250) I found that the X4 to be a piece of crap. I'd much rather the v-twin as it has a lot more character. There are only a small handful of manufacturers that do a decent 250cc single and Hyosung is not one of them. Your alternatives are;

Sym Wolf
Honda CBR250R 2011+
KTM Duke

As for the GT250R they're 'OK' but statistically speaking they are the worst bike for learner riders, for similar money you can score yourself a VTR 250 which will hold it's value a lot better than a Hyosung and also bring you more reliable miles.

Hope this has helped!

If it's more horrid than the newer single cyl CBRs I would burn it. With the CBRs next to them.
Those CBRs are disgusting except the neat looking frame.
The Hyobag 250GT/GTR are pretty meh. Scrape fairings like a boss with good tyres though

Its like torture trying decide which bike would go better with a very tinted visor.
