It would be great if the mc22 was still in production, or, the zxr250c

I dunno Doug.

Certainly the Hyosung front was inspired by the MV, and the rest of the bike just doesn't blend with such an iconic style (the MV style I mean), but as far as full faired 250cc air cooled 4 strokes go, I recon it's got everything else beat. (style wise)

Not perfect, but I recon if I was a 15 year old with cash to spend on a new bike I would probably opt for the hyosung, based on the front end optics alone!

Certainly personal preference tho!

and your right they are very closley watching the prolights class and he thinks it would be good to get new riders onto the track.

so fingers crossed i get signed onto the hyo team

calling all bikers i need cheap tyres my budget is 200 can you help me? thanks

Hopefully someone will have some tyres for you Chaos.

Just to get this straight,

From what you write I get the impression that you are intimating there is a chance you may get some sort of Hyosung NZ backing for racing.

Is that the case?

Really impressed if it is!

It would be best not to mention the areas of design that you dont like if you wish to be factory backed.

well there only starting out like me, unliike me the two guys running it are ex nat champs, ken dobson is the one i spoke to. there still looking to see if the 250 prolights even take off and there looking to sort out race packeges with perelli i think so a set of tyres for real cheap. but thats still all talk nothing real yet. and from what i gather and from what ken told me im the only person in newzealand thats taken a hyosung this far and come forward about it, except the hyosung guys of coarse they are hoping to be racing the new 250's aswell

I suppose it comes down to a matter of taste, I personally find the 3ln fzr250rr and mc22 cbr250rr the best looking of the 250cc four strokes. But now that we say air cooled....argh

What else am I meant to compare it to these days? I would still buy an mc22 cbr because they are stupidly fun, slower than a wet week in a Mongolian prison like any four stroke 250, but, stupidly fun.

I think this is where they got the styling from, the front ends are very similar and the tail looks almost 2004 SV 650 ish

EDIT: Obviously the front light is the F4 style though.

They have taken a lot of "inspiration" from many of the major bike makers, then they added little vents that really do not suit the flow of the design [ the ones on the front cowling]

Yeeep! haha I want to take them off and get them painted the same colour of the bike.
