    They are a good mid-range brand. They appear to be reliable if ridden and maintained correctly. Go and try one and see if it suits your riding style.
    Time to ride

    They are great for reliability. I had mine for just over a year and only had to do one repair and it was only minor.( Clutch cable ) They are definately worth the money and they are really nice to ride.

    Yes indeed. Reliable if ridden incorrectly as well.

    @Ryster, yes the hyos are fine, although they don't take abusive treatment very well. I suppose no bike does really.

    If you are looking at the 250's, make sure you ride them all. The GV is obviously different, but the Comet and the R while looking quite the same, are vastly different to ride - the R has a more serious feel to it, where the Comet is the more friendly and amusing bike. The R isn't really an absolute-learners bike - it's really hard to U-turn them, unless you already have substantial experience.

    I like them. I have five of them.

    I dont think Hyosung make a bad bike. I just think there are better options out there. I rode the 250R and wasn't all that impressed. Comes down to personal choice though.

    I wouldn't buy one under any circumstances, there are better bikes no matter what your budget is.

    What's your budget?
    Are you buying new or used?
    What's your style of riding?
    What actually appeals to you about the Hyosungs you've seen so far?
    How long do you intend to keep it?

    My 250 spada made it to well over 100,000km, it was neglected for most of that.. Not proud of abusing but it shows the quality of build..
