[CookMySock]

Shit yeah bro, the 250 hyos just lurrrrve a loud pipe on them!

There's lots of hyos in the BOP now. Time for a hyo ride sometime!

Sure is.

Well... I said I'd report back about this, and I'm pleased to say that I'm now the proud owner of a shiny black new Hyo GT250N

Its black, naked, and a hobag.

Meh - 2 out of 3 is a pass. Congratulations on the new bike - and I hope you get a ton of enjoyment out of it! I reckon its one of the best looking learners bikes out there. IMHO

I met Scorp @ the Hyosung agents a couple of weekends ago, I really thought he was going to buy the red one. But black is the new black Nice looking bike Scorp, sorry we won't be able to ride together, yours will make my '05 cruiser look too shabby. And yeah DB, they already have Demon pipes on as standard.

As we've discussed, there's a lot of rides in the area, and Browny's Bar and cafe seems like an ideal place to meet - a nice ride there for both of us. Then later we can amble over to Edgecumbe and see Dangerous Bastard - great cafe at Maketu on the way and the coast road is a dream for a learner.

Get up on it and do as many k's as you can. I'm going to be clicking up 4000 km soon, maybe this weekend, and I've only had the bike 11 weeks tomorrow.

Good on you Scorp, NICE looking bike.

LOL that's a sharp idea to do that. Loud-piped hyos sound the business.

Do the recent EFI hyos crackle and pop when you throttle off? Two of ours had their pilots set too rich, and they just went moooaaaaarrrrrr on throttle-off. That was an easy adjustment, and back to crackle-pop-bang-boom! lol.

If you are going to browny's brewery and cafe you can pick up the BOP Tag while there and set a new one! Keep that thing alive...

I haven't read the whole thread, but I started on a GT205R, and am currently on a Street Triple. I assume DB and his Missus have already chipped in with the virtues of a bike whose frame is made out of 90% Labrador.

If I had to do it all over again, i'd avoid the Hyosung. I blew the piston out of the side of the engine 5 days after the Warranty finished, and Hyosung NZ couldn't give a rats arse about it. Looking back on it, i'd have been far happier with a 2nd hand bike, and not buying new.

We all make silly mistakes, and i've learned from mine. Avoid Hyosung the best you can. Mine had all sorts of bits fall off too.

Good luck though, hope your experience is better than mine.

Gotta agree Steve, My GV250 makes a lovely crackle-pop when I throtle off. And with the back baffles off it makes a lovely ponka-ponka pulling torque at low revs.

Enjoy your new toy Scorp. Very jealous about your pipe. Had a listen to one on a 250 the other day and it sounded great. Sadly, too many $$$ for me to justify making my bike sound better :-)

I found a new stainless 50mm straight-through cheapie and fitted it to my daughters' 250 comet. It's not quite as loud and sharp as the SD, but its still bloody good. $60 plus an hour s work with the grinder.

So you don't have to spend a lot of money.

im trying to get a secondhand screamin demon exhaust at the mo but i don't think i could justify the $500 they want for a new one. Db if you here of any forsale send me a pm.
