Hyosung advice & kit out

**sil3nt** · 1st October 2010, 21:07

You can't go wrong with either. Many people ride Hyosungs without any problem. Test ride them both at a dealer and see what you like best. I thought the Hyosungs engine was crap compared to my 89 Kwaka. Eveything else seemed fine.

Magazines tend to give the Ninja the nod over the Hyo but only just.

Cheers might go look at some at a dealer to compare

Found a couple possible contenders both hyo and ninja on trade me

I'll agree the newer bikes do look fairly nice.
Have you considered a VTR? Very good little bikes.
Try them all on for size and you'll know anyway, as far as I am aware all the debut problems with the Hyosung bikes have been ironed out, they seem to give stuff all problems now.

Ride safe mate

and bloody enjoy it

On a 5K budget I'd get a CBR, do the fork seals, rip the airbox off and throw a decent end can on it and some 145 main jets. Done, ultimate 4 stroke 250.

I personally much prefer the older 250's, I owned a ZXR250C as my first bike and that was very nice and quick, 45hp rather than than 27hp you get with a new one. But depends what you want with your bike, the new Ninja is very nice to ride just not so much fun on the throttle.

The up right position of the newer 250's will be easier to learn on also.

I love the older ones, I think they're prettier, better built and we all know they are quicker, better handling and stop better.
I found the Hyo and EX250 somewhat boring

Just went n had a sit on a few bikes.

The Ninja's are way to small for my lanky frame but surprisingly the Hyo felt really good and was a nice fit.

Also fits my budget better too and not looking for a massively flash bike but a nice tidy one so will prob stick with a hyo at this stage

Nice

Got your license? Test rides are free!

Hyosungs look awesome in two tone. See far too many black and red ones.

The first link doesn't work but it's that stolen and recovered one i see from the auction number.
Check that second one out, looks like a bloody good deal.
That third one is very nice for a Hyosung, almost makes me want to try another 650R out.

Like the look of the 2nd one....hmmm might be some negotiation.

Also where does one get a tail tidy for it so is like the 3rd on list?

I'd start by offering $4200 cash, but, it's a reasonable price as it is.
