Info on Hyosung bikes? Any good?

[Swivel]

Hyo's are good bikes, good to learn on and the GT250-650s look mean as. Price is good too. V twin sounds great with aftermarket pipes demons or something. I use to own one and had nil issues with her. The negatives is the mirrors seems to show your arms rather then the road, and they are a little heavy. You may find some of the Hyo knockers have never ridden or owned one.

You dont need to ride or own one to see the rust and poor build quality

Does that increase the value?

No but it does make them lighter

I personally haven't seen any like that yet, except one on tm but only because it was sitting outdoors for 12 months it was a GV250. MCN have a good review on the GT250R model, but for a first bike it think they are great that wont bust the wallet.

Yes.

They get faster as they get older. Mind you I could run faster than they go.

Crap, utter crap.

Iv never given one a really good look over. Seems a few people are in the Hyosung cup, so is it more than fit and finish?

Its only the metal and alloy bits that are bad. The rest is fine.

Hyosungs will do quite adequately as a learner bike.

People like nzspokes just love the sound of their own voice.

Idd own a near new Hyosung over an old 4 cylinder 250 that had a lot of abusive by its previous owners. Looked after and kept clean and oiled up they wouldn't be that bad. Living outside and neglected very likely to age quickly.
One thing about bikes is the more you pay the better the bike but the more you tend to lose financially if it was new when you got it.

One thing you will hear about is horror stories when they go bad but would be interesting to study how they were maintained and what percentage do fail prematurely. People don't tend to brag about things that don't break but the don't half whinge when things go pear shaped.

Summary= I wouldn't own one unless I wanted an A to B vehicle with a budget purchase in mind.

Front end looks a lot like a F3 or F4. That's not good. I think its why nobody waves to me now.
