    So has Hyosung been rebranded in the US? Is it going to change here?

    Read the first paragraph. Don't worry i didn't and it had me wondering for awhile!

    *edit*
    Ok not first paragraph but its here anyway

    The third challenger arrives thanks to Korea’s S&T Motors
    (formerly known as Hyosung). Utah-based ATK has made a
    multi-year, $100-million deal with S&T to rebadge some familiar Hyosung models, and after further development, eventually
    manufacture them in the US. One of these is the GT250R, a
    sportbike that mirrors the look of the Hyosung GT650R midsized sportbike. In place of the 650R’s liquid-cooled 90° V-twin,
    the GT250R carries a free-revving air/oil-cooled 75° V-twin .
    So there you have it. With three solid contenders, it was time
    to wring their necks and see who makes the best little sportbike
    in motorcycling. We figured it would be close, but in the end we
    had no idea how close.

    What's the point in a single cylinder CBR? Honda made some pretty good CBR250s back in the '80s, and the new ones are nowhere near as good. Well done Honda for ruining a very good bike.

    Blame the laws of other countries. The market for a 4 cylinder 250 is very small.

    Sounds like this new CBR is actually pretty damn good (if you bother to read the article at all).

    Concur. Too bad its a Honda tho.

    And....note the more recent 250's may have sporty looks, but there seems to be a general trend here. They are getting slower and perhaps heavier - but easier to ride and perhaps more fun as as a commuter / learners machine.

    The CBR doesnt really strike me as a bike Honda intended to race against older 250 fours.

    I'm not saying it's a bad bike, it's just that they should have named it something else, other than "CBR".

    You'd think it was Hondas range of high revving, straight 4 sports bikes.

    Modern 250s are slow.
