Caution over the new GN250's. Apparently they come out of China, and the workmanship isn't that flash. Heard someone talking about one, and she had multiple issues with it within the first six months.

Be nice to hear something more specific. The folks I've spoken to who have them had no issues at all.

Thanks, done

Only problem I had with the GN250 I brought was that the main/reserve switch on it was rooted facotry new (whomever built it had forced the retaining screw in when the switch was in the wrong position, so it was into the wall of it, not the groove.) Put the shits up me the first time I went to switch to reserve and couldnt! Pulled over and took the switch apart on the side of the road and got it sorted thou. Would have been a sodding long walk otherwise.

Looking at the respective manufacturer sites, it appears as though there has been some significant rationalisations of the 250 range. This could be a reason why the 2nd hand 250 market is so strong at the moment? There are numerous trial/MX bikes for sale, so I have ommitted them.

Suzuki:

VL250 (Cruiser)
GN250 (Road)

Honda:

VTR250 (Road)


Kawasaki:

None sold.


Yamaha:

Virago (Cruiser)
XVS250 (Cruiser)


Hyosung:

GT250 Comet (Road)
GT250R (Road)
GV250 (Cruiser)

Chinese option ??

The Hyosung Gt250r is a pretty good looking bike looks bigger than a 250
