GT250R vs CBR250RR pre 100 acceleration

As for pre-100 performance. You're comparing a V-Twin to an InLine 4. The Inline 4 will always win.

Care to put money on that buddy...

P.P.S The vtwins have about half the horsepower of the IL4's, remarkably disappointing. For commuting I would settle for a VTR250, or ZZR250 but the hyosungs are a very average bike that they've prettied up

You're right about that, I rode a 2003 Hyosung back then and it was pretty shit.


The only reason I bought it was because for the size, as I am really tall and all the Jap 250s felt like a Pony on a Merry Go around. I got rid of it as soon as I can and I really pity the fool who bought it off me. It's a reasonable bike to learn on but it's not a proper motorcycle to have fun on. Really harsh gear ratios, sponge cake rear shocks (horrible), and fluffy carbs.

Thumbs up to the sound of the V-twin but if it wasn't for the I aftermarket exahust I put on it would sound half of what it was, stock.

Sure it was back in 2004, and they've improved bits here and there but surely you're better off with something else.

You weigh it out yourself, the pros and cons. If the Hyosung fits your criteria buy it, if not don't. It's purely a matter of value, you decide. And don't let me stop you from buying one.

My Bandit 250 kept pace in a drag up hobson street with a GT650. The rider (julian) comes on the thursday rides and can vouch for that...

Could just be the rider?

27hp, top speed 140k/hr... not good. Better off with an FXR150.

I know the speedos can over read the speed by up to 6km/h but not 25-30km/h, the Hyobag will do 165km/h even with my lard arse on one without hitting redline, admitidly it will take longer to get there than on a CBR
