hi peoples
At the moment I'm trying to decide between two bikes to buy:
one is a 2003 Hyosung GT250 comet - the other is a 1989 (I think, but it might be a 91) Honda Spada 250.
Both are nice to ride, I was more comfortable with the Spada to be honest, but the thing that gets me is: its 16 years old, and costs slightly more than the Hyosung.
Any thoughts?
БЛИН!
Get whichever you want.
The instructions are simple...
The Spada will be 88 or 89 (only years they were made). It will eat the Hyobag in absolutely every way. And as long as the price is right, you won't ever lose too much when you sell it.
However, you will get whichever one you like the most, won't you?
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

Go the Honda Spada

Mad nagging bitch!
The Spada is reliable, fast, easy to handle and infinitely manouevrable...and sexy!
Whatever you are most comfortable with, really.

I would get a Spada - but then that's me.
You can get a few Spadas less than $4,000 these days - I'd be surprised if a Ho Bag i being sold for less than that yet.

Ok. So I'm getting the hint. Spada good, Hyosung bad. Or not as good, anyway.
The bike mags etc have been giving them good writeups and I haven't heard a lot of bad things about them from people who've owned them or who have mates with one.
So... there's nothing wrong per se with buying a bike that was built back in the year George Bush the elder became president, the Tiananmen Square massacre happened, the berlin wall came down, and the Simpsons first aired on TV....? ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989 )
The instructions are simple...
No...why should there be? Spadas will basically stand any test, including time....Originally Posted by rf74

Get the SPADA,my brother in law has one and never has regretted it.It a great all rounder with heaps of grunt and looks good to.
Would you like some CANDY!?!?!
If you want newer, investigate a 1998 onwards Honda VTR250. Like this. Less poke than the Spada though. Also, a lot more money.
LOL WUT!
If it's the Spada i think it is, the one at TSS, it was very very nice. Lovely sound from the aftermarket pipe too

I would get the Hyosung over a 16 year old Honda any day. I've ridden one and I think they're great! Nice simple engine, good gearbox.
Kiwi back at home!
I reckon a 16 year old Honda would be more reliable.

You reckon? Based on what?
My mates 16 year old Honda just broke down today, and I've had to rebuild my 16 year old Honda too. I have another friend who fried the electrics on his CBR250 a few weeks back.
Meanwhile, I have a friend (smokeymoe) with a Hyosung GT250. He gets phenomenal fuel consumption and the thing's a hoot to ride. Hasn't skipped a beat.
