2008 Hyosung GT250R - Fuel injected

[Shadows]

Apparently a V-Twin Thou' is on the cards already.

And has been for a couple of years but it never eventuated. There was talk about it being supercharged back then.

I was at TSS this afternoon and they had about half a dozen injected GT250Rs. Other than the bits of black all over them they looked the same. The gray ones looked really cool. I suppose you'd be able to put the injected fairings on the early models.
Also I didnt see any "fuel injected" stickers on it. One would think that they would brag about it

Was there any mention as to power increases? The non EFI versions put out 29HP I think.

Sorry mate I didn't ask. If there is any I imagine it'll only be a couple of horse power. The fuel injection would mainly be more fuel efficent

Think its roughly 28 at the crank.. so more like 25 (Optimistic :P) at the wheel.

Your opinion obviously doesn't count as you work for the Ducati and Honda dealer Martin...

(always declare any conflicts of interest).

Ill let you off with a warning this time Spew-Zuki owner! hehe

Was T Spectrum the other day and they had the new '08 colour in too but I looked and it's the same powerplant. Asked the guy if they're going to be injected and he siad not that he'd heard.

That's your typical uninformed salesman... I say good on Hyosung for putting out an EFI version of their bike.

To all you others bagging Hyosungs, if you're a tall rider than they're the perfect bike.

He is the main mechanic there and had just built it. I'm not saying they're not coming out but I know what the motor of mine looks like and what carbs/injectors look like and this one was new colours and carbs.

Yeah I got mine when there weren't many out there and kindqa took a punt on how it'd turn out. Low power but low price, known history cos you can buy it new and keep it good. They checked all the clearances the other day at nearly 20,000k's and everything was sweet. Low maintainance bill and reliable. Sometimes you have to trade pure speed for something and cos mines a commuter thats it. Pulls from idle too, great for everyday use. Tested a Bandit 250 with Yoshi (?) cams etc and it was a rocket but would have been shit in the congestion and would have pissed me off.

When I stopped in at TSS the other day I saw the new models, and they aren't Fuel Injected. they are exactly the same, with different fairings.

Ollie was saying that the demand for the '07 models will increase, as a lot of people have been asking for the solid coloured fairings.

Apparently, the Fuel Injected models are being rolled out to Australia, but not here yet, maybe in '09.

My bad, I should have taken a closer look. Never mind.
I had a group of other riders mistaking mine for a 650 today (I took the 250 stickers off)

[EnzoYug]

I will consider trading my 07 for the 08-FI.

Im serious.

Whats the point of that?

Ps. What do you mean life begins in 4th gear... Nothing begins in any gear on a hyo lol

[dave_a]

considering you gpx 250 is so much faster
atleast a hyo looks good rather than a gpx which is one of the ugliest bikes ever made,and we all know 250's arent made for their speed

And no I dont have a hyo Im actualy waiting for the new ninja 250 to come out

Hyosung's Oil burner doesn't put out squat compared to Kawasaki's liquid cooled twin. You'll realise that when you get your hands on the next ninja (if you ever do) which I heard they aren't bringing into NZ.

You are right though, 2007 Hyosung looks better than 2007 Ninja, Thats obvious, but theres always some tradeoffs, but personally I wouldn't trade Kawasaki for Hyosung nor would I trade the quality, reputation, nimbleness, lightness, easy handling, power and maneuverability for just looks.
