Hyosung GTR250R, good/bad?

[EJK]

I give a thumb up for the GT250R.
Some people will say "Ahh thats too slow!", but it's got enugh power to overtake a car from 100kph.

I've been riding a couple of single cylinders (Scorpio, FXR150) but neither of them comes close to the power(?) of the mighty(??) V Twin lol

If I have the money, I'd buy one.... Really...

Honestly think about it (Compare to my bike). It starts every time, goes well, got enough power, it's new, looks good, reliable, big size (good for upgrading), good resale value etc...

Highly recommended

Bogus ! I have seen three that have been rolled bowled and arseholed, and they had scratched fairings, broken levers and indicators, and bugger all else.

thats just what I've seen and heard. it may be the same as what people say about suzukis, who knows.
I'm not saying they are bad bikes. in fact if I needed another bike and could afford one I would definatly consider getting one.

I've crashed twice now, and the only bits that broke were the mirrors and indicators.

Minor scuffing to the fairings.

Good bikes. They run well and are a great learner's bike.

However, make sure you go for the '07 or '08 models - don't go for the '06. The '06 models are not particularly bad, but the '07s at least are a big jump in terms of design and quality. I couldn't believe how much better I felt riding an '07 Hyosung compared to an '06.

The frame is apparently 40% stronger with the '07s and onwards as well.

I have the 07 comet and love it had a minor problem with break light switch not working which was just a loose connection apart from that its a lot of bike for the money. The brake problem is a myth they stop me everytime no probem you want bad brakes jump on a virago!

Also $250 and waiting about 48-72 hours for parts to arrive from korea and you can upgrade the brakes on the comet.
