Tank-slapper on a Hyobag 250

Bew heww heww for yeww hmurphy. The thing you will find about KB is that its a public forum, and people can post where they see fit. If you are disappointed about this, then go elsewhere by all means. If you think the little bit of attention from me is painful, wait until the day the full force of the KB retard team is unleashed upon you. That will make your eyes water.

From the site crybaby thats fucken rich.

to Cowpoos:

I feel threatened and intimidated by your display of dominance and rudeness.

Please do not post in threads that *I* start.

Please do not approach me in person - remain clear from my personal space or I will leave and not return.

If you cant handle the jandal yourself - dont hand it out. or - you could leave and not return waaaaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaaaaaa

Look, All I'm askin from ya, is the rego of this bike, so I (and others) don't end up buying a bike with a very dangerous hidden fault, without it being subject to an engineers report. See? Not hard is it ? So just post the rego plate.

But you won't, will you. Because then you will have to pay for the engineers report. So quit squirming and bleating and fess up.

Yes yes, I know you just wanted to ask for help, and yes I know that has backfired on you, but hey thats life, bro. Next time think carefully before you tell everyone whats wrong with your bike before you sell it.

Ur an asshole. Dont like my opinion? You can fuck off.

[RantyDave]

but hey thats life, bro.

Unfortunately DB has caused me to be conflicted. On the one hand I can't really go through his last dozen posts infracting every one just because he's a total and inescapable tool. On the other hand I just don't give a flying fuck at the moment and it would be an astounding use of ten minutes of my time.

I actually met this lad, y'know. Standing, pissed off, next to his fuxx0r3d hyobag wondering wtf to do next. It was the first time I saw someone actually kick their bike in frustration. He's a bit squiddy, I'll grant you that. With any luck he'll come off at a track at some point, hurt himself really badly, be fundamentally OK, and spend the rest of his days contemplating how much worse it would have been if a truck had been coming the other way. Or a fucking cheese cutter. But he's just a lad, with a bike, he deserves our support and without it he might become a statistic.

The real failures in this story are TSS, who sold a slightly squiddly learner an utter death trap then, by the sounds of things, completely fucked the maintenance into the deal. And Hyosung, manufacturers of said death trap. Hello? The handlebar broke off? It dumps excess oil on the rear wheel? ... and I see we have one losing it's chain today too.

Hyobag's are official utter sacks of shit. Most people (by which I mean more than half) get one that works, but many people don't. It's unfortunate, then, that they get sold to learners. Thankfully Kawasaki now make a "looks like a sprotsbike" 250 so the number of squiddy "new bike" learners on decently made bikes should actually go up, not down.

Best of luck, Mr Murphy (I don't recall your first name, sorry man), and there is no need to disclose your bike's reg number, history or otherwise ... other than to put the word "Hyosung" in the description and hope it acts as a warning all of it's own.

Yeah I was frustrated that I had to ride such a crappy machine!! I gave it a kick because I spent so much time and money keeping her in good condition and maintaining her to then get treated like shit by the bike!! Very frustrating!

I haven't been riding for all that long on road (since half way through March of this year) but I have done near 20,000kms of riding since then
(mostly just fun rides over takas and up to my uncle's farm). I have been riding for 9 years though on motorcross bikes but I have never competed in motorcross. It sucks that I am able to give DRZ400's a good thrashing, crash them etc but NEVER have any problems with the bike. And I treated the Hyosung so well but it kept shitting out. From MY experience, I am only going to stick to brands that have been around for years and years.

My mate got himself a CBR250RR recently and I gave that a bit of a ride too. Compared to the Hyosung it felt much safer (handling wise) and was a bit more exciting with the extra 15 horsepower. It is a shame that they don't still make them because they would have been a great machine if they were around today (for brand new). I didn't get an old 4 cylinder beast (e.g. cbr250rr, zxr, fzr) because if they were to prove unreliable (easily possible with old old bikes) then getting parts could be a mission.

Catch you guys around, maybe at the top of the takas! I am always up there

Inconceivable!

I don't use words like that anymore I use my style to impress.

Raj is that you?

Hello

I bet your trumpy doesn't have MotoGP brakes.

My Limited Edition R6 comes with monoblock usd carbon fiber disks that are unbridged and floating. What do yours have?

[jrandom]

I don't use words like that anymore

I do not think, however, that that word means what you think it means.

Your carbon fibre brake discs are upside down, eh?

[Cr1MiNaL]

Your carbon fibre brake discs are upside down, eh?

Indeed. Valentino's 2009 M1 will no doubt use the same technology. It helps air into the vents hence allowing the disk to cool faster

[jrandom]

Indeed... It helps air into the vents

You'd want to be careful to always keep the bottom half of the wheel on the ground, of course, lest your upside down disks get rotated right way up and lose their cooling efficiency.

Of course.

[jrandom]

Of course.

Actually, what you need is that wondrous technology that boi racer cars have which enables the wheels to turn while an extra layer of chrome bits on the outside of the rims stays stationary.

If your R6 had something like that, your style would be unparalleled.

I also think your bike needs more blue and purple LEDs.

[Gubb]

...but but but... More LEDs means less room for Flames.

MAKE UP YOUR MIND MAN!

There's only so much "Cool" that one bike can handle.

You could, like, pick out the flame shapes with LEDs.

ZOMG, the awesomeness, it asplode my mind!

[Camshaft]

ive owned an 07 hyosung gt250r for 2 years and it has never given me a spot of trouble, i hav it wound out in every gear, take it for up to 3 hour country rides never realy goin below 120 except to corner.
just regular services and it performs fine.
are problems reali that common or do ppl just complain to much

[george formby]

Cheers for the escort!

The rear suspension is very soft, I agree with you there. But this seems to be how they are designed. It is no softer than when I first bought it! These Hyobags are often described as "bouncy castles" or "trampolines" and these descriptions are not far from the truth at all!! I have been bounced around plenty on it.

Yeah I applied for an exemption but they are only removing the restriction on hours I can ride.
An r6 is a crazy fast bike! I have seen every single r6 video on youtube and a hell of a lot of other bike videos on youtube too. What really appeals to me about the bike though is the handling. My handlebars wont lash out and bounce around on a quality bike like an r6.

Thanks for all your help guys, keep the comments coming if you have any. Cheers

I would'nt bet money on that!
