at one stage along the straights . the cuzzy has a 400 supersport duke and we changed bikes for a bit he was well impressed

I have had nothing but a great run with my GT250R. Has not missed a beat either. If it was not for the simple fact that I want to do some long distance two up touring riding in the future, I would be keeping my GT250R as my commuting bike. But alas can't afford to run two bikes and a cage(for when I'm forced to drive)......So in a few months it will be bye to a really great first bike....

yea there awesome but yep in may i intend to get a 650 and see how they go and upgrade to the mighty water cooled beast

They are good bikes.....mine has served me well, 30,000 k's and counting. Once you've got a decent set of tyres on them as well as a decent chain and sprocket set, you're away laughing.

I loved mine as well. I actually miss it. Never had a problem in 18 months.

**2fellas** · 10th November 2008, 14:59

Similar story to my own except I had my full for awhile years ago, had to get it again after change of licenses I no longer had the motorcycle class argued the point with the AA got no where so rode around for awhile without one

So in otherwords I've owned quite a few bikes before owning the Hyo.

My wife rides a GT250 and I ride the GV250 every day. I like both bikes and despite the Hyo bashing on KB that would suggest otherwise they haven't had any real issues only thing so far is a new clutch cable which is pretty standard.

I got rid of the stock tyres on GT as we use both bikes in all weather (daily commute) so didnt want the Mrs to ride a second winter with the stocks. Still riding mostly stock on the GV (using sintered pads instead of OEM) although the chain is okay I'm thinking a different one would be good in another 2000 K's.

Can't complain had the bike for 14 months and just coming up to 10,000ks and no problems

**GrayWolf** · 13th November 2008, 19:04

I was on the 1000k'er and there was an older rider with a 250 Aquilla. I dont know if there's much tuning difference from the GT. However, I read in a lot of posts that the Hyo's are underpowered etc. Well 1000k would show that up, and let me say that Hyo did remarkably well. Ok the group(s) he rode with were 100-120kmh riders, but most were 600cc plus machines. He in no way got left behind through traffic. As per usual 'peak power' has no relation to 'real world riding' and that Hyo was plenty good enough for that purpose.

so true mate ...ive had mine since july done almost 5000 k and its a great bike ..will need a new chain soon though.....got enough power for me though
