Confused Hyosung

[sil3nt]

It is a photoshop job... and poorly done.... look at the frame for a start...

I think you might be on to something here.

[ducatilover]

Have you ridden one?

yes, they are nothing to write home about. The 650 is okay, that's all.

[Bonez]

We still talking bikes ... ????

I thinks so. I passed an RF900 once in the pouring rain on the GB400, may she rest in peace. The RF was obviously the better bike but a measely 400 single could piss over it in a downpour. Why was that? I'm not a great rider by any means. I guess what I'm trying to get a across it's not just the bike/brand, but the rider ability as well. .

For some of us OK is just fine n dandy.

It's fine for me, but, I wouldn't be excited about one. Boring works, i ride a CB400 every day and am happy with it's boring turbine-like motor, boring good brakes, boring good suspension and reasonable comfort. I would happily buy a GT650(R) at the right price, although i personally think they are hideous in faired form.

Haha well personally I prefer to ride something that looks (and handles) much better than just okay

Still, different strokes for different folks and all that

Eggzaccerry. It'd be rather boring if we all liked the same thing.

[White trash]

Tru' dat. :P

I just kinda feel sorry for the Hyos sometimes... nobody likes them...

Well as they're the biggest selling 250 in NZ, it's apparent that a fair number of people like them.

Our GT250R demo with noisey pipe is actually a bit of a larf cane around the place on.

Nothing to do with the complete lack of performance? The huge weight and small power, even worse than the gutless new Ninja things.

Ahhhh, that'll be why the top five bikes in the 250 pro stock National class are all Hyosungs then.

Nothing to do with the fact that the riders are good? Or that the other competitors have similar power/weight? The lighter, more powerful VT250 Spada wasn't allowed in, 148kg-40hp trumps the Hyo, and I found I was quicker up my favorite road on the Spada (I'm a biased fuck bag though and did huge Km's on that one)
Are there any new Ninja 250R things in the 250 ProStock? From memory, the Hyo was a bit sportier to ride in terms of seating and had better brakes. I got over test riding new 250's after the new VTR250.

Shh! You're much funnier when you've been drinking.

I still think riding a hyosung would be like riding a ugly chick, no matter how well it performs, it's still putrid to look at.

The headlights especially?

The headlights especially?

The light designed to be reminiscent of an MV F4 with the Ducati 999 stacked lights in it, with the curves/indents either side to look like a k4 or 5 Gixxer 600/sem-fiddy?

Whatever they are meant to look like, they are still an amalgamation of horror

I remember the succinct "What the fuck" I uttered upon first looking at one...
I have no doubts that they are a great learner bike and the 650 is a good mid size twin, but the styling is a big blatant rip off...

Each to their own, some people like plastic faces and tits...
