Can someone tell me specifically why the Hyosungs are bad?

[Drew]

Haven't read anyone elses opinion, but it will be wrong if it doesn't agree with me so there's no point.


Why is it, do you think, that nearly NO Hyosung 250 riders, upgrade to the 650?

Hyosung is responsible in part for a huge increase in young people getting interested in bikes again in NZ, but the product is not as good as nearly everyone elses.

This is fairly interesting, I wonder if someone could get hold of Eyegasm and ask his thoughts on what's proved to be more reliable. His 07 GT250R Hyosung which had done 43,000km when he traded it or his 07 ZX6R done early 20's? I recently sold a GT650 to a dude with a 2006 GV250 he'd had since new and done 106000 trouble free kays on. Replaced it because it started to have a funny rattle.

Doesn't agree with me...So it's wrong.

Of course your opinion is important to us ... and we are eager to hear what you have to say ...

Probably because it's only got twice the horsepower than the 250 ...

But only keep them untill the warranty runs out ...

[fastoyz]

i think they are a pretty good bike up to the 20-25k km mark, then its all down hill from there.

[Teflon]

I'm yet to see a hot bitch posing with a hyosung.. I've come to the conclusion that only queers ride them

Going downhill everywhere is reccommended on Hyo's ...

He's your Bro' so he's allowed to argue with you isn't he?

[Drew]

Searched for a pic of a model draped over a Hyosung. I couldn't find one.

What I did find, was a Hyosung I want!

PS - you didn't say a good one...!

[rapid van cleef]

I rode a hyo 250(2005) once. It looked good .....from a few metres away. However, it felt cheap and nasty in every regard compared to my older jap litre bike. The owner had it fall over once, by acident of course and the clip on snapped in half! Theres been loads of issues with the fueling on it also. They are fixed now. But, as a cheapie bike, i think its ok. Certainly better by comparison than my first car.

Like others have said, I'd rather buy a 10 year old jap bike than a 5 yr old hyo.

[ducatilover]

Hmm let me see.
The Hyoshits are good value for money.
Early ones had issues, the general majority of which got fixed.
No they're not as well built as a Jap brand who have spent far more money on making the product, but they aren't aimed at that market really.

The 250 is simply a boring commuter.
The 650 is an SV650 engine (which to my albeit limited knowledge has always been produced by Hyosink under licence for Suboringzuki) in a wonderfully heavy frame with cheap suspension and superbly tacky design, much the the 250.

So essentially one is like a cheaper Ninja 250, that normal size people fit on
The other is a fat sack of boring.

The same applies for the GV series
And I don't think Hyoboys are new to the bike game either, I'm sure they've been doing it a while

[Zamiam]

They just haven't reached the 50 years of experience the big jappa companies have.

or the 110 years of Harleys

Yup, they build a properly high quality product.
