Bike for a beginner

[Mythical007]

Gn's go hard and I had two of em ...*well i wrote one off but thats another story* However it sucks that they actually have stopped making them now... So you would have trouble finding a new one

hyosung, mine has been the sweetest to own, fits mint, runs mint, handles better than a few of the bikes ive been trying out while looking into upgrading, its actually gutted me a bit cos i was hoping for something bigger and better but the hyo just keeps pip'n them at the post.

i do ride like a nana tho, did i mention cheap to run, $22 = 350km round town, some times more.

Hi there from another newbie rider (4 weeks)
I have just bought a new Hyosung Aquilla cruiser and just love it. It has a low centre of gravity and I believe the frame is based on a Fatboy style and is quite chunky.
I have had heaps of guys admire it as an excellent first bike and it has plenty of pick up.
Good luck with it
Maggie

Also riding a Hyosung GV250 cruiser and also loving it. You can see some recent pictures right here, but please don't ask me any questions about the panniers just this moment, it's a sensitive subject.

Okay the last time I rode a GN going a decade back so things could have changed with newer models but it really struggled to get to Open Road speeds (or maybe thats just with my fat ass on it ) so if your planning on going on motorways or anything like that I wouldn't recommend them. If your just gonna be in 50-80k zones then no worries GN is a simple reliable machine and easy to fix + plenty of parts around.

Whatever you get I recommend a nice forgiving 4 stroke over a 2 Hyo's are good maybe consider a naked over the faired so you can drop it (or at least get crash knobs) a baby suzy bandit or honda hornet also wouldn't be a bad choice I wouldnt try for a CBR etc.. seem to cost too much second hand for what you get in the 250cc range.

Whats with all these pussies going on about Ginnies and hyobags..??!!!


mate, save ya self a load of hassles and coin at the same time and buy a thousand. Summer fest too .. be quick !!

Nuff said.


not quite 'nuff.. Buy an R1. Don't listen to these people harping on about hyosungs this and that.. they're terrible handlers; cheap and nasty and made for an audience ( those who have no idea! )

another money saving idea by McBoomer.
