2008 Hyosung

[Radar]

Post here if you have info on new Hyo's.

So far this is what I have:
http://www.cycletrader.com/find/list...T250R-89679942

100MPH, 106 MPG, two year limited warranty - unlimited kilometres

Not entirely convinced that the above bike is a 2008 model since I cannot see 2008's here: http://www.hyosung.com.au/Products.html
or here: http://www.hyosung.com.au/News.html

[edit] Looks like the new line up will include a 1200 cc model:

Australia’s top-selling 250cc roadbike, the Hyosung GT250R, is now available in two new striking two-tone colours: red/black and silver/black.

The '08 models here aren't Fuel Injected, they still have Carby's.
The FI models went to Australia, but not here, the '09 should be Fuel Injected.

Awesome photo!

Sorry Bik3r, but that's an '07, it may have been registered in '08 though, the '08 models have two-tone fairings.

Gee... ta. The bike rocks too!

Was tempted, but preferred to stay with a standard recognised Jap brand. They haven't been out long enough to find out how good they are from a long term perspective.

Good looking bikes plus pretty good write-ups.

Maybe not in NZ but Hyosung was the official motorcycle of the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, and Hyo started 30 years ago.

Yes, I do see what you are saying. I looked at the 650 Cruiser. Nice bike, but was put off by silly things like a rear Drum brake rather than a disc. I also thought that the Boulevard was worth paying a little more for. Didn't buy either in the end.

You sure about the drum brake? None of the reviews or specs mention this. See:
http://www.bikez.com/motorcycles/hyo...uiser_2007.php

If there is little difference in price, I can understand wanting to go for a Boulevard since they have greater brand recognition.

Yeah, 'tiz... but as you say imported and reg'd 08... I got one of the last lost of solid colours to be imported. I don't like the two-tone colours as much.

THATS WHY I SAID IT WAS A PREVIEW MODEL.....

Will be released in 09, but will be 08 versions. NZ is two years behind on the distribution list. Nz might not even see them until 2010. If at all

Sorry Bik3r, but that's an '07, it may have been registered in '08 though, the '08 models have two-tone fairings.

Not all of the 08 models are two toned. Is an option. They will still have the solid colours as well.
