Everyone has an opinion whats yours. Hyosung?

[Gummie]

I have just bought one after spend a lot of saturdays trying bikes and for my height/weight it was comfortable. So now i am interested in people who do/dont own one and there thoughts good/bad.

Believe it or not my second choice was a honda vtr250.

[Mr Merde]

It has two wheels and an engine.

Its a motorbike.

To me the rest is only a matter of personal taste.

Enjoy riding your pride and joy.

Why would you buy one then ask for opinions?!?!? I chose the Ninja over the hyobag, it suited me more height wise.... and I'm very happy with my choice! Happy riding...

[Creeping Death]

Same as above.Enjoy!

It's interesting that you find the GTR "comfortable" after trying lots of bikes, and it seems you HAVE tried lots of bikes.

Mine was really hard on my wrists and I figured there were other bikes that were more comfortable, not that we tried any of them - we instantly loved the GT250Rs styling etc.

Sounds like you have some experience - how do you find cornering it in comparison to the other bikes? Cornering mine feels like the real deal.

There are simple mods you should know about - cartridge emulators fir right in the front forks, totally transforming the front end of the bike - cost likely under $500. Rear shock gets replaced completely as its unserviceable, and the now-famous GT-R bumpy ride problem vanishes. This is the bikes biggest problem.

Perhaps they are getting better, but it's no coincidence that they are generally referred to as 'Hyobags'

[Hitcher]

but it's no coincidence that they are generally referred to as 'Hyobags'

Mostly by people who have never ridden one. Probably for the same reason that Honda riders are allegedly "gay" and why Harley riders allegedly never wave back.

Why do bikers have to be so fucking tribal about their bikes? We're already a minority amongst road users generally without further dividing ourselves against each other based on our choice of ride.

Perhaps this thread is just a troll, and I have unwittingly risen to nibble its dangling bait. I can but hope.

Congrats!!! It's always nice to see someone's excitement at their first bike purchase.

I have a VTR250 and I wouldn't have anything else to be honnest...but that's just me.

What I do know of the Hyosung, is that they're a very cool looking 250, sound good if they've got the right pipes, and are generally good value for the money.

However, when you get a good one, all is well, but if you get a bad one, then your life will pretty much be misery...or so I'm told!

So there is wishing for you that all is well and that you get to enjoy it as much as you deserve to!

I like Hyosungs. Abit overweight but it goes preety well! (compare to my current bike ffs!)

[DarkLord]

Whoflungs are on the improve, if you ask me. I used to have an '06 GT250R which I wrote off in a crash, and that was a bit dodgy, had lots of problems with it, such as fork seals blowing, bike hated neutral, etc.

I currently ride an '07 GT250R and it is a far better bike. Gear changes are a lot smoother, doesn't seem to wobble around corners like the old one did, and a wee bit peppier! My current Hyosung has done 25,000 k's and I've had next to no problems with it, besides a flat battery that needed to be replaced.

I think they are great learner bikes as they more or less give you the feel of a 600 (not due to performance of course - I'm talking in terms of weight and physical size) so that when you do upgrade it shouldn't be so much of a jump (at least in terms of getting used to the physical size of the bike) as it would if you went from a GN125 to a Hayabusa.

I think the Hydrobag name has been badly affected by some of the tossers who ride them.

[ckai]

Congrats mate. There's nothing like being on two wheels (whatever you drive/ride) or even 1!

For me, I find the Hyo more stable that the Ninja probably because it's fat.

As for reliability, I had some big problems to start with but the guys at [insert plug in] Bay City Motorcycles were nothing short of brilliant. It didn't piss me off since it happened at the start and it's been sweet since.

And before any of you jump on it, the wife's ninja had issues as well but they were sorted also.

I can only compare the Hyo with the Ninja and for me the Hyo suits me heaps better and feels much nice to corner. The wife wanted one as well but looked like a midget on it. She digs the ninja though (just not as much as the Hyo ).

It's so true what the say that you have to find a bike that suits you.

Why do bikers have to be so fucking tribal about their bikes?

Too true. Anyone else notice that sports bike riders very rarely get acknowledged by the "cruisers"? Or is that just because we look like pricks?
