Have never ridden one. I hear Hyosung knocks off Suzuki engines... Not sure if that is true.

Want a 250... Get the Ninja

I'm pretty sure that's inaccurate.

I believe they basically make inferior, heavier knockoffs of Suzuki engines.

I've read a few owners reviews of Hyosung 250s (the sportbike faired version). They've been mediocre at best, at least, not good or consistent enough for me to warrant a feeling of ever intentionally buying one. The concept and idea are sound, but the execution it seems is not.

Actually i have read alot about them, in magazine. They are owned by Suzuki(i think by partnership). I have read several reviews, on them by foriegn motorcycle magazines, which gave them good praise(Hyosung is not new they have been around in other countries beside ours). I am just wanting an owners opinion or one that has thuroughly riden one. If you want proof i will look for it and then post it.

Yeah, I've seen that. I've also seen the owner on SBN post, as well as guys who've bought one for his son as his first bike. Mentioned something about how some random parts were not properly installed on the bike when it was put together - little things, like brake pads

lol But I guess that's the bike mech's fault.

Anyway, buy what you want, its your money and your decision. I'm not looking for a Vtwin 250 - I'm happy with mine

If there's a dealer in your area, go down and check them out. See if you can test ride too. I think that'd give me a better footing to go on as far as feeling more confident in the bike.

The Ninja 250 is the only 250 that will get you to 100mph

Kawasaki flat twins are indestructible. In the past year I have put 11,000 miles on my Ninja 500-R and it still runs like brand new. I am sure the 250 is as reliable.
