Finally had my bike day

#1 Unread post by xk »

After almost a year full of frustrating delays I finally got my bike... it's a Hyosung GV250. Really good mannered bike and pretty decent look considering its size. Perfect for noobs like me.

Loved it so far :D :D :D

Pls help to upload pic :oops:

Cool. To post a picture the first thing you have to do is upload the picture to photobucket.com or tinypic.com or someother site. When you upload the picture the site will give you the pictures web address so copy that address to your clipboard. Next type

Yeah Hyosung seems to be taking the cue to make their bikes look nice. The GT250R looks way better than a Ninja 250 too.

But yeah, great looking bike (and jacket) enjoy the heck out of it!

I've said it before; Korea has learned its lessons well from Japan. They are now in their next generation and looking good. In the next few years it will be just like the Korean cars, you'll have as many choices in the Korean market as you do in most other countries bikes. Look at Hyundai and Kia. They now make a competitive car, and they started with just one model that was el cheapo.

Very nice looking bike. Have a great bike day!

My experience is limited to a few miles riding it but I must say it's got a reassuring ride and doesn't look or feel inferior to the comparable bikes made by the big four bikes.

Was a bit worried whether I was doing the right thing after reading a few threads bashing the Hyo GT250 as POS but the bashing seemed to come mostly from ppl who haven't even seen one let alone ridden (is that right?) one.

I followed all the hints and tips posted when it came to safety in riding and gear but am glad I ignored all the Hyo bashing. :D

Don't care what name is on the tank, friends (bikers and non bikers) really approved of my choice. :)

Wow. I agree with the others. That's a great-looking 250. The Rebel LOOKS like a tiny little bike. But yours could pass for - "I have no idea, but it can't be a 250."
