this is a much better pic of the hyosung 650R... looks the same as the 250 actaully. which is good for the 250.
among many other things, that's one of the reasons i like the gixxers . i like the headlight setup.
if only suzuki still continued to make GSX-R250s that would have been cool.

Yeah the 125, 250 and 650 GT and GT-R's are all pretty much the same.
The half faired S model is only available in the 650.
Asthetically I prefer having the side by side 'twin' headlight set up

It's a guideline
R at the end uauslly signifies a race replica, whereas an S or ST usually implies sportstourer, F seems to be used to differentiate between a 'naked' bike and its sibling with a fairing...
Everything else pretty much depends on the manufacturer. Sometimes I think they have scrabble sets that they pull letters from at random.

nope, it won't be small... the ninja 250 actually fits bigger rides better than the 500 bec of the diff in design.
but you know... just sit on one and have them hold it upright to get a better feel of how you fit on it.

Hyosung makes scooters...and they aren't even good at that. I would not recommend a Hyosung bike. You probably won't get your money back on the resale, parts will be a little pain, and its Chinese.....
