[paulthebassguy]

@1973dodgestepside It's NZ$7000 remember. Which at the time of this video was around US$3500. They're much cheaper in NZ now with the higher dollar.

[Death666wish]

no GT650R EFI review?

[Flamorgan]

Great bikes, much better than the cheaply built Kawasaki which is ancient and slow as well as having an unreliable engine. My only dislike is the weight of the Hyosung which is not a lot lighter than the GT650r. These bikes only cost 3299 gbp in Ireland and are a very good value machine.

[fightnight909]

Is the Hyo faster than the Ninja

[BikeRiderTV]

@fightnight909 No, but it's not that far off the Ninja's performance.

[yerranagusravan]

@fightnight909 to say its faster than the ninja the only drawback is the brand appeal .......

[fightnight909]

@yerranagusravan Thanks.

[CragScrambler]

Aprillia RS 250 > Kawasaki Ninja 250 > Hyosung GT250R

[soerism]

coulde be this Hyo is bigger than ninja 250 because it incorporates V twin compared to two-inline in ninja?

[wakawu]

any clue if the speedometers for the 250R and 250 are interchangeable? i have a 250R with no speedo/front end due to an accident and want to make it into a naked 250. if i buy a 250 speedo would it be plug and play? what do i need to mount the 250 headlight?

[kiwi1ful]

@BikeRiderTV 7g what a rip i got mine for 3800 2006 and 1200 km mint bike tho

[BikeRiderTV]

@kiwi1ful the price quoted is obviously for a new bike off the showroom floor (at the time this video was made I might add). It sounds like you've picked up a real bargain.

[matdaymon]

I've had my 2005 GT250 (not the R model) for close to 2years now and its had no problems at all. Very reliable bikes and very modular (like Lego) parts are interchangeable between the range. The only thing that lets them down in stock form are the Shinko tyres, which although long lasting aren't all that good an all round tyre.

[bollaholla1]

aren't the pegs adjustable? and if i'm 6'2 is this bike big enough?

[BikeRiderTV]

@bollaholla1 - Fraser, the guy reviewing the bike here is 6'3. Yes the pegs are adjustable.

[SuperDrunkwalrus]

@BikeRiderTV Oh thank god im about 6 foot give or take I need a bike im getting my license next year and need a 250 and this is cheaper than a ninja

[logelamutp]

haha

[macroevolve]

A 2010 GT250R costs $3999 before taxes in the US, not sure how that equates to UK pounds

[DSMJames]

My 07 Hyo still runs great. just hit 22k miles XD

[gavinksmith]

It will probably start rusting out in 6 months.

[mickeyblueeyes123]

Hands down the kawasaki ninja is a way better bike they have had over 20 years exp in perfecting this bike , all welds are perfect and paint is great ,The hyosung will start to rust after the first week or off the lot in terms of looks the hyosung is nicer and it does have bigger tires but if all you want is looks then go for the hyosung BUT if you want Looks and quality then the Kawasaki is the one.Big differance between China engine and Japan kawa engine

[pipmysterio]

@mickeyblueeyes123 its korean....hyosung is from korea man

[mickeyblueeyes123]

@pipmysterio same thing both make crap .

[pipmysterio]

@mickeyblueeyes123 well if we compare Korean car and Chinese car, i put my money on korean. they still in learning process, give em some time and i'm sure they can compete with the japanese soon.

[LuIZGAucHoo]

ele ta com um feijao no meio do dente ?

[Swarvus]

Just brought an 08 model , 2nd hand with 1700 miles on it, showroom condition for £2k,, bikes runs FINE and is the perfect begginers bike if your confident.

Also LOOKS THE BOLL-ARKS!

[AlexTrebicki]

Ohhhh lala 2 year compared to 1 year...they give a longer warrantee since theyre scared theyll break. EVEN THO THE POINT OF A LONG WARRANTY IS TO PROVE IT WONT BREAK SINCE THE MANAFACTURER HAS TO PAY FOR REPAIRS i know that im not dumb, hyo is using that to theyre advantage and turning tables on the real point of longer warranty

[crazyidiot101]

i wanna get this bike, please reply to me with one word...

hot or not?

[AlexTrebicki]

@crazyidiot101 hot, but not reason to buy it

[urquhart77]

@crazyidiot101 Hot. I'm coming onto season 4 with mine, and no problems at all. The bike was great to start with, giving me more than enough power. I've dropped it a couple times and there are almost no scratches on it. You will have to replace the battery as the one it comes with will die within the first year, but other than that, the bike is great.

[jsl424]

the 7995 is in new zealand currency

[payvandkkk]

Nice bike.. his older brother the GT650R is even better

[M3TALFLY]

Fucking awesome bike

[MysteryBiker123]

7995 i think i just has a stroke :O

[sahooq]

i just bought a 250gtr but once home i noticed the bikes sticker that says 250 or 650 has been removed . how can i make sure its a 250 hyosung and not less or maybe more :)

[pplofchill]

@sahooq haha race a 600 and see how u do

[cyanide2001]

Do a search for Hyosung GT250RTurbokit! you'll be drooling

[Josh4energy]

I bought this bike so I could learn without killing myself. I loved it. People were always asking what is that thing. I had it for a year and rode the crap out of it. It took redlining daily without problems. Great bike to learn on and has enough power to cruise on the freeway at 9000 rpm around 75mph. My bike topped out @ 110 downhill. Great first bike and way cheaper than Ninja 250 which looks like my Mountain bike, skinny tires.

[NINOBROWN917]

if i closed my eyes while watching this i would of swore it was shreik talking lol

but good review this will defitnitly be my first bike

[kenzboi]

@NINOBROWN917 would very strongly advise you not to get this bike... hyosung are absolute shit..!! bought mine brand new...so many problems mechanically... they may look the best out of the 250's but that it... i had starting problems, electrical problems, brake problems (heard a pop and front brake stopped working) last straw was cam chain timing tensioner went...put a fracture in one of the cyclinders all this withing 3,000 miles!!!... get a jap bike!

[NINOBROWN917]

@kenzboi i plan on getting a 2010 model though

hyosung had alot of problems in the early 2000s

all the later models from 2007 and up seem pretty good

what year hyosung did you purchase

[kenzboi]

@NINOBROWN917 mine was a 2008 model efi ( fuel injected) everything is the same as the bikes now...same engine i believe all they have changed is the rear made it a little smaller and the dash display.. bought mine for £3200 brand new had to throw it at the dealer when i part exchanged it for my zx6r i got now cos he didnt want it! got £1500 for it 1 year later n 3k on the clock! i heard they sold that bike to a bloke n 200 miles dwn the road it had to have a total engine rebuild! hyoshit! lol

[NINOBROWN917]

@kenzboi alot of people say its not the bike but its the dealership that the comsumer purchases it from. i really dont want to get a ninja 250 as my first bike because i think its too small i heard a sv650 suzuki is cool but it looks ugly.the gsr500 looks o.k. i might take my chances on the hyosung there selling the um vs2 for 3,000 brand new 2009 edition also a 2 year warranty

i might just take a chance maybe i'll get lucky lol

[TofuProductionCinema]

@pmate1979

I don't know if you're aware but Hyosung is a korean company.

[chuasmare22]

lucky man. i wish that bike was mine.

[shubidubar]

TEETH

[ezrhino100]

i am looking for a bike to go on 3-6 hour cruises. will this one do? or should i shop for a touring bike?

[gunhound45]

@ezrhino100

if you must get a 250, a ninja 250r would be better.

however, there a re a few very nice 250 cruisers out there.

[FreshNoobDancer]

damn i want this!!!!

[man4real25]

it all about how u maintain ur bike if i give to u a yamaha R1 and never service obviously it will break down and i have Hyo 250 07 naked and it can fly until 177km/h never gives me a problem.

[tjedridge]

can someone tell me exactly wat the top speed is? because theres alot of videos of the hyo doing over 100mph all the websites say is does like 85, is this right? because i have a honda cbr 125r 59 plate and i can get 85 out of that if i want :D can someone please shed some light on this thanks

[Craig23ish]

@tjedridge Mine is a 08 and I love it the fastest Ive got mine to is 106MPH and I still was not redlined.

[earka31]

how much do these run brand new?

[iopghjk001]

the Kawasaki ninja 250r is only 4 grand brand new >.>

[Uv7x77]

@iopghjk001 Hyosung GT250R is $3799 msrp, i got this from the hyosung website

[brimreaper666]

Vtrman@23grizzley ...did you ever consider that most riders looking at this bike are new to the scene and on their 'L's ...stop blowing your own horn and ps you are looking stupid

[Jazza40]

As per addon to last POST:

They will come out on top.

Cry more on your point of view else where, when you obviously haven't ridden one. Its definitely recommended by me.

[23grizzley]

ok ok. i suppose it depends on the rider. and wat you like.

[Jazza40]

@23Grizzley, I have 5 different friends that brought a Hyosung GT250r, AFTER they had rode mine. They have had there's for 1/2 a year now. But Okay, Here's the thing. They are just like Hyundai or ssangyong, new to the market and bad talk about them, BUT look where they are now. That's why they come with a 2 YEAR warranty, and I haven't seen a Honda or Kawasaki with a 2 year, always seems to be a 1 year. THEY are NEW, OK. But give them a break.

[Flamorgan]

@Jazza40 Hyosung have been making bikes since the 1970s as well as making current engines for Kawasaki and Suzuki.They make very good bikes that are excellent value for money and the engines are very heavily over engineered with the cams etc running on proper bearings.

[kscmt]

i still wanna buy one , but not yet :/

[23grizzley]

mate when i first started riding road bikes i got a cbr250 it was old. but i had no problems with it. my mate had a hyo 250r. he had problems everywhere. the bike is made poorly. the swing looks like just two bits of metal sticking out. it rattles. the digital screen barely works. me mate was riding on the freeway and then i drops a cylinder. so if someone was buying a learner legal bike i would recommend a the reliable Honda. or the new kawa i hear they are well made.

[mccarthy155]

@23grizzley lol you have clearly never owned one.. you probly own a kawi and are pissed that its so small it makes u look stupid.

[23grizzley]

if i wanted to look stupid. then i would be riding a GUT less hyo. but i don't i ride a 2007 CBR600rr. pearl white yoshi exhaust system. so who's the person looking stupid now on a bike.

[mccarthy155]

@23grizzley well i guess it would be the one on the tiny 250 kawi like i said

[chrisluke99]

haha its basically a cbr with a 250 engine and hyosung plastics

[joey3847]

on a ninja or Hyo?

[joey3847]

were you in 5th @ 8000 RPM = 100km?

[Maize52]

I'm usually at 7000-7200 RPM when I do 100kp/h

[Condemned580]

I have to disagree with some people, I had bought an 09 Hyo Gt 250R, the quality is alot better than what people say, I have to admet, the kawa is a nice bike but it deosnt come close to the hyo in looks and performance, I was going to buy the kawa but i took them both out for a ride and the kawa sounds like a nagging hag and to keep up speed on a freeway you need to keep it past 8k rpm to stay at 100km/h and has no torque compared to the hyo... My 09 hyo runs like a raped ape.

[mccarthy155]

@Condemned580 Same.. mine has been fucking awesome.. I recommend it to everyone.

[SKIPPYISAAUSSIE]

@Condemned580 LMFAO RUNS LIKE A RAPED APE Classic

[TeranceHHH]

@Condemned580 : Hope it launches in India soon!!!

[M3TALFLY]

@Condemned580 Raped ape, Too right mate

[AlexTrebicki]

@Condemned580 your hyo will start to fall apart quicker than a kawa though. yes hyo is probably good for awhile, maybe better in looks than a ninja (i own a ninja, im not a pussy defending it Hcore so can admit some of the things on the hyo look meaner) but quality is what matters, detail. PASSSIONNN

[mikepartyboy]

Kawasaki are assholes for thinking they can raise the price of the 250r and sell the same as they did the first year...when they were 3499 msrp.

4000msrp?? PSSTTcchheeyeahh right.

not even direct injection.

Hyosung GT250r is direct injection and coms with the nice headlights, speedometer, and aggresive rake handle bar angle

[bahnkla4]

can you get these in america?

[simysimy9]

yes

[saadmanh]

pretty thick kiwi accent.

[bradman158]

i rekon ur rs125 couldnt beat a rgv250

[VRCommy]

GT250Rs are pretty good. I just got an '07 and it rides quick enough and handles pretty well. Sure its not a "name brand" but why bother spending heaps of money on a Kawasaki, Honda etc when you're learning just to get a 250 anyway? Get a Hyo and save the big money for a big bike when you get your license.

[Fuier]

The Kawasaki 250r 08-09's are around $4,000 how much are the new Hyosungs? kinda new to bikes gonna get my license soon but i need a bike :)

[ejhieviugiejbv]

3600 they just came out with the gt250r fi

wich is efi

[x7afroman7x]

if your new to bikes dont buy a new one, buy and older 250cc because if you lay down a new one your just gonna be pissed at yourself

[23grizzley]

@x7afroman7x yeah mate i agree. cbr250rr

[nixrate]

not really. i picked my 250rr up for about 3500 in pretty mint condition. 31k on it. and jeez they are a better bike. faster handle better and the build quality is 1000%. the hyo 250r's at uni are in shocking condition and are new models around 16 years younger than my bike. 250r is ok don't get me wrong but i reckon there are better bikes out there.

[Jakebification]

good point man. im about to pick up my 09 gt250r, reading your comment reassures me that im not wasting my money. cant wait to get a real bike though

[mikepartyboy]

reason people choose kawasaki 250r over this is because of quality, and resale value.

No one considers hyosung to be in the same level as kawasaki.

you learn on a 250r and plan to sale it later on, you lose money with hyosung while kawasaki you sell for about the same price you bought it.

[kenzboi]

I got one of these...although im trying to sell it..upgrading to a bigger bike....lovely machines....mines an 2008 model only done 3200 miles n in showroom condition £2400 message me if interested...

[daporkchopexpress]

R u jkin? lol I ride and Aprilia RS125 and it can piss alllll over cbr 250s lol the hyosungs are ok if u r on a budget and the only cbrs worth getting are the 600s and upwards lol the 250 isnt a bad looker tho

[deejaietincknell]

haha i was in a silly mood so i thought i'd be a jackass... lol. yeh i was going to get an rs125... but i like to hammer it and the cbr is bullet proof and quite powerfull if you know what your doing and add some mods.... the rs125 is a race bike with lights lol its not fair to compare :P

on the other hand the hyosung looks shit hot... and is quite powerfull down low (v-twin bastards) i saw one on the way to work once the gloss black -droolage... thought it was a 600... but build quality eh

[daporkchopexpress]

Well your not far wrong lol the GT250R does use the frame from a CBR 600 i think lol Its funny you should say you were gonna get an RS lol coz i was gonna get a CBR 250 LOL I saw a kid with a few Hayabusa stickers on his Hyosung and it had me going for a second lol beefy soundin bikes me likey very much haha

[ActiveStorage]

i dont get it.. why u guys talk about cbr250rr and aprilia rs125.. are these street-legal now?! woah.. plz explain thanks

[daporkchopexpress]

Yh in england 2-strokes are legal lol in america and canada they are not due to emissions (I think.

[ActiveStorage]

lol. thanks

now that i've read some about it i think new 2 stroke engines are legal all over the world haha except canada and some US states. so retarded

[wansaurus]

is this bike good? as in no complain at all?

[xavipound]

check out my vid yall i got mine a week from the video.....its a cool bike for begginer i paid 4000 brand new took the ugly decals looking forword to put in new decals and a new exhaust ill be putting new videos as soon as i get better riding this sucka

[sushisushifriedrice]

hows the performance on this bike?

does it suddenly vibrate a lot at around 5000 revs?

wondering difference between gt250r and gt250

[LXROL]

yes mine does vibrate between 5 and 6000 rpms

performance is okay, gets the jobs done

fun to ride tho

[mccarthy155]

great video, I just bought one of these today. Can't wait

[bowmasta]

How much did it cost you?

[mccarthy155]

5195, 6200 with all taxes and such.

[jimomapsta]

I just bought one second hand with 2,000klm for au$3,500 SICK BIKE!!!!!!!!!!
