2009 yosung gt250r

I purchased a gt250r a few weeks ago. I'm loving it more and more everyday.



I was really skeptical about buying one after some reviews but after riding it i'm starting to think those bad reviews were just written by people who have never been on one before. After breaking it in and getting it...s 1000km service it has really started to run smoothly. The looks are awesome and its runnning great so far.

Bought it and happy bout it!

I am a new rider, since October 2008. So I don't have alot of time riding. Few companies sell starter bikes. So I looked at this bike and liked what I saw. I've had no problems, and don't mind that it's only a 250cc, it's got just enough go for me. I think it's a great starter bike and would recomme...nd. Read Full Review

Love the bike but a little bumpy

Bike never fails to start, and it pulls me on the highway to 100MPH if i want it to. It holds up to a 20 yr old beating the crap out of it and for 3 GRAND i can't complain. I own a 2007 GT250R



I prefer this bike over the ninja 250 since the ninja sounds like an angry lawn mower at speed. Also the... ninja is way to small for some one my height. I only had a few issues. 1st off the suspension gets soft quickly I'm only at 3K and it is alot softer. The clutch cable also snapped at 2,800. I also love the aftermarket for the bike. Everything can be found on eBay or just a quick Google search of Hyosung Accessories.

It does what it's designed to do. It starts, runs, stops, goes forward, carries a passenger, and gets 70MPG! I will be upgrading next season to the 650 model. Read Full Review

Good in the short term, bad quality

This bike handles fine and looks great. Very attractive styling. But it is a bulky mammoth weighing in at over 450 pounds wet weight (almost 100 pounds more than the class leading Kawasaki ninja 250r). This bike has a low compression ratio compared to other similar bikes.



The most disappointing i...s the build quality. The quality and reliability is non-existent, after only a year the gas tank starts to rust and peel. The transmission becomes clunky and 1st gear fails entirely.

It may look nice, but that is all this bike has going for itself. Read Full Review

great bike

i have owned every brand of motorcycle on the market. And i was not thinking i would not care for this bike due to luke warm reviews in mags i have read. What a wonderful surprise i got when i did ride one. the build quality is as good as the jap bikes i own and i have put 19,000 miles on it so for,... with not one problem of any kind. I find that i will ride this more than any other bike i own ( moto guzzi, bmw r 90, honda 1100,) because it is so lite and easy to handle.I think the Koreans are going to be a major force in the future, they are building great motorcycles at super inexpensive prices and they have a full 2 year warrenty, watch out japan.
