Thread: xBhp First Impression: Hyosung GT250R

how come the ex-show room price changes across the states .. is it should be the same all over india right ??

Price - DSK Hyosung - Brings Hyosung home

The exhaust looks so cheap, i feel like crying.
The standard exhaust on the Ninja 250r looks way better.
Kinda still love the overall look of the bike though. I hope there's an ownership thread in the near future so that we can all better understand the performance of this bike over a longer period of time, maintenance costs etc...

S**T if you put 1.1 Lakhs extra you can buy a GT650N

Parked next to its peers, the Hyosung looks like it has all the right stuff to be the most proficient sporting machine of the group, but things aren’t always what they seem.
The brakes are severely lacking and there’s simply too much bike for the motor. And the fact that it had some mechanical hiccups and needs frequent maintenance can’t be overlooked.

Finally coming to the big question. The Ninja at Rs 2.85 lakh, ex-showroom Delhi feels a bit expensive, but offers a package that keeps you smiling. The Hyosung’s pricing of Rs 2.75 lakh feels too much for what the motorcycle offers. The clear winner here then is the Kawasaki Ninja 250R, a motorcycle that’s acclaimed globally as one of the best 250cc motorcycles. The GT250R? Well, it just needs to up its game to a new level to stand a chance at the given price point.

MOTORBEAM:

The Hyosung GT250R is a mixed bag. While it has the goodies on paper (in terms of performance), it lacks many features one would expect at that price. There is no liquid-cooling or 6-speed gearbox and buyers would expect ABS as standard. The GT250R doesn’t offer the twin-cylinder punch in its performance but it’s gorgeous looks make up for it. The big bike looks and feel of the GT250R are the strong points going for it, with the only hindrance in its path to success is its pricing. Grapevine suggests something close to the Ninja 250R, which would be hard to justify for the Korean automaker.

BS MOTORING:

Rs 2-2.2 lakh is more like it. The deal is that the market has been spoilt by, first, the CBR250R’s pricing and later, the Duke 200. Agreed, it’s a twin and before the KTM came in, the equipment levels were right up there too but what it lacks is the certain cohesiveness and fluidity – not to forget brand value – which the motorcycles from that little country east of Korea do perfectly.
Here’s what we have to say – when you’re expected to charge close to ` 3 lakh (give or take) for a 250, your bike better be bloody good, so good in fact that it’s secretly worshipped deep inside your competitor’s R&D departments. The price factor aside, this Hyosung has got the looks, the full sportsbike feel, good cycle parts and adequate performance. But on the flip side of the coin, it’s too big a motorcycle for the motor, is taxing to ride every day, has power delivery that needs some tweaking and the build is getting there but isn’t there just yet. Traditionally, the prime selling point of Hyosung was the kickass value-for-money factor but we don’t see any of that here. Critically, it doesn’t know where it’s going – nor does it do any one single role perfectly. If it could commute or tour or go around a track in anger, and do those one or two roles effortlessly, it would’ve justified its place in the market. As with the GT650, all we need to do is to ask the GT250R to shed its attire. Politely, of course.

@ Payeng : The Reason why i Always Stick on Your Blog !

Beautiful write up !

hatters gonna hate dis machine bt fo me its best looking 260 cc bike

A well briefed review with beautifully captured pictures.
Point Noted : An air cooled Vtwin???? For me that is the question providing the two lakh plus bike. I did got a chance to ride one, The ride experience on a straight road was untouchable but then The ride was in winter, and I could still feel a bit of "warmth" coming from the bike (in city ride). Seldom, I think what ought to be the condition of the steed in summer??!! !

all experts and Hyosung owners, plz give your opinions-- >>
