Default VERY VERY Confused - Ninja 250r or Hyosung GT650

Hey fellas,

I AM NOT INTERESTED IN KAWAK 650

I ve been pretty confused for a while now. Please help me out!~


Recently I ve been to Garaware and check out Hyosung GT560 - Which looks like a beast compared to Ninja 250.

Size:Hyosung
I guess I will go with Hyosung :- cuz it is bigger and suits me nice (I am 6 ft).

Style : Hyosung/Kawak

Both looks brilliant:- Ofcourse cant compare both segments . I think since Hyosung is 650 cc and is huge :- probably i ll go with Hyosung.

Stance : Hyosung is very aggressive and inclined compared to 250 and I definitely go with Hyosung.

Brand :- Kawak
Sound :- Hyosung
Price :- Kawak

back of my mind says :- instead spending 3 lac on 250 cc if i could afford 5 - I d get 650cc. along with that the luxury or riding a middle weight ofcours a HEADTURNER on Indian roads and not to mention about the sound.

As a company I dont know how far can I trust Hyosung , I have no clue of the support and other issues :- What if they shut their India process? And the resale Value is pretty bad compared to 250.

MY ULTIMATE AIM IS TO UPGRADE TO A Lt BIKE in 2-3 years .


Please help me to pick one, please note that I am not comparing these 2 :- I want to kno which one is a good option.


Many thanks

Why are you comparing ninja 250 with Hyosung GT 650 as both are way different and again if you see from all aspects, i wanna ask you do you have experiences in higher cc bikes if no than i would recommend the ninja 250R.

If money is never thought for you go for the Hoysung It will be like your training ground for the upcoming liters.

If money matters, however you are going to upgrade settle with the quater liter!

PS: Advice assuming you took your vows for safe riding!

Thanks buddy :-

I am not comparing them 2, I dont kno which one to go far...

I do not have forehand experience riding 400 cc above in India :- I did bit of riding on n off when i was away from India.

To sum up, If I get started with 650 - I d still need to learn the skills...

The problem is , I feel odd to pay 3 lac when the actually value of Ninja outside India is around $3000 ish - Which is under 2 lac..

And On Hyosung :- They look better and cooler on road while compared with them 250's

Transitioning from a 250 to a liter presents its own share of troubles.

Where is the confusion my friend???

Migration from 250cc to 1000cc+ will not be as comfortable as from 650 cc to 1000cc+

hey prad if you have experience of 400 than i would think Gt650R or ninja 650 R are good options for you, but since you ruled out the big ninja than Gt650 is only left out.

Ride safe.
