    Can't comment on the P200NS and the GT250R for obvious reasons of not having ridden it.

    But having ridden the KTM 200 Duke, matching its low and mid range would be a tall task for the GT250R. One also has to see how vibration free will the GT650R be at high revs.

      What is it with the Exhaust though? Can't they design a good looking exhaust at all for their GT's??

                This review says GT250r is all show and no go.... Ninja250r being the best quarter-liter sportbike.....and CBR250r being the most practical and best VFM.
                Lets see how the Indian Auto Journalists review this bike.
                never take word of foreign mag comparison seriously , let wait for our own journo's reviews and mainly i can depend on Xbhp reviews

                ..there would be many who would be blown away by its BIG BIKE looks at a price which I guess would be less than that of the much compact Ninja 250R.
                +1 and BTW 28BHP is not bad either

                Weight: 188kg
                Transmission: 5gears
                Max power: 26hp

                Probably will be priced around 2.2-2.3lakh
                i read somewhere its 172kg anyway only down point is 5 gears

                Is this the 2012 version or are they selling us the older models now?

                Somethings to ponder about:
                How will Hyosung sell this thing with their limited dealership in this country?
                Would the spares be affordable or will it be just another Ninja where the initial cost is managable but the cost of ownership and spare parts blow a hole in ur pocket?
                i read somewhere that 2012 model has some tweeking and tuning apart from that its similar to 2011 model
                now garware has 13 showroom across india [from there website] and as they said a year ago they are on target

                according to me Ninja is around 70K over priced , and now this can fill that gap.. idially now 250cc segment has divided in to 3 now with this

                  Is the R Comet/Comet R a 250 cc or 650 cc?

                      Overpriced it might be, but still the Ninja 250R is worth every paise.. the engine + handling on the Ninja 250R is simply awesome.

                      Not without reason it is called the best 250 cc in the world.

                      So there has been a chage in chassis on the 250, but then the pics posted by Sunny on the first pages show two different types of frames on the GTR and R Comet/Comet R.

                          Well, that should not happen; even if it does, a disclaimer should suffice; in the absence of disclaimer posting an irrelevant pic for a text, add to that following mishaps (hope BAL doesn't see these) ...time to move on



                          In my strongest instinct, it is still a pic of Hyosung 250cc

                                Hyosung Motors & Machinery Inc. has now been renamed as S&T Motors Co. Ltd, but the Hyosung brand name remains unchanged.
