Thats poor for a 250cc.....then Im hearing its more!!! Hyosung is garbage then Im hearing there is nothing wrong with them people are just hating on Hyosung......I CANT TAKE IT!!!!! WHICH FRICKING BIKE SHOULD I BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

The bad stuff you hear about United Motors (Hyosung) are from kids that run around at full bore until they break.

I dont know about the Ninjas. I do know the Hyosungs get med 70s mileage.

I have a 650 and it runs just fine, 100 miles a day, 5 days a week

Answer 2

The 250R does not get 40MPG. A friend of mine got one about 3 weeks ago and he is averaging around 60. He does a lot of riding on the interstate at 70 - 75 MPH which is the only reason it is that low. That is a lot of RPM's for a 250. There is no doubt that the Kawasaki will be a great bike. The Hyosung, I just can't say. I've heard some good comments but you never really know if you can believe the person or if they are just saying it's great because they own one. If you can actually find a Ninja, that would be the safest bet. Great looking bike also.

Answer 3

there both nice i personally would get the ninja but im a loyal kawi rider ,but in the end its up to you go down to the dealer check both of them out really well then decide cuz in the end your money is paying for nobody elses

Answer 4

I don't know anything about the Hyosung.  I owned a 2006 Ninja 250 and the lowest mileage I ever got was 48.  I'm a big guy and got this because of the gas mileage.  I've since stepped up to a 600, and the person I sold the 250 to is smaller ( only weighs 180 ) and averages around 60 mpg.  The Ninja is pretty much bulletproof and you should have no issues with reliability.  

Only negative is the break-in period:  you're not suppose to go over 4500 rpm for the first 500 miles ( to seat the piston rings ), which translate to 45 mph in highest gear....not a problem if you ride in the city, but don't get near any highways to start.  After that, change the oil and drive it as hard as you want.
