Hyosung owners? How is the build quality?!?

Question

I want to get a GT250R but MCN said on their YouTube Ninja vs. Hyosung comparison the paint was rusting on a brand new bike?

Have any owners expereienced this????

I know Hyosung is new in America, and don't give me one sided opinions about the Korean company.

Answer 1

im a motorcycle mechanic, seen a few of these things ,hard to get parts and they are JUNK.

Answer 2

I thought you ran 600's.  Just curious, why you would want to step down?

Answer 3

I do not own one, but have been around plenty of new  ones and old ones and never seen those problems I saw that video to. That must have been left in a shipping container a while or something. A good place to find out about them is at

www.prideinwhatyouride.com any that I have seen have been of excellent quality I have worked on them with out problems also.

Answer 4

Mine is two years old , done 3500 miles and in gorgeous nick.

I keep it in a garage, but ride in all weathers, and keep the chrome polished using "Belgom".

You can see pics of mine on prideinwhatyouride.com under members gallery "Welshpikeymick"

I will probably buy another one when it comes to it, I'm just hoping they bring out something over 1000cc. Mine is a 650, and goes like a rocket with aftermarket pipes. I'm about to get it rejetted with K&N air filters.

I've got no problem getting bits for it , and I'm off to the Netherlands on it later in the year.
