Well said!
Not sure why you said "don't buy" when it seemed as though you liked it and had a great time riding.
*cough* clickbait *cough"
I too am confused.
It's a clickbait title. But honestly, don't buy Hyosungs. Not many people have heard of them, nor did I, but after learning of their name I surfed the net to find out more and it turns out they're just complete trash, maybe even worse than Harleys.
Faldyr Rydlaf What do you ride ? A pink moped?
@@ryanbruneau1197 No, but how would that be relevant? I think you're trying to be aggressive and take a jab at me for some reason, but I can't imagine why.
I’ve had many bikes but my Hyosung was one of the most reliable. Pretty sure they’re made by a parts manufacturer for Suzuki.
In a previous video he was saying hyosung manufactured parts for Suzuki, that’s probably why they’re better than most people think
@@brianstancel4440 They made the engines for Suzuki for something like twenty years. Their 650 engine is quite similar to Suzuki's SV650.
Same. I got to fix a fuel problem. But for my bike being a 2010 isn’t bad
I don't really understand the click bait, title says DO NOT buy it, yet the video praises it to no end?
I bought one for my daughter and she wouldn't ride it, but I ride the crap out of it. I rode it to work today, in fact. It's definitely not a straight line bike, but on the hilly, curvy roads of WV, it's a blast.
Shame she didn't appreciate that I would have been ecstatic. Happy riding man it's a lovely ride
Where did you find one ?
I ride a 2007 GV650. LOVE IT! Will leave a sportster in the dust when the light turns green, low center of gravity handles great in the twisties. Styling makes some people sure it is a new sort of V-Rod. Will do 50 in first gear, tops out at 120.
I had to seal the tank, and eventually had to replace the charging system. BFD. I got it done. I had to replace the front brake pads. That's not a whole lot of wrenching for a bike that's fifteen years old.
I just don't get the misleading titles. Otherwise great reviews.
Personally I don't like it.
"Better than expected "
"Not bad"
"Dirt cheap and decent"
But "do not buy"? Irritating.
U have to watch one of the older videos
Ur irritating
You don't get the misleading title? Well, let me explain it to you. You are here. You watched the video ergo, you fell for the click bait like I did. It worked
That plus the constant "high sung" mispronunciation, ugh. But I do at least appreciate someone is out there reviewing an insane amount of specific bikes.
"However, it is the only 250 V-twin I've ever heard of."
This guy is OBVIOUSLY unfamiliar with the 250cc segment.
@Jaime Madariaga - regardless, I am an American... a U.S. citizen, to be exact.... and I am quite familiar with the 250cc segment.
Depends on where you live and local laws I suppose. I ride classic Jap iron. My bike is a 1983 Honda VF1100C aka V65 Magna. It is cheap to tag and insure. I live in rural Texas and the average speed on main roads is 60 - 75 mph, 2 lanes. The 1100 loves to pass and does it quickly which equates to safe when combined closure speeds are circa 150 mph. I won't ride a 250cc class bike because of that. Big city commuting, yeah, I can see that. I hate city life and not a fan of small bikes. Count me in on that "unfamiliar" segment. I am certain there is a 250 cc fan base out there but I do not know a single one of them. Unless you count dirt bikes! All my boys ride those. Did, they both own Yammie 426s now. There is no replacement for displacement. :-)
suzuki VL250,Yamaha Ro
ute 66 and that is just two.
@@motopartsaotearoa1609 - two of MANY. I couldn't begin to count the models of 250cc bikes that have been sold in the US. I'd guess more than 200.
well the only other one in america I can think of is the yamaha v-star 250, which just so happens to be a scooter dressed up to look like a harley.
For what its worth the Hyosung 250 gets 70mpg. Good cost effective ride for anyone on a budget.
"If you want to pass someone"
Revs motorcycle then literally gets passed by cars. Lmao
Lol
lulz. but to be fair.. already going 70
I've owned a zx7r, a gsxr 600 and a Hyosung. Gotta say, I loved the bike. Way more power than expected, sounded identical to my gsxr. If you want a bike that is priced cheaper than its worth, these are gems. Just require maintenance like all bikes.
For that price it's a good beginners bike.
Andrew Mack yep I’m thinking about it after I saw this video
A light bike that's not too powerful so a newbie shouldn't look like a dick around town but enough power to weight that you'll have fun on quiet roads trying to keep the momentum and can keep up with traffic. Plan to change in 12-24 months and know the absolute max you can lose $-wise is 2.3k …
The problem, knowing how bad Hyosungs tend to be is that it will spend more time with the mechanic that with the owner
@@andrewmack2161 i owned one of these, it is definitely not a light bike
I think that depend what you're comparing it to.
I owned a hyosung 250 man and it was an unreal bike never skipped a beat at all
Thumpstar Gaming how long did it last before it broke down? Or did ya sell it
Yea how long did it last?
@@jermellyons195 My 250 naked hyosung is just going past 50,000km on the odometer and it hasn't had a single problem other than normal servicing stuff like replacing oil and break pads and such, nothing unexpected, don't know why so many people hate, you just need to take care of them!
@@jermellyons195 Its also dirt cheap, I got it at 30,000km for 1000 dollars because it DID have a power loss problem, just turned out the air filter needed replacing and one of the spark plugs had fouled, replaced both and haven't been worried about them since
Good bike
Watching this video after i got my Hyosung GT250r. I love it. You can ride steady and also go fast when you have to. It doesn't throw you off uncomfortably, just fast enough not to get you in trouble.
So you recommend me getting this for my very first bike?
@@derek5788 yes absolutely, its my second bike and its all i need. The vtwin all round power is nice.
The Kymco Venox 250 cruiser was an 11000 rpm liquid cooled DOHC eight valve v-twin that would do 80 mph in third. They were sold in the US for a number of years, but a cruiser with the heart of a sportbike was ahead of it's time.
I owned one for a couple years. A really fun bike!!
I owned a Hyosung GV 250 cruiser. Felt exactly the same way. Great power for a small bike. Consistent power. Felt just like sitting on a 650. Fantastic entry level bike. I wish there were more like it. Got great comments from other riders. Couldn't believe it was a 250.
I own a gv250 and the ability to get parts or service is abysmal
Depends where you live. I'm on a gv250 in the UK and parts have been no issue whatsoever, plenty of places that sell stock. Ebay. Amazon. Wemoto. Hyoparts.
@@RYU583 You can get all your parts from Korea from hyosungsource and a couple other suppliers. Just do a search for your bike for parts and they should come up. No bike shops carry parts anymore and order their stuff, so no different than any other bike.
Yeah I had one on my learners and I loved it. I had flash cut pipes and it sounded like a much bigger bike
Guys. Hayuououusang could potentially be good for the industry. When hayothang makes it , the big four might have to lower prices a bit to match their curve ball.
in malaysia the bike is branded as naza and is extremely popular among beginner riders. its called naza blade
Still faster than my minivan, and much more fun
Last year I swung by leg over a 2009 Hyosung GT250R with it being my first bike and used it as a daily commuter for about 7 months. I felt like I outgrew it in 3. I wanted something for the freeway that allowed me to pass with no problem or speed out of the way and this wasn't it.
I will say that it's an alright street bike, which is what it feels like it was meant for. However the center of gravity for this thing is pretty damn high which makes it feel a lot heavier than it is and it's easier to fall over/harder to catch because of that.
We got it for $1000. And for a $1000, it'll take 6 drops, oil changes, brake changes, and whatever trash you can throw at it and still start right up. Parts are more expensive because they're Korean, but damn its been a decent bike.
Ended up upgrading to a 1999 Suzuki GS500E. Next bike is a 2006 Suzuki Boulevard S50. Ride safe guys.
GS500 really, good score
I own a 07 GT 250R. Love the little thing. Still looks and runs like new with 20,000+ miles on it. Just upgrade the break lines and tires, then have some around the town fun.
I’m getting one soon idc what he says they look fun
@@Pix_Moto He has a good review on it.
In fact, I think this is an excellent beginner sport bike. Why would I shell out a 6K bucks on a 400 cc, when all I need is a 2.5K 250CC daily commuter. Yammie and the others really have a hardon for KTM(overpriced Indian manufactured bike btw) and Yamaha and other Japanese thumpers. When Hyosung is what we should be getting as a beginner. I trust Korean manufacturing and engineering. Yeah I know Hyosung has a history of electrical issues, but those are solvable.
I guess I don't understand the title of this video. It says "do not buy.." but then during the entire video you are praising this bike. Are you as confused as I am or is it click bait or what?
Don Malburg well he’s not gonna bag out a bike he’s hoping to sell...
Im from Denmark an I bought one 9years ago an that bike was the best starter bike ever. Bought it used with 2.000 km on it, an it was like less than half price of a new kawashaki 250- Its was at the time where its was Kawa Ninja 250 all the way, an i smoked my friends on this. It was new, cheap in issurance, an pretty economic in gas! I was 6.2 feet at the time an felt very comfortable on in.
Think i did 0-100 in arround 6 seconds :)
The biggest problem is the disrepsect when you talk with people about motorbikes, but i consider to start riding again, an i whould deff. consider buying Hyosung again. I learned to drive on a Kawa Er-5 an i didt felt it was worse made.
At the end every bike can be great or bad, depends on how much you take care of it.
I love it when you can get bikes like this cheap, they're a lot of fun like!
How old were you when you got it?
Same here in Malaysia. People are underestimating Hyosung GTR too much to a point where you can get these bikes in less than 2000 USD. People don’t seem to realize that the V-twin engine is superb for a beginner bike imo. It IS a proper beginner super bike. If Hyosung had released a revamped version of the GTR with fixed weight issue and cheap components, I’d definitely buy one without a doubt
@Don_Gregers can this bike suit for 162 cm height person ? because i m planing to buy one
@@MohanNSundar09 I'm about 185 cm and I got no issues on them.
I had a Hyosung GV250 (the cruiser version of this bike, same engine) for years and it was a full size bike that was mistaken for a 650 all the time. These bikes are solid and dependable and made in South Korea. They also make parts for other "name brand" motorcycles. Fit and finish was good but they don't have dealers in the states... however... you can get anything for them online. The only problem I noticed was that some of the screws (not all of them) started to rust pretty early compared to other bikes. Knew a guy that rode one from California to Florida and that should tell you everything you need to know about it. Last year I traded it in for a 650 V-Star just to have more passing power on the interstate. It was a great bike and an excellent and cheap 1st bike. You can find brand new "old stock" for pennies on the dollar.
Love it!....Wish I was just starting out! I started on a 1969 Triumph 250, it was a perfect starter bike....Thanks for showing us these 2 bikes!
I just bought one. It gets delivered tomorrow. Thanks for the review. I'm looking forward to learning and mastering the fine art of motorcycle riding.
Ur gonna feel low if u compare with Yamaha cos there's do few out but it'd a good one.I had one

Great review Shawn! I always enjoy checking out these short road tests, as I'm the same height, size as you, and it gives me a good idea of the layout of a bike & how I'd fit on them. I really like these Hyosung, especially for the price!
If I was in the market for an around town bike, I'd seriously consider this, as I've read good things about the reliability and even the service/parts availability too! Happy with my Triumph Bonney for now!
We are the same
if your reading this save up a little more and get Japanese, something that is tried and tested by people for decades e.g ninja 250/300/400 cbr250/300/500 your getting reliability these hyosungs sold like crazy here in Australia a few years back and now you cant give them away on the second hand market cause they are prone to problem after problem including but not limited too fuel injection system crapping out ,dash braking, basic wiring and electronics frying, headlight mount snapping they really aren't worth the head ache and also the only reason the 250 feels so big is because its the same bike as the 650 in every way but the engine
Riley Gates I’ve owned 2 Hyosung motorcycles, and they have been great. I put 23k miles in almost 10 years on my Hyosung MS3 and the only thing That broke on it was the electric fan. It was super cheap to fix at the dealer.
@@germanium1872 glad you had a good experience with your one but I've known serveral people that have sold them cause of the issue they had with them I even had one friend send it too a dump for scrap metal cause it was worth more like that and it kept having issue and was cheaper for him to buy a used ninja 250 then fix the hoysung
Did he say only 250cc V Twin he's ever heard of?? Umm Yamaha V-Star 250 anyone?😂
I’m never going to live that up. I forgot about the virago 250
@@Srkcycles haha it's all good man. Just teasin. Love your videos man keep it up. Altho I agree it'll be hard to live that one down😉
Honda vtr 250 are v twin ain't they aswel?
@@Srkcycles there are many 125 v twins and hyosung also do a 250 and 125 vtwin cruiser
Try an Aprilia RS250 v-twin. Two stroke and will out perform 600's on circuits.
Here in the UK those Hyosung 250's would sell really well at €2300. Well equipped and an excellent commuter and back lane scratcher.
I think you thought of a title first and then went on a test ride...
I've had a virago 250 and that thing felt like enough power for the street. I've also had a zx10r and that thing belongs in the jungle. Honestly, a 250 is *good enough* and the fact that this bike doesn't buzz at highway speeds is a bonus.
I have a 2005 gv250 aquila and it's great. Sat for nearly a year for the previous owner but a little starting fluid and it had life again. I love it.
Great review! Can you please do more of Hyosung bikes?
hey Shawn could you maybe try and find a hyosung gt125r just to see how a v-twin 125cc would work for everyday driving
love your videos man and absolutely love the words of wisdom it's so cool to hear that....
I'm working hard to get my first bike when I do I will make sure you get my business. keep the word and videos coming god bless and be safe
this bike is a blast, igot one for about a year now, no regrets
love how you guys like and love all bikes...thats passion
I love the way you value scripture before you start. God bless. Love from India
Except he does not have the integrity to not use clickbait titles.
Mate I like your channel, videos are great. No need for click bait titles like everyone else does to get views, you don’t need to do it too. If you advise against one at least at some point explain why.
Cheers,
Troy.
Agreed. If a company goes to the effort to build a decent entry level bike, don't got telling over a quarter million people not to but it.
I'm glad I got to see a real video about these bikes. I'm buying the gt650r soon
Bought this bike partly off your recommendation. I switched the pipe tho. Boy do I not miss that sound. Thanks!!
If Hyosung arranged a race series using these bikes? Now that wouldt be FUN.
They did here in New Zealand for about 10 years called the Hyosung cup. Great fun, cheap and reliable !
seems to be a great bike for beginners, would like a more upright position.
Thank you for this review. I just bought a 2008 Hyosung 250 (no "GT" or "GV" in the title) for $1000 and only 500 miles on it. We've got to get it back up and running, but I'm a beginner rider and we thought this would be a perfect starter bike. So we anticipate that our performance may be less, but still more than adequate for $1000.
Had my 08 for 10 years no issues..61000 miles and still going
That thing sounds like it has a Briggs & Stratton engine in it!
Yamaha has been making 250cc V-twins for decades. You've no doubt sold them!
Honda has one at least too.... VTR or Shadow 250...
Hello Shawn. I love the channel. I love the honest review of the many bikes. . I’m a going to get my cycle license and was wondering. Would the 2003 gold wing you have be a good bike for me to start out on?. I really like the 2018 Golding and people I know is telling me that if that’s what I eventually want start out with an older model to get used to it then go for the newer one. I have back issues and arthritis in my right hand after it was broken some years ago. What do you suggest.?
A Goldwing is too heavy for a beginner. If you are a big guy, Yamaha makes some bikes with a 900cc V-twin that are safer for a beginner, or maybe a 500cc Honda. The typical 400cc Kawasaki Ninja beginner bike is more for shorter, lighter people.
I lived in Korea. I have heard of them. Rod a couple in Korea also and they were small v twins. Had a custom CBR 600 F3 over there and had a blast.
Are you going to do anything special since you just hit 100k?
Germain Gonzalez subscribers?
6:15 im pretty sure we all thought the same thing...."What the frick is that fool doing?"
I bought my GT250R 6 months ago, it is my second bike and i love it. The Vtwin all round speed is nice, duel fromt disk brakes come in handy for speedy braking. Also it gets almost 70 MPG and has a 4.5 gallon tank so thats 300 miles to the tank if you are riding conservative. BEST PART is that i only paid 2900 out the door for tax, title, tags, and inspection for a bike with only 6 miles!!!! I bought mine at CLASSIC IRON motorcycles in virginia, they have plenty on them. People just dont know, all theyve ever known is Honda, Kawasaki, and Yamaha. They have been around for a while, just dont have a big customer base in the US. I have put 1000 miles on mine in 6 months and its doing great and i love it, just do your T-clocs before every ride. NOTE this goes for any new bike or car, you should NOT ride it to its limit at the very least for the first 500 miles,... Some brands require much more than that.
I’m considering getting one of these to learn on and such. Found one that needs a little work. Mostly wanting it to commute and enjoy the ride.
Looks a great learner bike
Hey , it is pronunciated as hyo-sung, not Hy-o-sung. And it is a Korean company.
And it's an awesome company which is why Harley snobs hate it.
liked your channel alot. owned one for 6 month then bought the cruiser version but a 650.. 6 years after still going strong. make some changes with the exhaust position due to dragging too much.. now its good both for normal riding and some fun twisties.
I own a bike like this for more than 2 years now and it is an awesome bike. Use it to commute to work and back and get around 32km per litre.
Have you ever featured a bike that you actually say do not buy this bike? Wow!! Your actually talking up a hyosung???
He's not normally quite so blatant about it but this time he basically said nothing bad!
g
Nothing wrong with these bikes but the name. Change it to Suzuki, Kawasaki, Honda etc... and everyone would compliment it and tell you how great it is. I owned the Cruiser version ,GV250, for 5 years and had 0 mechanical issues.
In indonesia....250cc are considered big bike....because its quite expensive here....more than US$ 4000 for most brands
And i learn to ride with my dad's old piaggio 150cc 2stroke (about 20years ago)
then its time you moved to the cultured side of the world, where a 16 year old dork can go out and hop on a 1000cc race replica
@@cwbgaming8913 yeah...but what u mean by most in US is real big bike....not 250cc twin cylinder right ?
I mean when you learn how to ride slow you’ll be a better rider then people that have bigger bikes that just know how to go in a straight line great review!!!!
Good review...adding to possibilities
Suzuki's development team engineers worked on this engine ! And aint u eva heard of a VTZ250 , was my first bike , The VT series where v twins so not sure what your on bout .
They even make a cruiser model
I have the cruiser model
@@thomaswebb34 How is it?
Bought my wife a 2009 gv250 which is the cruiser version. After having chased down electrical gremlins and doing small repairs here and there it's not a bad bike especially since I only paid $500.
My first street bike was a 2010 Hyosung 250r, bought it with 209 miles in 2013 for $1900. Loved that thing for the time I owned it
Geez click bait much! Give a glowing review yet look at your title!
Who writes these video titles?
Just wondering what you would suggest as best all round easy to learn decent speed and handling 125bike to buy?
Having ridden bikes of 750, to 1000cc's for the past 40 years, it's fun too get on smaller displacement bikes. I have an 87 rz350, and it's a blast, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy this bike. It is a nice looking bike as far as I'm concerned. Part of the enjoyment for me is also working on and maintaining my bikes myself, so the aspect of keeping it running isn't an issue as far as I'm concerned.
Come on test drive the Bandit 1250!!!
It's actually a bigger bike not like the Ninja 250
What do you do with the bikes after these videos like did someone buy this bike
I had a carb version of this bike and my honest opinion, everyone thought it was a 600-1000cc. I loved that but I still get 70mpg and it’s like, “oh h*** yeah. Looks like a big bike but mpg of a small bike” and the transition to the bigger bike was pretty easy. Great bike for cheap
Says not to buy the bike
Praises it all throughout the video
Yeah, 30hp 250cc is going to do about 7 seconds to 60mph That's what the Yamaha wr250r does.
My 07 carbed 650 is fantastic. I prefer it over 600cc bikes due to the aggressive torque curve. I geared it down a tad -1+1 tops now at 125 in comparison to 145 stock. I don't only keep up too 100 I'm usually ahead only too get passed after. No gut's on top but below triple digits it is a force to be reckoned with. 12k miles currently.
I brought a 2015 hyosung gt250-p for my first bike a couple months ago and It’s perfect
Was considering either this or a kawasaki z250 5 years back.. I have never regretted my decision for buying the hyosung... it's a great 250cc bike..
Awesome glad to hear
The title was misleading
Zeekaer it’s to draw people in to watch
CLICKBAIT
Tohunga Uwishin 😢
I tricked ya ll
The title is a rehashed formula he uses over and over. (Insert brand and model) then throughout the test backpedal on the "why you don't want" angle as he talks over the whole video revealing how little he knows about the featured bike of the video.
I'm like some others commenting I don't understand the Do Not Buy title and then wow what a entry level bike? I'm interested in the entry level bikes because I'm not an experienced rider anyway so... anyway it's an amazing video and no need to make a click bait title.
Damn I wish you guys still had one of these, I’d totally buy one
Hello i am from malaysia. This is the first and best bike i has ride he can keep up with kawasaki 250, yamaha 250, cbr 250 and ktm 250 . His top speed can go about 180km 😁😁👍👍

Watched the video ... I do not understand, based on your commentary, why you say DO NOT buy? Did I miss something? Everything you said was positive except it is a 250cc.

For South Korea, where you are not allowed to highways, this machine incredibly fits in.
Those things are like a a 10 speed with a lawnmower engine on it. Resale value is "ZERO"
I had one of these and it never gave me any trouble. I could cruise at 70 mph with no problems. I sold it because it had very light wiring, some of which only had 4 strands of wire inside the plastic insulation. They get away with this by having relays for just about every thing. The light wiring goes to the relay and a short heavy wire comes from the relay to whatever it is operating. Heaps of relays and heaps of fuses. I traded it on a Yamaha V Star 650 which is a much better motorcycle. When I rode the Hyosung it just felt cheaply made. Every thing is plastic even the fuel tank just to keep the price low.
88-90 Honda VTR250 Great little v-twin sport bike for its day. Still have one in the back of the garage to refurbish someday.
This bike suits your body and length. You look quite good on it. I know about hyosung. My late husband bought a 125 hyosung cruiser bike in the 90's. Was nice for a young female rider too. Quite low. Safe riding.
I have this bike :)
Would it be a good starter bike for someone 6'3 280? I don't care about looking "silly" on a small bike.

It is a high gas mileage bike, very fast, great for commuting, and cross country touring!
Get it now?
I am 6'4" 440 lbs, and one of my bikes is a Hyosung GV250 Aquila. It does 85 mph, with me on it! In supper high head wind, it can be harder to keep up to 55, and the Rockies would pose a bit of hard work too. But, those situations are limited to a couple of hours at most in cross country treks! No big deal.
Gas mileage is recorded up tob85 to 115 mpg highway! At 440 lbs plus 2 full side bags, I get closer to 50 to 65 mpg! NOT BAD! 440 LBS FAT BEEF! LOL
The new BMW G310GS is a 310cc with only 33 hp, 71 mpg! That is almost twice the money too! $4799, compared to $2400 or 2700?
There are other bikes which do well, like Royal Enfield 500 Bullet 85 mpg 90 mph, but one cylinder! The BMW F650GS OR CS is high gas mileage - 72 mpg - but a one cylinder too! That means less low end torque, yet more that a 250 or 350 one cylinder!
I am all for lower displacement bikes, for taller and bigger people! I want super high gas mileage, to traverse continents for nearly free! Gas is so expensive in some countries, by the way! We are really spoiled!
That is how their countries afford Socialism/Communist! No body thinks of that!
I have a CVO Harley Davidson, gets 29 mpg! Or, 34 mpg highway! My Jaguar Vanden Plas European Luxury Sport Sedan Long body x350, smokin' fast rocket, gets almost that good a gas mileage - and I can live in that car! LOL
Think about it!
I'm a huge guy, chiseled out of stone, rock meat muscle, and love these little gas sippers!

Very fast?
Hello.can you tell me is it good idea to buy hyosong or not.thank you.i am begginer
I think that's excellent for a beginner bike. Beginners tend to drop their bikes etc. so a cheap bike is better for the beginners. For 2 grand or a little more I think that would be fun around to ride around town.
