the 100% directionless thread

Told ya I didn't want it.
 
Winning!

Edit: Grrr... so close
 
Darn you all! I never had a chance. :-( I've been on the road all day.

Well, I must say, I STILL lead the post count for this thread. :-) (Wait, is it good or bad to lead the directionless thread. :-S)

Damn Best Buy Customer Service and their taking forever-ness! (it's a word, don't bother looking it up...)
 
I finally figured out what motorcycle I'm getting, now I just have to choose a color. This is harder than picking the bike. :unsure:

Hyosung GT250R/GT650R. I'll make the final decision during the test drive.

I have heard Hyosung brought up not once but 3x in the past three weeks, it is encouraging me to do some research.

They seem to be a solid company. Apparently they had build issues early on, but they've ironed those out. When I look on craigslist, and the classifieds around here, I can't find many up for sale. Makes me think people are keeping them.

check out korider.com It's a Hyosung forum. Looks like they have a loyal fan base.
 
I got sunburned and didn't catch a damn thing except some weeds, but it was still a nice day at the lake.

Everything I have heard so far is positive. I did hear the bikes were quite pricey, however.
 
See, I like the GT250R,. but the build issues early only, and the unproven reliability are what's holding me back as of now.


I LOVE the Ninja 250R, but it being carburated and not fuel injected is a near deal breaker for me, if not for the lower mileage, than for the longer start time in colder weather. The CBR250R is what I would love as of now, but most dealers around here wont have any stock till May, and they all want a deposit put down.



I'm going to drive around a bit tomorrow on my day off, looks at bikes, and possibly buy a helmet before my MSF class in a couple of weeks.

The GT250R is comparable to the Ninja 250 and CBR 250, its 2 main competitors, at about the $4,000 mark, new. The GV650R looks sweet as a sprot/cruiser mix but is a bit more.


PS-- Don't you hate me for showing you the GV650 now Hotel? :D

They've ironed out the build issues. I've been reading the forums, and 99% of the time, they report being happy with their bike. They'll always be a 1% that fails to meet expectations, no matter what vehicle. It doesn't really concern me.

And yes, a little. lol I definetly like the sportbike look, that that GV650 is nice.

Oh, and it isn't offered in blue, L&S. :(

I'll get it in white/black for now, and save up to get a paint job down the road.
