2006 Hyosung reviews

The GV250 is the best looking and heaviest bike in its class. I have not ridden since college so my experience is a bit limited but I do believe that this bike would have eaten up my old Triumph Tiger. The acceleration is suprising and I have no touble keeping ahead of traffic and it is pretty comfortable at 70 which it seems it will do all day. I bought it as a trainer but I am so pleased with it I have decided to keep it and bought the wife one too. Show less

I just can't believe what a GREAT BIKE this is! I was unsure what I was getting to be honest but after several hundred miles, I can't get the smile off my face! This bike is a blast to ride! NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. Starts easy on the coldest day and once the motor was broken in, she flat out flys! My HYO may not be a CBR 600RR but it didn't cost 10 grand either....BUY ONE, you'll love it!

I bought this bike last summer and have enjoyed every minute on it. The bike is comfortable, very lightweight and sharp looking. I get asked about the size and look of the bike everywhere I go. I definitely recommend this bike. Show less

This leaves Harleys behind. This bike really flys when you twist it on. It has great handling and braking with looks that stop people in their tracks. It is a joy to own. The secret to happiness is to find a dealer that knows how to set the bike up right from the start, not someone selling their first Hyosung! Show less

Hi again Guys & Gals. Well, we now have a few more kms on the clock with more experience on this machine as well. Cornering hard, the bike just wants to keep leaning into the corners. Off cambers can be a bit exciting, but don't back off. Powering out of a corner needs caution as it tended to slide a little on the rear tire. Seems a bit top heavy in strong winds, and also with a pillion on the rear. Overall, this is a Jaguar waiting to be unleashed. 2nd gear should not be taken for granted when hitting the 7000rpm, it will with no effort lift the front wheel off the road with ease. Be careful. Overall, riding was good but the pillion seat has been re-padded and as the wife says, it's fine now. This bike in my view would have no effort in cruising at 130 to 140 all day. Show less

I just started riding this summer and I wanted a bike I was not scared of. My husband wanted me to have a bike that wasn't too much for me to handle. This is a great beginner bike. It handles very nicely. It has more power than you would think a 250cc would have. Show less

I was told this bike was easy to ride and a great beginner bike. After riding for a season I have to agree and highly recommend this bike to others. Show less

Apart from the sporty riding position, which I think I'll get used to, it's the best bike for the price I've ever bought and I've had heaps of them. The handling is magic, the engine has more grunt than the Ducati Monster, and it looks cool. These guys will be a big player when the brand gets some respect. They've ripped off Suzuki and made a better machine just like Honda did to Triumph and Norton all those years ago. Yeah, I got a brand new bike on the road for a great price. I'm a happy old man.

I first saw the GV650 in a magazine and felt it would take years to get to the US. Went ahead and bought the V-Strom instead. Never felt comfortable standing on my toes so I traded it in for the GV650 and man what a difference. I love the bikes look and the ride is perfect. I've put more miles on this bike in a month than I did in a year with my previous. Everybody stops to check it out and can't believe how much they cost. Show less

This bike is awesome!! Power galore! Corners great. Comfortable seat. Catches everyones eyes! Show less
