Hyosung reviews

The Hyosung GV125 is a low-cost, comfortable and reliable machine that will get you from A to B and back again without losing the contents of your wallet. My bike has suffered no failures so far, but even if it did, the parts for the bike are actually very cheap and you may be glad to know that this isn't a petrol hungry machine either! The Hyosung GV125 is a very easy and comfortable bike to drive, you don't need to worry about developing a stiff back, sore wrists, sore knees and whip-lash, all of which you most certainly would get, if of course you happen to own the other bike in my inventory, a de-restricted 06 Cagiva Mito 125cc. This bike is brilliant for driving in traffic and it's very difficult to stall the engine too. This is a great thing because if you are experienced on a Sportsbike, then being in traffic, as you will understand, happens to be very painful. It requires crazy amounts of attention, mostly relating to clutch control, and this is about keeping your engine from stalling. You don't need to worry about all that on a GV125; it's just so much easier. I really like the bike and it makes for a lovely introduction to cruiser style motorcycles. The only major downside that I can think of would be power; the bike lacks power. It is not particularly a very quick machine at all, but you shouldn't be buying a machine like this in the first place if its power that your looking for. I would recommend looking at this bike if you happen to be a learner driver, or maybe you haven't been on a bike for a few years and fancy experiencing it again. Maybe you have driven many bikes but just need something cheap and cheerful to get you to work and back, like me! Show less

18 bikes in 42 years and this is the best for the buck so far... -72.1 hp on rear wheel[dyno] -No problem to go 200kph+ -Finish on carrier thin -Exceptional handling & braking -Smooth ride on maintained roads -41mpg hard throttle -57.25mpg cruising -$10k bike with accessories as advertised and got a tach -Real eye catcher bike I am very critical and so far cannot find any flaws. I have even loaned this to the skeptical under supervision and they don't believe this amazing bike at this price. Try it, you won't be sorry. Show less

My first cruiser, if that's what you call it. But it's getting a little old having the other riders drool all over it. What's even better is to outrun them and then tell them it's a 650. Only in the US do ccs seem to matter so much. And if you want to see them weep, tell them the price. I have not found a bad thing about the bike or the ride - it's great! Show less

You know that I read the reviews before my girlfriend bought the bike for me and I always lived by the saying you get what you pay for. I know the other bikes out there are good and all but I tell you that this bike is freaking good for the money that you pay. I have not had any problems with this bike at all!!! YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER TO BREAK THE BIKE IN LIKE THE OWNERS MANUEL tells you to and eveything will be fine. I don't know about the 54 mile to a gallon but I will try to calculate that soon. I have had the bike for 3 weeks and I simply love it. Many of my friends say that it looks like a Ducati and even sounds like a Ducati but I tell you that it is not the true Ferrari of the motorcycles but this is a hell of a good bike if you don't want to pay GSXR prices and it still will turn heads for the ladies if you know what I mean. I have an all black one cause I plan on doing my own custom paint job to maybe make it into venom or something. The handling is good, brakes good, and the electrical systems good. The only thing is that I wish that it could have been fuel injected so all you people out there looking for a damn good bike, here it is. Show less

I purchased my bike less then two months ago and absolutely adore it. I have never been on a bike before and have had my license less then a month. I love the attention I receive from the bike. I would highly recommend this equipment to male or female of any age. It handles superb and is actually quite comfortable on long distance rides. We will stay in the Hyosung family for years to come.

I took my bike to Melborn FL. on vacation and the entire time I was getting stopped by everyone wanting to know more about it. This is one awesome piece of machinery. It handles fantastic and corners like it's on rails. I have had no trouble out if it except for a fuel leak, that was the filter and was replaced under warranty. This bike will stay with me for years to come. I suggest the GT650R to anyone that is looking for a great running and affordable bike. Show less

I have put over 270 miles on this bike and it just keep impressing me more and more everyday. It has plenty of power and the ride is amazingly smooth for a small bike. I love the big bike look and the bike can be purchased in a variety of colors. I bought mine with the two tone of burgundy and cream. I really am enjoying this bike. I am hearing more and more of people taking road trips of 200+ miles and coming back with nothing but praise for the bike. Obviously, I strongly recommend the bike. Show less

I bought a 2007 GT650R with flame graphics from a lady who was having a garage sale due to a divorce. It only had 80 miles on the bike prior to me putting 200 on it and I'm very shocked that this bike can haul butt!! I'm amazed because I also own a 2003 Hayabusa and nothing comes close to riding a Busa, but I like this bike for some reason. Those who had trouble, keep after dealer to fix, replace or refund your money. As for me, I'm going to start the customizing stage for this bike. Show less

I got this bike for my wife after finding that the Honda Rebel 250 just wasn't able to perform well on the highway. It's a real crusier - keeps up on the highway with no problems. We are very happy with our Hyosung 250. Show less

After over 4500 miles, the only problem that I have had with this bike is that the front brake hose covering has cracked from too much sun exposure. Not the brake hose itself but the protective hose over the brake hose. Otherwise the machine has been an excellent commuter bike. I travel 62 miles r/t daily in rain or shine and this bike has performed better than I ever expected. It has good accelleration, looks good, nice balance and good brakes. I average 61 mpg. And this baby will cruise at 70 mph with a very smooth ride. I bought it new in February of 2007 and haven't regretted it. The longest one day trip I have taken on it is 91 miles and it will keep right up with the traffic. It rides well with two up also, more than you would expect from a 250cc. This is a great commuter bike or starter bike. It will get you from A to Z in comfort and style on either city street or highway. And your Harley friends won't be embarassed when you ride with them.
