What would you guys prefer a 08 ninja 250 or Hyosung GT250R??
Answer in terms of reliablity, maintance cost, and anything else that i would need to know in terms of buying one!!

 

ninja hands down. haven't heard much about the hyosung that painted them in a reliable light. but they do seem cheap

 

Absolutely hands down Ninja. It's a quality bike. Youll get a better resale value out of it.

 

I have only heard of cheap and horror stories on the sung. Stay with reliable and true ie Ninja

 

I don't want to sound bias towards Kawasaki, but I would be somewhat worried about the reliability of the Hyosung. Even if the Hyosung was slightly faster, it wouldn't matter if the machine sucked.

 

Didin't Hyosung make Suzuki's engines for awhile? If so the engine is problably pretty good. But aas far as resale
value and reliability on the rest of the bike the Kawasaki is the way to go.

 

Hyosung is still new and needs to make a name for themselves before i would spend my money. Unless you find a great deal on the GT I'd go with the ninja.

 

Hyosung made a clone of a Suzuki engine design.

 

where do you get parts for thouse? good luck finding a dealer!

 

I did find a review of the SV650 vs Hyosung by searching google.
They actually said it wasn't that bad a bike. But some stuff seemed cheap on it.
Onto the price difference is one reason they would buy one over the sv, but
the bike wasn't total crap.
