Are you sure motors are the same? I've heard some not so good things about the 650 motor.
I've heard not so good things about the 650 in general.

The 250 is supposed to be pretty decent though.

Apparently I was mis-informed... Not the same engine...

I've witnessed the opposite. There were a few here in Austin that decided to eat themselves. By that, I mean the motors died, ate pistons, threw oil, enough so the dealers bought the bikes BACK from the owners. Of course, that was after going through hell.

i sat on both the 250 and 650 at the bike show... they just felt VERY cheaply made and heavy. especially the 250 felt as heavy as a middleweight bike and it really shouldn't.

Hyosung's are nothing more than inconsistently made peices of shit. Straight up. NONE of the 250s should sell now that the new 250s are out.

yeah true... i think they are even priced about the same. they might have made sense next to the old 250 but don't compare to the new one. besides its got the reliability/record of kawasaki

Exactly. Everybody that buys a Hyosung from now on has done so because they simply don't know any better.
