actually from all acounts that I've read... it's a pretty good quality bike... it's Korean made I think... but it's got the same motor (and frame I think) as the SV650 which is a bullet proof bike...

It's Korean... The motor on the 650 version is identical to the SV650... Frames are not...

I've heard not so good things about the 650 in general. The 250 is supposed to be pretty decent though. |

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
