Hello all,

my name is Josh and I live in Lakewood CO. I’m interested in purchasing a 250 cc starter bike and the Hyosung GV250 has caught my eye. I’ve never ridden but want something for going to/fro work (15 min commute on easy roads).

I’m also curious if anyone has any recommendations on courses to take. I’ve found a few in the area but was interested in other peoples experiences.

Thanks!

Josh

Physics and astronomy. I really like those subjects so I would recommend courses in those. English Lit is fun too.

Oh, you mean Motorcycle courses! The MSF beginner course and check out the Idiot’s Guide to Motorcycling from your library.

Thanks Budd.

I had found MSF, will look into it further.

History would be another one, but as an itinerant English major I’d agree with the English Lit courses too!

As a former English major and current holder of a BA in English, I would suggest changing your major and pursuing literature in your free time. I would suggest a Engineering degree or something with a certification.

Well said. I work in a field unrelated to my major (Food processing and packaging), but it’s nice to have my M.A. in English Lit in my back pocket in case I want to do something with it down the road. As for Engineering or certification, I’m done with school.

You majored in Food Processing and Packaging? Weird.

What is it about this site that sucks? Is it the fact that we are responsible and sensible, or is it the lack of the how to stunt section? Why register if the site sucks so bad?

Why even bother opening up this site, if it sucks so bad?

Yeah the Hyosung GV250 can be a good starting bike ‘coz you’l not really feel the power because a cruiser’s chassis is heavy uh huh uh uh… But i say you better have a deal with Japanese than Chinese because I’ve had my #@$^%@$ with chinese but better start taking care of a chinese moto than just run it throttle wo coz later you ganna hav all sorts of problems… The hyosung GT250 and GT650 is available here but only 2 I have seen so far… All have cbrs n gixxers.
Chinese:leaking,vibrations,parts braking,coming out,falling off on the road while riding,weak parts to name a few…

Hyosung is Korean, not Chinese or Japanese. The reviews of them say they perform well but seem to have poor build quality and don’t hold up well over time. General consensus seems to be don’t buy a Hyosung unless you’re planning on upgrading to another bike within a year, because when things on them do eventually start to go wrong, you won’t be able to find parts. Have you ever bought a brand new car that worked just fine without a hitch for a few years but then one thing went wrong, and as soon as you fixed it, another, and another, and it turned into a money pit that spent more time in the shop than on the road? You should expect that from a Hyosung. I don’t know this from personal experience, just from reviews on the internet. I do hope their quality improves, they seem to have some really nice looking bikes.
