Hyosung GT250R for stunts?

I found this bike http://www.motorcycles.pro/Motorcycl...7/Default.aspx

just wanted to know if would be any fun to stunt in, and if it would have enough power to do wheelies, motor is not powerful but wouldn't the weight make it up for it? cause I need an upgrade from 50 lol, I used to have a gixxer and i like doing things on bike bikes more then 50s, and I don't really need to show off to anyone just want to have fun for my own, so if anyone can tell me if this bike would have the same things as a 600 just less weight and power I am guessing

any comments and opinions would be appriciated :YEAH

Re: Hyosung GT250R for stunts?

I hate to break it to you dude, but, I used to sell these things so I know. This is a serious case fo getting what you pay for. The bike won't wheelie. It's too heavy. It's pretty fun to ride because it's the size of a 600 (thus the weight)+ It handles pretty good. Unfortunately, the tranny's are junk. the overall build quality isn't great. all that for the price of a beat up f4i, I'd go honda.

Make is easy on yourself, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki or Yamaha in that order. No need to be a trailblazer when it comes to this.

They make a 650 but they are probably junk like dude said.

Re: Hyosung GT250R for stunts?

The 650 will definitly wheelie, I got to ride one for a second. I'll ride one if its free, otherwise I'm sticking to my hondas.

Re: Hyosung GT250R for stunts?

From what I understand they are like the Hyundai of bikes. Which means right now they probably are a few years off from A game and C list prices. The big thing with the low end new stuff is the parts are sometimes less durable, and more expensive.

It's like they sell the vehicle at less than the necessary profit then make up for it in parts. At least that seems to be the way with low end new cars.

Re: Hyosung GT250R for stunts?

Those things are fvcking garbage. They sell the 650 to the dealerships for $1,800 which tells you it is junk and half the time they are all fvcked up before they are ever sold. It's like buying one of those cheap *** pocketbikes but its bigger..

Re: Hyosung GT250R for stunts?

I've heard those swap parts with the SV's since its supposed to be a clone anyway. Kind of like the Lifan minis swapping Honda parts. My question is if you were going to get a 250 why not get that new Kawi? Thing looks cooler, is way more reliable, and I think it even costs less.
