Hyosung GD250R The Baddest 250cc on the planet

[@tomasguerrero9622]

I had a gd250n for two years. Bought it with 11k km, sold it with 27k km. Rode it in the city, on the highway, in really bad fire trails also. It took it all and never missed a beat. On the highway, it will sit at 120km/h all day, and not break a sweat, and there was plenty of juice left for takeovers. The dude I sold it to, loved it also and rode the sh!t out of it. He sold it with 70k km, not a single problem, just regular maintenance, oil changes, brake pads, chain and sprockets, consumables only. Without a doubt, a very, very good bike and solidly built. Great commuter, 27 km/l in city traffic. Would buy again anytime. I really can tell you know what you're talking about. Cheers, pal.

@@MirrormaskMV most videos im seeing on these bikes are "dont buy" in the title and the only thing they complain about its its not a known brand. glad to see someone talk about the bike and not the brand.

Yeh people act like they have never heard of Hyosung before. Heck next time you go to a bank ATM look at the brand name of the atm machine. Most of them are Hyosung.

I bought my Hyosung GT250r two months ago with a small budget and because i love the design compared to other 250s in it's category. I'm very impressed at the quality and its very fast, durable and easy to maintain. I guess you're right about Hyosung trying to penetrate the US Market. I'm happy with my choice and recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy riding.

[@MirrormaskMV]

Glad to hear you are enjoying it

[@newbloodink]

Soon to be a new rider and I'm going over all the different bikes and Kawasaki is my fav ever since the ZX14R came out. However, once I saw this bike I instantly fell in love. Not too heavy, pricey or super fast and as you said great for commuting. Not to mention the styling is off the chart. Thank you for making this video and giving us the full break down of the bike, not to many out there for all the reasons you mentioned.

They have them for 1990 sticker, 2200 out the door at J&J Motors in Stark County, Ohio. Gonna make the drive from Pittsburgh to get one this weekend for my girlfriends birthday, her first bike. I have a 600 and 900 now and never thought I’d be excited to ride home on a 250 lol. Great review man, very informative and more accurate than the other reviews on KZbin. Solid. Thanks!!

[@MirrormaskMV]

That is a crazy good price, does that include the tax and all? Also, I guarantee you will have more fun riding that 250 home than a 600 or 900 lol. Something about riding a slow bike fast that is just way more satisfying than riding a fast bike slow.

[@MirrormaskMV]

[@ivmurk21]

2200 for everything. I think it’s a great price. They also have one for under 2k all fees included, same color as yours, out the door but it has 600 miles. Which would you get? Would you pay the extra $300 to have a brand new one and pick the color you want? Also, which color did you think was best? I’m torn between white and the metallic silver one.

[@MirrormaskMV]

@@ivmurk21 First maintenance is at 600 miles. If the one with 600 miles on it has had the 600 mile service done, it would be worth it. If it hasnt, get the new one. I liked the white and the black ones. I decided on the black

Awesome video I really appreciated that you gave a background on the company and a little history on the bike itself and the proper pronunciation of the company name. I do remember the GT 650 when they came out and thought that it was a really nice-looking bike but because I was not familiar with it, I just simply cast it off as another cheap Korean product.

Bought this exact one about 2 months ago for $1150 with 2k miles on it. Never drove a motorcycle in my life and I was cruising with ease within the first week. As a beginner I really think this is one of the best bikes you can get. I haven’t even put it over 75 mph yet but I’m very excited. The exhaust is on the actual bottom of the bike so there’s no risk of burning your ankle or leg, the clutch is very easy to learn, and I love the gear gauge. The only question I have is the cargo space, I can’t seem to get it open. Any thoughts?

Finally, someone who doesn't shit on this bike because it's not a "brand name." Seems like most professional reviewers already have this bike trashed before even riding it. Early models did have growing pains, but what vehicle manufacturer doesn't? Most people also have the mind set that you will get bored with a 250, you will out grow it, etc. Shit man, I rode a Honda rebel 250 like a scalded dog and loved every minute of it. I think the gt might be a better fit for me (6'3). Really, really, really enjoyed this review and subbed!

Mirrormask MV, you rock. You really know your shit and we viewers appreciate that.

That was also a cool story about you meeting the Hyosung folks at your local dealer and you offer a lot of good info and advice during this test ride, thanks. Question: Do you think this bike would be comfortable for a guy 5'6" or would the cockpit feel too aggressive due to this rider because of having to reach even more for the handlebar? And, do you think that for light touring a Honda CB300R might be better due to a more upright sitting position on the bike?

[@thecman26]

Now they make a 650 version of this bike!

[@johnsmithfakename8422]

I am no expert hit this is something I do find a bit interesting about engines so I did a little research. The reason why Single cylinder engines have a lot of torque is because they are, relatively, big single cylinders with comparable engine stroke. The engine stroke is a massive component of the torque (an engine bore & stroke pretty much sets the base for what the engine is designed for). For example using the same displacement Hyosung GD250R, single cylinder, 73 x 59.6 mm Bore:Stroke (~28 Horses, ~19 Torque), 8 valve Ninja 250, Twin cylinder, 62.0 mm × 41.2 mm Bore:stroke (~35 Horses, ~15 Torque), 8 valve An oldie but a goodie for this comparison, Suzuki GW250, 53.5 x 55.2 mm Bore Stroke (~26 Horses, ~18 Torque), 4 valve There is a lot of information missing but this is to give a very rough estimation, and idea of what I am trying to say. An engine with a large bore has a lot of RPM's, and therefore power strokes. This gives the engine an innate leaning to low torque but high horsepower and RPM's An engine with a long stroke has less RPM's, less power strokes, BUT it extracts more work out of the fuel. The long stroke gives the engine more burn time per unit of fuel (more efficiency), and more torque. There is a sweet spot of efficiency and power, some say it is in the 0.9:1.0 bore:stroke ratio (I am looking at the Honda NC series), but that is another story. TL:DR Engines with longer strokes will have more low end torque.

Check the fuel Line and fuel pump, it on the left side under the plastic (under tank and near to seat) . Its easy to check it. Maybe the fuel Line get disconnected and its easy to fix.

Do you recommend the GT version of this with the V Twin? Also, I subbed.

[@MirrormaskMV]

The Gt is a good bike. Physically larger. If you're a bigger person. Go with the GT.

This bike looks like a little brother to my Honda 954RR, or my old 600F4. It's styled like a Sport bike. That tank is made to lie down on. It's built to go fast. The fact that it is not from China is a big deal. Much better after market support. I'm thinking of buying one for my son.

I'm not sure you're right about exiv. In Korea this bike is just called exiv (엑시브) however, they changed its name to gt250r, and now gd250r when they brought them here in the states. Maybe for marketing purposes? But exiv is kinda well established franchise in Korea

[@MirrormaskMV]

All this information is directly from the mouth of the Korean guys at the HQ for Hyosung in NA. I had a long chat with them when I was up their way.

[@michaelhwang1762]

@@MirrormaskMV I'm sorry but they were misinformed. I actually rode 1995 exiv 125 in Korea. And my cousin rode 2001 exiv 125, and then 2006 exiv 250. When they first brought them here as gt250r, and gt650r, they didn't have exiv decal but I knew they were exiv anyways

I find it a little hard to believe that Tae Kwan Kim the president of KRM America and Kyoo-Young Kim the president of Hyosung would tell me wrong.

[@michaelhwang1762]

@@MirrormaskMV yep. I would too. However, I don't think they are able to speak English like you or me. And it's very common to be misinformed during translation of one language to another. It's so common, that there's a word for it (lost in translation). I'm not 100% sure that's what happened, but I'm 100% sure about the name of the bike is exiv r. If you type 엑시브, you would see old and new versions of gd250r

[@MirrormaskMV]

I couldn't tell you. Me Kim spoke English but that still doesn't mean there wasn't English wording that didn't exist for the real meaning. All I can do is relay what I was told. But regardless of the name meaning, the bike itself is still a great bike

I disagree about your break in procedure. Number one if you’ve been riding motorcycles as long as you say, you know that you’re more vulnerable for the first six months to a year on any new machineNo matter how much experience you have. So part of that break and procedure is to help you get more acquainted with the motorcycle and scrub in the tires and brakes etc. also I believe in following the manufacturers recommendations because after all they did engineer and manufacture the machine. I’m riding a 2021 Kawasaki Z 900 RS café. I followed the recommended braking procedure because I don’t think that I am smarter than the engineers and the billions of dollars that went into R&D. I’ve been riding motorcycles for over 30 years and I can tell when I get an older machine that has not been broken in properly. You can actually measure the components in the engine and see the difference in tolerances. There’s been many studies on this however, the break in debate has been and will be going on forever

The horns sometime working sometime not, sometime its hard to start the engine, sometime will jerking after riding about 200km, the vibration makes my right hand numbs. I love the fuel comsumption. 1litre for 30km Servicing done accordingly like what been suggested in the service manual each 2500km. Cruising speed 6th gear on 6-7k rpm 110-128kmh. Not fast, just enough what to expect from a 1/4 litre 1 cylinder. It just me loosing confidence with the korean bike to do long journey with it plus the parts and mechanic quite hard to get in malaysia.....most mechanic will say no to korean or china bikes.

[@mrdanker6756]

i have the 2016 gt250r, only design complaint is philips screws holding the oil screen on. Also in the manual it says you cant skip gears while shifting. Maybe im lacking on maintenance somewhere (only 3k miles in) but it has issues shifting sometimes seemingly when i accidentally skip agear in shifting. It can be hard to go into neutral shift like 20 times til you finally land in it. It can straight up not let you shift into first and leave you sitting there looking stupid at intersections til you shut the engine off and restart. It can make clunking noises and some odd behaviors in shifting and stuff. BUT im a new rider, seems to not happen if you make a point to cyclethrough every gear, and manage to not accidentally go to low of speed for a gear (killing the engine in gear). Any chance you could let me know the GD250R parts are compatible with my bike? Namely the front cowl/faring for the nicer headlights that dont look like a moped, and the engine. Just wondering if i buy parts off this bike as i repair, i can phase into the one i wish i got lol.

[@MirrormaskMV]

No the GT250R and the GD250R are two completely different bikes. But as far as not getting into 1st while at a light, try letting the clutch out just a little bit and downshifting to first, also try rocking the back forward and backwards a little while trying to shift to first. As you are coming up to the light there are two ways you can go about it, you can either downshift and use engine breaking to slow you down all the way to 1st or you can pull the clutch in and use your breaks while you shift down to first. If you slightly let the clutch out and you feel the bike lung forward a little, you are too high of speed for that gear, pull clutch back in and go up one gear and slowly let it out. You will get a feel for it, just dont let the clutch all the way out until you are sure your speed will match your gear. Otherwise you will lock the rer tire up and the engine will shut off
