Almost Chinese...Hyosung GT250R
She needs tires, rear pads, sprockets, and an updated valve tensioner would be cheap insurance. Title willl need to be bonded. We're asking $2000 for her now, and that will include new tires, pads, sprockets (all installed), tensioner, and the whole of the bonding process.
Perfect beginner's bike, but she's been a beginner's bike her whole life and has the scars to prove it. The left side upper has some rash, and there's a couple bits on the tail. No pillion pegs, but both hangers are there. Rides smooth and she gets up and goes a lot better than one might think for a 250. One fo the previous owners drilled a bunch of holes in the muffler but I don't think it's any louder than stock...not really sure what the point of that was. If someone wants to buy her as she sits and deal with the needed work on their own, we'll take $1500. I'm more than happy to ship to your closest fed ex dock at buyer's expense ($100~150 in most cases).

The Korean Hyosung bikes are quite nice, and the 250cc bike has a surprising amount of spunk.

A lot of people underestimate it because it's Korean and, mostly, because it cost more than the Ninja. It's not common knowledge that the bike is actually more powerful than the 250 Ninja (even the new one) and even outdoes the CBR. It's a fair bit heavier, though, so the Japanese will outrun it in the long run but no one spends a lot of time on any of the 250's in the triple digits.
I ride the GT650R daily and picked this bike up to flip and play with. I've actually had a lot of fun on it. I love the way it sounds. There should be more V-Twins in our lives.
