Kymco 250 Venox

[Graydog]

I don't think Kymco is mainland Chinese crap. It is a Taiwanese company and although not as reputable as Susuki and the rest of the Japan models it is not in the lower class with the mainland Chinese junk. Some reviews are very good and improving everyday. Those of you on the forum over 50...remember the term "Jap Crap"? Wasn't that long ago.

The Korean Hoysung GV250 is very high quality and gets pretty rave reviews in most MC mags.
They come with a 2 year warranty. It is a much larger bike with more HP. I kept a friends while he was temp. out of state in my garage. He said "ride it as much as you like' so I did. It just blows our little GZs out of the water! More comfortable, all the gauges, better looking, better sounding, no problem on the highway cruising at 75-80, and if you remove the "badges" it gets looks of respect from the big boys. If you don't tell anyone it is not a 750+ they will not know.
Sitting beside the GZ in my garage it made the GZ look like it need training wheels! :roll: It is still a 250 and you can't make it do things an 1100 will but people seeing you pass don't know that! :whistle:

Of course opinions vary. Now don't get angry with me for saying this...but....I consider our GZ250s to be of very poor quality compared to other bikes I have owned. But you get what you pay for and I knew that going in when I bought this bike.
