An excellent showcase by motorcycle.com of some of the best 250cc street bikes out there today including the kawasaki ninja 250r, suzuki tu250x, johnny pag fx/3, CFMoto V3 and the Hyosung gt250r.

All with ton's of info, comparisons, dyno tests, a video review and a butt load of pics. A great review for anyone looking to get there hands on a 250cc motorcycle .

I kno I may be a little biased becuase i own one but its looks like the hyosung gt250r is getting some much deserved praised as motorcycle.com calls it the best 250cc engine on the market

Is Hyosung still wildly out to lunch with their pricing though?

***nvm works now, is it just me or does the johnny pag sound like an inline four?

Ya it does sound alright, The quality scares me tho, especially after the test model broke down. But who knows until you take one for a ride.

Cheaper than the kawi in the states but i think there like 100 - 200 more than the kawi here in Canada. Wierd, maybe the fuel injection jacks it up

Oh damn, I never knew a bike like the Suzuki TU250X existed! That's exactly what I want (for now). Any word on Canadian distribution?

if the hyo is fuel injected and around the same price as a 250 i don't think that's too unreasonable.

You'd have to go to US to get it, but couldn't really make it street legal in Canada anyways .... It's actually very good little bike. I read one extensive review, faired very well. It has EFI if you can believe it ....

It's a sweet-looking little bike....seemed to do pretty well in the review as well. Too bad it wasn't around when I was looking for my first bike and ended up with the GZ250.

Looks like the Johnny Pag didn't do too hot. Too bad they sent the reviewers a lemon.

I would go ask a dealer , im sure they could get one for you if you wanted. I heard they may bring it here in 2010-

- if i wanted one tho i would check new york ads for used ones and make the trip down to buffalo, save some cash
