Default UM v2s 250 ?

Hey There!

I went to the dealership today looking into a Hyosung 250 and lo and behold I saw the UM vs2 250. It's really the same mechanically as the Hyosung but for some reason it felt and looked a lot sweeter. Does anyone have any feedback about these bikes. I'm looking to get one for me and my wife! Check the pic!

Thanks,

Dame

i called a local dealer and 1) those were cheaper than the hyo, 2) they have a 3 year warranty! yeah, THREE YEARS, well..for the power train.

you can check out http://www.korider.com/forum/index.php

but i'm also seriously considering one, as the dealer quoted me 3500 out the door, plus tax.

Dude...they ARE Hyosungs. Hyosung is the manufacturer, UM is the importer (used to be Alphasports).

I rode the GT250 (naked version) and the GV250 (cruiser). Very much impressed. I'll tell ya, although the sportbike is heavier and has 4 less HP than the Ninja, it's got a better look to it. Handles well, good power, torque, accelaration, etc...

Why didn't I buy one? I didn't like the seating position, but that's just me...
