Winter maintenance will start in the cozy shop, further tempting me for that first trip.Coop a.k.a.

Our Mpls Kymco dealer had their annual Cabin Fever Days (Feb) and my visit was to get a good look at the newly introduced Downtown model. Their recent acquisition of the Hyosung line was a complete surprise to me.<br /><br />Another Coffee Friend's Hyo already had me watching for used GT's, so when I walked in and saw the marked down price on the GT250R, I was an owner before leaving that day, my first new vehicle of any kind since the mid-80's.<br /><br />I love the bike, the V-twin a major factor. It honestly feels like a small version of my Ducati and comes without the 'overhead'. The Duc fell very near the bottom of that mileage list above; it needs a new rear tire. That money buys ~2500 miles of gas for my 60mpg+ machines. Given the choice, it really wasn't much of one.<br /><br />I'd definitely do the Hyo again.Coop a.k.a.

Based on other things that had an impact on riding this past year, I'm confident that more miles ridden will just roll out on their own.Coop a.k.a.

I just started this year and except for the hassle entering data while going through Canada (no cell phone service), it is a great way to track mileage.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972915028116604677.post-82790258986624554982012-12-22T21:10:09.781-06:002012-12-22T21:10:09.781-06:00Great list of bikes in the stable and pretty good ...Great list of bikes in the stable and pretty good mileage for the year. Any time on two wheels is time well spent.<br /><br />And don't feel bad about it being under 10k miles. I am sure mine is less than half of that. Even with the big 1500 mile trip to Eastern Oregon it wasn't as many miles as last year. next year we are hoping to get out more.<br /><br />I don't keep track of my miles very close and I never set a mileage goal for the year, that way I can be happy with however many miles I did manage to squeeze in.<br />Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972915028116604677.post-49316960881388175302012-12-22T19:32:36.223-06:002012-12-22T19:32:36.223-06:00I really liked the Hyosung GT250R when I was looki...I really liked the Hyosung GT250R when I was looking and was very tempted. It came down between the Hyosung, the Honda CBR250R, and the People 250S. I ended up with the Kymco, but have a soft spot in my heart for the Hyosung. How's it been for you? It appears to be your "high mileage" bike. Of course, I read the above comment so that may change :)<br /><br />I'm hoping I remembered to write down the end mileage on the Symba last December. <br />~KeithKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972915028116604677.post-52418095710628969682012-12-22T19:27:33.660-06:002012-12-22T19:27:33.660-06:00You have the German thing now... it eat's pave...

Usually it's about half that. RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.com
