    Hi, I,m Rob and just bought my first 250cc after being out of the saddle for almost 8 years. My bike is an '08 Hyosung gt250r with 30000kms on the clock. I got it cheap because the last owner lost his licence. I got a shock when I saw it still had the factory tyres on it. They are badly cracked and perished I'm surprised they still hold pressure.

    It wasn't by choice, was forced to sell the bike due to divorce and unemployment. Taken a while but I managed to dig my way clear to buy again.
