G'day, looking at buy a new bike for commuting & weekend enjoyment, any suggestions? Leaning toward a daelim vjf 250, they're cheap,economical & don't seem to have any major issues.
Yea make a short list and go to the dealers and firstly sit on them and test ride if possible .... and as risky says , just grunt at the salesmen . Nearing the end of the year they might be keen to clear their 2013 models. Most 2013 models are here ... http://2fiftycc.com/index.php?showcase/category/2013-model-line-up.3/
sales pitch is cow manure and money is tite so any sale to get cash flow is better than no sale. business is tuff.
Still undecided ... I am looking at getting a cheap ride for work & getting around town, I've had a look at a new daelim vjf 250 & hyosung gt 250, both fit my small budget & both have been around awhile, which would be the better buy? I would like to buy a new bike that's low maintenance & reliable.
From what I read they both had issues when the first models were released but as far as I know now the new models are ok in that area.
Personally the hyosung as my mate loves his and its not a bad ride. But which one are you most comfortable on? Which bike suits your riding style?
if you want a new bike thats cheap, well built and uses 2.8L/100km's, i highly recommend Yamaha's 2013 YZF-R15 Version 2.0, its a very reliable EFI 150cc alloy block & forged alloy piston bike that lack power but makes up with its handling. maintenance is low and it looks great. I got one new as my first bike for $3750 (ex demo with 200km's) the only thing you wont like about these bikes is when u face a steep hill. pros: fuel efficiency, handling, low maintenance and awesome reliability. build quality, cost. cons: power.
