  1. A big thank you to Ray from Hell BM for sorting out the vanos seals on the E46, to any guys considering this...DO IT! Makes it smoother, more peeper? is that the word and even though iv only done 100km since the economy meter is showing better consumption so all in all very happy with the results.

  4. Hey guys,

    Just got a few bits I need to make the old E36 perfect!

    - That plastic cover that sits over radiator etc? Would be good if it came with the clips too - Refer to pic

    - LH front inner plastic guard

    - LH fog light

    Would be great if i could get these all at one place and if somebody would do a bit of a deal for all three, have cash!

    Im located in west auckland but will travel in auckland region.

    Cheers

    Beau

  5. Hey guys,

    Couple of things im clearing out.

    E36 eyelids - $ dozen heineken

    E30 M20B25 (off an 1987 pre facelift 325i) full standard exhaust. Had to cut the pipes by flange to get off (easy repair if you have a welder) but no holes or anything in system, replaced it for alternative system so out it goes. - $ dozen heineken

    Pm if interested.

  6. Regarding top speed of Hyosung, i dont know why you couldnt get more than 130kph, cause i can get 175kph out of mine and some times 180kph - pretty quick for a 250 twin really. And you cant compare a upright naked v-twin to a inline 4 sports bike, gotta compare apples with apples here. People need to get over the brand thing and there egos.


  7. Body work isnt too bad, paint work could be better...but i guess thats what you get as 250's are built to a budget. Good thing about Hyosung is all panels are two piece so if you crash on one side you dont have to replace both hahah this is good for racing but also road i guess as keeps costs of repair down.


  8. Go for the Hyosung mate. Iv got a Hyosung GT650 and GT250R race bike, never had a problem with either of them and they go great!

    As for reliability, i think you'l think they are fantastic. Never EVER had a problem with either of mine and the Hyosung GT650R which won the pro twins race class has done 31 rounds on the original engine - go figure. The GT250R has also won the 250 production class three years running - thats up aganist ninjas.

    A quick run over of specs, yes the ninja appears quicker on paper. However in the real world you have to rev the hell out of them to make them move, the hyosung being a v-twin has better spread of power. Also has twin disk brakes up front.

    You need to ride them though and see what suits you, but if your anything over 5 foot 7 and want some man points go for the Hyosung! the ninja looks like a girls bike - just look at all the advertising...

    As for people saying they arent rewarding, ask them have they owned one? raced one?

    Edit: reguarding fuel economy, i got 37km/l outa of my gt250r before i turned it into a race bike, that was with a mixture of town and open road riding.
