We here at 2Fiddy.com love all things 250… It really is a great number. And when I saw this thread over at KawiForums It only felt right that we took some time out of our day to check out the United Motors V2S-250R.

The UM’s are imported from Korea (And seem to be just rebadged Hyosung’s) — but are a lil more readily avialable (ie. Not as many waiting lists), and tend to go for about 500 - 1000$ less than a Ninja 250R.

But, That Aside, this is still a decent first bike for those on budget, or those that are stuck on a Ninja Waiting list just looking for any small cc starter bike.

So, What do y’all think about this lil guy?
