I've owned 7 carb bikes in the past. Nothing but headaches.
Not sure what you think the problems are with the carbed bikes. I had my 250R for over 3 years and not once did I have any problems with starting, running etc..... It may take a little longer to warm up before you start off on the colder days but other than that no concerns.....
You think carbs are better then FI? Now I'm left questioning your sanity.
Not hating Bro I was just inquiring. Saying parts are cheap from Korea and arrive quickly would logically lead someone to believe, the parts aren't available at the local dealer. After all I don't normally order my parts direct from Japan. I go to my local dealer who HAS the parts, or gets them next day.
Again your statements don't seem to make sense.. If my local dealer doesn't have a part I don't "order parts from Korea through them" The dealer simply orders the parts for me. It is cheaper for ANY dealer to order a part direct as they get wholesale pricing over retail pricing so that isn't unique to Hyo.

So tell us of YOUR extensive experience with carbed bikes and ALL the problems you have had with them. Normally if someone has an issue with a carbed bike it is due to one of two main issues.
!. lack or preventative maintenance
2. the bike has been left sitting for a VERY long period of time.
I don't think anyone is saying that. But you starting saying the Ninja 250R is carbed and old school tech. Do you have have any experience with this model that you can base your judgement on? Saying all carbed bikes have issues and are equal is like saying all FI bikes are the same?
well I have had MANY more than 7 I would respectfully suggest it isn't the carbed bikes but rather owner issues. There have been MILLIONS of carbed bikes over the decades, that have seemed to run successfully for the millions of other owners.
They told me they could order parts directly from manufacturer for me, when I got the package you can see it came from the HQ in Korea. The part I wanted was an upgraded part, they only had the standard parts. I wanted to increase top speed.
The he bike is not as bad as people have been saying, it's far from junk. However the ninja 250 does out perform the gt250r, but not by a a lot.
Yes I've owned a 2001 ninja 250 and a 2008 ninja 250r.
Carbs have issues starting in cold. FI turns on no problem in sub zero temp.
Fair enough. Carbs are not crap, but FI is way better. IMO. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But should be based on personal experience. I have yet to see someone say they owned a gt250r and say it was junk.
I've ridden my old 250R on cold days and never had issues starting it. It take a few minutes to warm up before the bike would idle consistently. But other that that no issues for me.....
Depends what you're after. Performance the ninja 250 is definitely there, and a lot more mods available. However the big downfall IMO is the carb. I don't know why they kept it carbs in the newer model. In Europe they went FI.
If you downgrading from a 600 super sport, you will be more comfortable on a gt250r as they share the same riding position, ninja 250r is more sport touring. Both good options, but if you don't mind having problems starting the bike from time to time, then carbs are an okay option then I guess.
well I had problems with start up many time numerous times on my ninja, cbr, r6. That's why i personally will never buy a carb motor again. FI all the way for me. But looks like most people on this forum love old school tech carb motorcycle. Each to their own I guess.
I don't think anyone said the Gt250r is junk, They simply advised based upon the MANY reports of premature engine failure, that he should as a new rider go with something that doesn't have the same history. Is that to say there hasn't been motor failures on the other brands? Not at all but compared to the volumes of vehicles produced and sold, of the other brands compared to the GT250r there appears an issue, with motor reliability. Having said that a few have told him, (rightfully so), that if he wants it he should get it, a few have chimed in that it is over priced. Some have said stay away, (same as you told him with carbed bikes).
You seem to have a good bike, you enjoy it, (which is all one can ask for). It is natural for you "defend" a bike that you own and enjoy, but one also needs to look at the BIG picture the OP is a new rider, likley with VERY limited resources, and mechanical ability to wrench on a bike therefore the BEST advice we can gicve is be an informed consumer and apporach ANY bike with an informed buying decision based upon all the facts available, at the time.
I have enjoyed all my bikes. Even the ones that put me through hell. I still plan to buy more bikes. All motorcycles have issues, but I have yet to see anyone on this post admit they had one and had anything to say negative about it. When I first started riding, I considered this bike as an option, but because of the bashing and **** talking I never gave it a chance. Many years later when looking to downgrade bikes, this option seem pretty cheap on the used market so decided to give it a chance. Nothing at all what people said about it. And after more research, I couldn't find anybody who owns one that hates it. So I'm trying to let the new rider know the bike isn't pure junk.
Most at people that are new buy a 250 and think they get bored of it within a few months, so in reality, would probably not likely run into any problems at all before they upgrade. In the end when you buy used, it's hard to find out what you're getting into unless you know your stuff. Friend of mine bought a 2010 cbr 600rr. Blew the motor in first season. Not sure if it was because the way he was riding it, or if the pervious owner didn't take care of it. Honda is a very reliable brand. You win some and lose some in the use market. The OP wanted to know about the brand, but most that spoke never owned one or knew anyone who owned one.

Wow I see you're on the warpath. You said carbs are nothing but problems. Where did I say carbs are better? I mean there isn't even any fine print or legalize to get hung up on. Dfuq?*
*WTF?
Rust spots inside the gas tank before season one was done. New in April, rusting by August.
