This will be my first bike. It will be used mostly for commuting, so comfort and mileage are important, but I also want something good looking for cruising around town. I have narrowed it down to these two. Looks wise, I prefer the Hyosung. Has anybody ridden both who can tell me the strengths and weaknesses of each?

I'm actually planning to purchase a motorbike and have decided to get a Hyosung GT250R. I asked the same question and only received biased answers. If your have your license then take them out for a test ride and decide for yourself. Personally i think that the Hyosung by far is the best looking 250cc bike around with it's digital speedometer and all. I also have the peace of mind that if something goes wrong I'll have the 2 year warranty. With a V-twin engine it gives of a good sound at idle. Top speed is 170-180kmph. As for the Kawasaki, it does not appeal to me with it's lack of innovation for appearance. it's 2007 and they have a bike which looks like the 1995 model. We all know that you will have a reliable, well engineered and a name which everyone one knows.

There is a difference in comfort between the Kawasaki and the Suzuki. I have heard that the Ninja's are a very comfortable bike, but the newer Suzuki's have come a long way. If you want power, Suzuki 1250 will get you there. Make sure you take into consideration comfort though for longer rides, and most importantly, style and look. The bike has to fit the person. Shop around and sit on a few.

110% in agreement here with Firecracker again on this one. Stick with a well know brand name. The Hyosung motorcycle's have not been in the US very long. The Ninja 250 has been around for decades.

Kawasaki has a well established dealer network. Parts and repairs are easy to get. I have seen the Hyosung around, but I don't know who services them.

If you go with a kawasaki then your mechanics will have an easier time locating parts as well as being more likely to have had experience with them.
Stick with the Japanese stuff.
