low&slow - The Virago 250 is chain drive and air-cooled.

alvaro84 - The Hyosung GV250 has 2 carbs, 8 valves and DOHC, so it is more high performance than the Virago 250 - that is why the Virago probably gets better gas mileage.
The Virago 250 is single carb, 4 valves, SOHC, and is 40 lbs lighter than the GV250.

Also, the Hyosung GV250 is 25hp at 10,000 rpm.
The Virago 250 is 21@8,000 (1994) or 22hp@7,500 (1997).
