2011
The 2011 Hyosung GT 125 is a learner-legal, V-twin engined motorcycle aimed at riders seeking an affordable entry into the world of sport bikes. Part of the GT series, Hyosung’s offering directly competed with other 125cc machines such as the Yamaha YZF-R125 and the Honda CBR125R. It distinguishes itself with its distinctive, larger-bike styling and a V-twin configuration rarely seen in this displacement class.
Powering the 2011 GT 125 is a 125.0 ccm (7.63 cubic inches) V2, four-stroke engine. This powerplant produces a maximum torque of 10.2 Nm (1.0 kgf-m or 7.5 ft.lbs) at 9750 RPM. The relatively high RPM at which peak torque is achieved suggests a need to rev the engine to access its power. The bike's top speed is rated at 110.0 km/h (68.4 mph), suitable for urban commuting and short trips. With a dry weight of 167.0 kg (368.2 pounds), it's heavier than some of its single-cylinder competitors, which may slightly affect acceleration and handling. The fuel tank holds 17.00 litres (4.49 US gallons), providing a reasonable range for its intended use.
The riding position on the 2011 GT 125 leans towards a sportier feel, although not as aggressive as a dedicated track machine. The seat height of 795 mm (31.3 inches) makes it accessible for a wide range of rider heights. The suspension setup is adequate for everyday riding, absorbing most bumps effectively. However, riders should expect a firmer ride compared to more touring-oriented motorcycles. The bike's handling is predictable and confidence-inspiring, making it a good choice for novice riders to hone their skills.
The 2011 Hyosung GT 125 is primarily aimed at new riders, those on a restricted license, or individuals seeking an inexpensive and stylish commuter. It offers the look and feel of a larger sportbike without the associated running costs and power. While it may not match the outright performance of some of its competitors, its V-twin engine and attractive styling provide a unique appeal. It's a solid choice for those prioritizing aesthetics and affordability over ultimate speed and agility in the 125cc segment.
✅ Why buy this bike?
• Affordable price point, making it a budget-friendly option for new riders or those seeking economical transportation. • Lightweight and nimble handling, offering easy maneuverability in urban environments and beginner-friendly control. • Fuel-efficient engine, providing cost savings on fuel expenses for daily commutes and longer rides. • Stylish, sporty design that visually resembles larger displacement motorcycles, appealing to younger riders. • Relatively comfortable riding position for shorter journeys, suitable for daily commutes and city riding. • Availability of spare parts and maintenance relatively simple due to its widespread presence in certain markets.⚠️ Things to consider
• Limited power output from the 125cc engine, restricting its suitability for highway riding or carrying passengers. • Questionable long-term reliability compared to Japanese brands, potentially leading to higher maintenance costs over time. • Lower build quality in some components, possibly resulting in faster wear and tear compared to premium motorcycles. • Resale value is generally lower than more established brands, impacting its investment potential. • Suspension can feel basic and less refined, potentially impacting comfort on rough road surfaces.Rule of thumb: under 125cc / 15HP → A1, under 47HP → A2, above → A.
