2012
The 2012 Hyosung GT125 is a V-twin powered motorcycle aimed at riders seeking an entry-level sport bike experience. Part of the GT family, it was designed to offer the aesthetics of a larger displacement machine in a learner-friendly package. Competitors at the time included models such as the Honda CBR125R and Yamaha YZF-R125, all vying for the attention of new riders and those restricted by licensing laws.
Powering the 2012 GT125 is a 125.0 ccm (7.63 cubic inches) V2, four-stroke engine. While not boasting extreme power, it produces a usable 10.2 Nm (1.0 kgf-m or 7.5 ft.lbs) of torque at 9750 RPM. This allows the bike to achieve a top speed of 110.0 km/h (68.4 mph). The fuel tank holds 17.00 litres (4.49 US gallons), providing a decent range for commuting or weekend rides. With a weight of 166.0 kg (366.0 pounds), it is manageable for most riders, contributing to its ease of use.
The GT125 offers a riding experience that emphasizes accessibility. The seat height of 795 mm (31.3 inches) makes it relatively easy for riders of varying heights to reach the ground. While not a track-focused machine, the riding position leans slightly forward, offering a sporty feel for everyday use. The suspension is adequate for absorbing bumps on typical roads, although it might feel less composed on very rough surfaces.
The Hyosung GT125 from 2012 appealed to new riders, those seeking an affordable motorcycle, and individuals restricted to smaller displacement bikes due to licensing. Its V-twin engine provides a distinct sound and feel compared to single-cylinder competitors. The GT125 offers a visually appealing package and a reasonable riding experience at a budget-friendly price point.
