2013
The 2013 Hyosung GT125 is a V-twin powered sportbike that offered an entry point into the world of motorcycling. Part of the GT series lineage, it aimed to provide a scaled-down experience of larger displacement sportbikes. Competitors at the time included models like the Honda CBR125R and Yamaha YZF-R125, both offering alternative styling and engine configurations in the 125cc class.
At the heart of the 2013 GT125 lies a 125.0 ccm (7.63 cubic inches) V2, four-stroke engine. This configuration provides a distinct sound compared to the single-cylinder engines often found in this displacement category. The engine produces 9.7 Nm (1.0 kgf-m or 7.2 ft.lbs) of torque at 10000 RPM, enabling reasonable acceleration for its class. The bike can reach a top speed of 110.0 km/h (68.4 mph). With a fuel capacity of 17.00 litres (4.49 US gallons), the GT125 allows for decent range between fill-ups. The machine's weight comes in at 167.0 kg (368.2 pounds), which impacts handling and overall agility.
The GT125 offers a fairly upright riding position, leaning slightly towards track-focused ergonomics, although not as aggressive as higher-spec sportbikes. The seat height is 795 mm (31.3 inches), which may be a comfortable height for many riders. The suspension is set up for general road use, offering a balance between comfort and control. The V-twin engine provides a different feel compared to inline engines, and the sound contributes to the overall riding experience.
The Hyosung GT125 is suitable for new riders seeking a sporty aesthetic and the distinctive sound of a V-twin. It is also suitable for those looking for an affordable option in the 125cc category. While it may not have the outright performance of some of its competitors, it offered a unique package with its engine configuration and styling, providing a budget-friendly entry into sportbikes.
