The 2011 Hyosung GT 125 R is a fully faired sportbike aimed at riders seeking an entry-level machine with aggressive styling. Part of the GT series, it offers a more affordable option compared to larger displacement sportbikes. It competes directly with models like the Yamaha YZF-R125, offering a similar aesthetic but often at a lower price point.
Powering the GT 125 R is a 125.0 ccm engine that produces 10.2 Nm of torque at 9750 RPM. This translates to a top speed of around 110.0 km/h. With a weight of 166.0 kg, the bike benefits from a reasonable power-to-weight ratio for its class, aiding acceleration and handling. Fuel capacity is a respectable 17.00 litres, allowing for decent range between fill-ups.
The GT 125 R offers track-focused ergonomics, with a relatively aggressive riding position, although less extreme than higher-performance sportbikes. The seat height is 780 mm, potentially making it accessible to a range of riders. The fully faired design provides some wind protection, contributing to rider comfort at higher speeds. Rearset pegs contribute to the sporty feel, placing the rider in a more leaned-forward posture.
The 2011 Hyosung GT 125 R is targeted towards newer riders and those looking for an affordable and visually appealing entry into the sportbike world. It offers a stepping stone to larger displacement machines, providing experience with clutch control, gear changes, and sportbike handling characteristics. While not the most powerful in its class, it presents a budget-friendly option for riders prioritizing aesthetics and a sporty riding experience over outright performance.
✅ Why buy this bike?
• Sportbike styling at an affordable price point makes it visually appealing for new riders entering the sport bike scene. • The V-twin engine provides a distinct sound and character not typically found in other 125cc motorcycles. • Relatively low seat height and manageable weight make it accessible and confidence-inspiring for shorter riders. • Fuel efficiency is generally good for a sportbike, reducing running costs for daily commutes and longer rides. • The full fairing provides decent wind protection for a 125cc, enhancing comfort on longer journeys at moderate speeds. • It's a good beginner bike for learning sportbike handling characteristics before stepping up to larger displacement machines.⚠️ Things to consider
• Performance is limited due to the small engine size, struggling with steep inclines or carrying a passenger. • Build quality and reliability can be questionable compared to Japanese or European manufacturers, potentially requiring more maintenance. • Parts availability and servicing can be more challenging in some regions compared to more mainstream brands. • The suspension and brakes are basic, lacking the sophistication and performance of higher-end sportbikes, impacting handling. • Resale value is generally lower compared to other 125cc motorcycles due to the brand's reputation.Rule of thumb: under 125cc / 15HP → A1, under 47HP → A2, above → A.
