2007
The 2007 Hyosung GT 125 R Supersport entered the market as a budget-friendly option in the 125cc sportbike category. This fully-faired machine aimed to capture the attention of new riders and those seeking an affordable entry point into the world of sportbikes. It competed directly with motorcycles like the Yamaha YZF-R125, offering a different take on the small-displacement sportbike formula.
Powering the 2007 GT 125 R is a 125.0 ccm (7.63 cubic inches) V2, four-stroke engine. This configuration is somewhat unique in the 125cc class, differentiating it from the more common single-cylinder offerings. The engine produces 9.7 Nm (1.0 kgf-m or 7.2 ft.lbs) of torque at 10000 RPM. With a dry weight of 150.0 kg (330.7 pounds), the GT 125 R's power-to-weight ratio places it firmly in the beginner-friendly category. The fuel tank capacity is 17.00 litres (4.49 US gallons), allowing for reasonable range between fill-ups.
The Hyosung GT 125 R offers relatively track-focused ergonomics. The seat height of 795 mm (31.3 inches) makes it accessible for a wide range of riders. While not adjustable, this height provides a balance between a sporty riding position and reasonable comfort for shorter commutes. The riding position may feel cramped for taller riders on longer journeys, but is appropriate for the intended use.
The 2007 Hyosung GT 125 R Supersport was primarily targeted towards new riders seeking their first sportbike experience, as well as those on a tight budget. It provides an affordable option for learning the basics of motorcycle handling and enjoying the aesthetics of a fully-faired machine. While it doesn't offer the refinement or performance of higher-end competitors, it presents a viable entry point into the sportbike world for riders prioritizing affordability.
