2007
2007
The 2007 Hyosung GT250 Naked, also known as the GT250 Comet in some markets, offered an entry-level option into the world of naked motorcycles. This model year represents a continuation of the GT250 line, aiming to provide an accessible and affordable motorcycle for new riders. Competitors at the time included bikes like the Suzuki GS500 and the Kawasaki Ninja 250, which also targeted the budget-conscious segment.
Powering the GT250 Naked is a 249.0 ccm V2, four-stroke engine. This engine produces a peak power output of 28.2 HP (20.6 kW) at 10250 RPM, and a torque figure of 21.0 Nm (2.1 kgf-m or 15.5 ft.lbs) at 7500 RPM. The bike's top speed is around 140.0 km/h (87.0 mph). With a dry weight of 155.0 kg (341.7 pounds) and a fuel capacity of 17.00 litres (4.49 US gallons), it offers a reasonable power-to-weight ratio for its class. The bike features a relatively low seat height of 795 mm (31.3 inches), which can be appealing to riders of shorter stature.
The GT250 Naked provides a relatively upright riding position, common for naked bikes, offering a good balance between comfort and control. The suspension is adequate for everyday riding, absorbing most bumps and road imperfections effectively. Handling is predictable and forgiving, making it suitable for newer riders still developing their skills. The bike is nimble enough for navigating urban environments, yet stable enough for comfortable rides on the open road.
The Hyosung GT250 Naked from 2007 is primarily aimed at beginner riders looking for an affordable and manageable motorcycle. It's also suitable for those seeking a fuel-efficient commuter bike. While it may not offer the cutting-edge features or raw power of more expensive machines, it provides a solid foundation for learning and enjoying the experience of motorcycling. It represents a practical and accessible entry point into the world of naked bikes.
