2013 · Sport
The 2013 Hyosung GT125 represented a compelling entry in the entry-level sportbike segment, building on Hyosung’s lineage of accessible, full-sized motorcycles. For riders seeking a learner-friendly, yet visually mature machine, the GT125 offered an attractive package. It positioned itself as a direct competitor to models like the Yamaha YZF-R125 and the Honda CBR125R, aiming to capture a share of the burgeoning 125cc sportbike market with its distinctive V-twin configuration.
At its heart, the 2013 GT125 featured a 125.00 ccm (7.63 cubic inches) 75-degree V-twin engine. This powerplant generated a respectable 14.20 HP (10.4 kW) at 10500 RPM, with a peak torque of 9.70 Nm (1.0 kgf-m or 7.2 ft.lbs) arriving at 10000 RPM. These figures contributed to a top speed of 110.0 km/h (68.4 mph), making it capable of holding its own on most roads. The motorcycle weighed in at 167.0 kg (368.2 pounds), offering a substantial feel for its class. Fuel capacity stood at 17.00 litres (4.49 gallons), providing a decent range for daily commuting or weekend rides.
From a riding perspective, the GT125 offered a sport category experience. Its 795 mm (31.3 inches) seat height, while not overly aggressive, hinted at its sportbike aspirations, allowing riders to adopt a somewhat forward-leaning posture. While not as extreme as dedicated track machines, the ergonomics leaned towards spirited riding, with footpegs positioned to encourage a more engaged rider triangle. The overall setup aimed to provide a stable and predictable ride, suitable for newer riders getting accustomed to sportbike dynamics and handling.
The 2013 Hyosung GT125 was primarily aimed at new riders, those on a restricted license, or individuals seeking an economical and stylish commuter with sportbike aesthetics. Its full-sized appearance belied its smaller engine, offering a "big bike" feel without the associated power or insurance costs. For riders valuing a distinctive V-twin engine note and a motorcycle that looked more substantial than its displacement suggested, the GT125 presented a compelling, value-oriented proposition in the 125cc sport segment.
