The 2016 Hyosung GT250P represents a compelling option in the entry-level naked bike segment. This model continues Hyosung's tradition of offering accessible and stylish motorcycles, tracing its lineage back through earlier GT250 iterations. In its competitive landscape, the GT250P found itself vying for attention against established rivals such as the Kawasaki Z250SL and the Honda CB300F, aiming to carve out its niche with a distinct V-twin proposition and competitive pricing. It offered an alternative for riders seeking a lightweight, maneuverable machine with a sporty aesthetic.
At the heart of the 2016 GT250P is a 75° V-twin engine, displacing 249.00 ccm (15.19 cubic inches). This powerplant generates a respectable 27.00 HP (19.7 kW) at 10500 RPM, providing ample motivation for its class. Torque figures stand at 22.69 Nm (2.3 kgf-m or 16.7 ft.lbs) at 8000 RPM, contributing to its responsive character. With a dry weight of 170.0 kg (374.8 pounds), the power-to-weight ratio ensures a lively ride. The fuel tank capacity of 17.00 litres (4.49 gallons) provides a decent range for daily commutes and weekend excursions.
As a naked bike, the GT250P offers an upright riding stance, which is generally favored for its comfort and control, particularly in urban environments. The seat height, at 830 mm (32.7 inches) in its lowest adjustable setting, might be a consideration for shorter riders, but it contributes to a commanding view of the road. Its chassis is designed for agile handling, making it adept at navigating city traffic while still being capable of enjoyable rides on winding roads. The overall ergonomics are geared towards a balanced blend of sportiness and everyday usability.
The 2016 Hyosung GT250P is well-suited for new riders transitioning from smaller displacement machines, or those seeking an economical and engaging daily commuter. Its V-twin engine provides a different feel compared to the parallel-twin or single-cylinder offerings from competitors, giving it a unique character. For riders who appreciate a distinctive engine note and a comfortable, unfaired motorcycle, the GT250P represented a viable and often overlooked option in the quarter-liter naked bike segment.
