Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2016 Hyosung GT125 Comet, a vibrant entry in the sport motorcycle category that captures the essence of performance and style for riders seeking both excitement and practicality. With its sleek design and spirited demeanor, the GT125 Comet is tailored for urban commuting while offering the thrill of a sporty ride. As a product of South Korean engineering, this motorcycle stands out with its robust build quality and attention to detail, making it a compelling choice for new riders and enthusiasts alike. At the heart of the GT125 Comet lies a potent 125cc V2, four-stroke engine that delivers a spirited 14.2 horsepower at a peak of 10,500 RPM. This lively powertrain is complemented by a responsive 5-speed gearbox, ensuring that every twist of the throttle translates into exhilarating acceleration. With a top speed of 109 km/h (67.7 mph), the GT125 Comet offers enough oomph for spirited rides while remaining accessible for riders still honing their skills. The bike's torque of 9.7 Nm at 10,000 RPM provides a satisfying push, making it ideal for navigating through city traffic or tackling winding country roads. The GT125 Comet is not just about raw performance; it's also packed with features that enhance the riding experience. The double cradle steel frame contributes to a stable and confident handling, whether you’re carving through corners or cruising down straightaways. The suspension setup, featuring a conventional fork in the front and a swingarm with hydraulic double shock absorbers in the rear, provides a balanced ride that absorbs bumps while maintaining agility. Coupled with its effective braking system—300 mm semi-floating disc up front and a 230 mm disc at the rear—the GT125 Comet ensures that stopping power is as impressive as its acceleration. Available in striking color options of black, white, and red, this motorcycle not only performs well but also makes a statement on the road. **
