Overview

Introducing the 2012 Hyosung GT125, a nimble and stylish sportbike that perfectly embodies the spirit of the entry-level motorcycle market. Designed for both new riders and those looking for a lightweight machine, the GT125 stands out with its aggressive styling and sporty stance. With its roots in South Korea, Hyosung has carved a niche for itself by offering quality motorcycles that deliver exceptional value for money. Whether you're commuting through city streets or embarking on weekend adventures, the GT125 is a versatile companion that promises thrills without overwhelming beginners. At the heart of the GT125 is a robust V2, four-stroke engine that displaces 125cc, producing a spirited 14.2 horsepower at a peaky 10,500 RPM. This lively powertrain ensures that the bike can reach a top speed of 110 km/h (68.4 mph), making it not just a commuter but also a spirited performer on open roads. The engine's torque of 10.2 Nm at 9,750 RPM provides ample pull for agile acceleration, allowing riders to navigate traffic with ease. Coupled with a 5-speed gearbox, the GT125 offers smooth transitions between gears, enhancing the overall riding experience. With a lightweight frame tipping the scales at just 166 kg (366 pounds), this motorcycle is easily maneuverable and responsive, making it a joy to ride in tight corners and urban environments. The GT125 is equipped with several key features designed to enhance both safety and comfort. Its front and rear braking systems utilize single disc brakes, which provide reliable stopping power, while the telescopic front suspension and swing arm rear suspension with hydraulic double shock absorbers contribute to a smooth ride over various terrains. The bike's comfortable seat height of 795 mm (31.3 inches) makes it accessible for riders of various heights, ensuring confidence while on the move. Additionally, the GT125 boasts an electric starter for hassle-free ignition and a generous fuel capacity of 17 liters (4.49 gallons), providing ample range for longer rides. The stylish color options in black and white further enhance its appeal, making this bike not only a practical choice but also a fashionable one. **

Pros

  • Excellent Value: The GT125 offers impressive performance and features at a competitive price point, making it ideal for new riders.
  • Lightweight and Agile: Weighing just 166 kg, the bike is easy to handle and maneuver, especially in urban settings.
  • Comfortable Riding Experience: With a well-designed suspension system and an accessible seat height, riders will find the GT125 comfortable for both short commutes and longer journeys.

Cons

  • Limited Power for Highway Use: While it performs well in urban environments, the 125cc engine may feel underpowered for sustained highway cruising.
  • Basic Instrumentation: The bike’s dashboard might lack advanced features that more experienced riders may expect, such as digital displays or ride modes.
  • Brand Recognition: As a lesser-known manufacturer, Hyosung may not carry the same prestige or resale value as more established brands, which could affect long-term ownership satisfaction.
