Overview

Introducing the 2016 Hyosung GT125R, a spirited entry in the sport motorcycle category that expertly balances performance, aesthetics, and affordability. Designed with the aspiring rider in mind, the GT125R appeals to both newcomers to the two-wheeled world and seasoned enthusiasts seeking a nimble, lightweight machine. With its aggressive styling and vibrant color options, including sleek black and dynamic white/red or red/white combinations, it commands attention on the road while providing an exhilarating ride that embodies the essence of sport biking. At the heart of the GT125R lies a spirited 124.5 cc V2 four-stroke engine, engineered for efficiency and responsiveness. With a compression ratio of 10.2:1 and a sophisticated fuel injection system, this motorcycle delivers a smooth power band, making it perfect for city commuting and spirited weekend rides alike. Riders will appreciate the well-tuned 5-speed gearbox that facilitates seamless gear changes, while the lightweight chassis, tipping the scales at just 120 kg (264.6 pounds), enhances maneuverability, allowing for quick transitions in and out of corners. Coupled with an impressive fuel consumption figure of 3.02 liters per 100 km (77.89 mpg), the GT125R ensures that you can enjoy longer rides without constantly worrying about refueling. The GT125R doesn't skimp on technology and features that enhance the riding experience. Its robust steel frame is complemented by a front telescopic fork and a rear hydraulic mono shock absorber, providing a responsive ride that absorbs bumps with ease. The braking system is equally commendable, equipped with dual 300 mm front discs and a 230 mm rear disc, ensuring confident stopping power whether navigating busy streets or tackling winding roads. Its electric starter adds convenience, eliminating the hassle of kick-starting, while the 17-liter fuel tank offers ample range for both urban commuting and weekend adventures. **

Pros

  • Sporty Performance: The V2 engine delivers lively acceleration and responsiveness, ideal for both novice and experienced riders.
  • Fuel Efficiency: With an impressive mileage of 77.89 mpg, the GT125R allows for longer rides without frequent stops at the pump.
  • Lightweight and Nimble: Weighing only 120 kg, the bike offers excellent agility, making it easy to maneuver through traffic and tight corners.

Cons

  • Limited Power for Highways: While great for city riding, the 124.5 cc engine may feel underpowered on highways, especially at higher speeds.
  • Basic Suspension Setup: The suspension may lack the advanced adjustments found in more premium sport bikes, which can limit performance on uneven roads.
  • Small Fuel Tank: Although fuel-efficient, the 17-liter tank may require more frequent refueling on long-distance rides compared to larger-capacity competitors.
