Overview
Introducing the 2016 Hyosung RT125D, a spirited contender in the all-rounder motorcycle category that expertly balances performance, practicality, and affordability. Perfectly tailored for both new riders and seasoned enthusiasts looking for an agile, lightweight machine, the RT125D stands out with its stylish design and approachable ergonomics. With a unique blend of classic motorcycle aesthetics and modern engineering, this nimble bike is ready to tackle city commutes, scenic weekend rides, and everything in between. At the heart of the RT125D lies a robust 124.5cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a thrilling riding experience. With an impressive compression ratio of 11.3:1, this engine produces a smooth and responsive power curve, making it an ideal companion for urban navigation or leisurely country roads. The 5-speed gearbox allows for seamless shifting, while the oil and air cooling system ensures the engine stays at optimal operating temperatures.

Its sturdy steel frame and well-engineered suspension—featuring a telescopic fork up front and a monoshock in the rear—provide a stable and confident ride. Safety is paramount, with a single disc brake at the front and a reliable drum brake at the rear for balanced stopping power. The motorcycle's lightweight design (weighing in at just 135 kg) and a seat height of 790 mm make it accessible for riders of varying heights. Additional conveniences such as an electric starter and a choice of striking color options (black, white/red, and red/white) allow riders to express their personality while enjoying the ride. **
