Hyosung heavy bikes images

On March 1st 2009 I purchased a Hyosung GT125R, my first motorcycle.

I decided to buy this bike over others, such as the Aprilia or the Honda because of the impressive size of the bike. This bike has a 250 frame so you can sit comfortably and ride in a position similar to other sports bikes. The Honda in particular is a very small bike and someone of my height will look like they are riding a push bike. The bike looks like any other sports, but with the 250 frame it's 14bh engine can struggle up hills.

The Korean bike maker is relatively unknown but in recent years has come into the mainstream. Problems with small bike makers include reliability, but with Hyosung now basing their engines on Suzuki blue prints things have vastly improved.

The GT250R's recorded fuel consumption is 3.4 L/100 km (83 mpg)[5] in comparison to 4.59 L/100 km recorded on the Kawasaki Ninja 250R. This allows the GT250R 500 km range from its 17-litre fuel tank.

The GT250R comes stock with a 249 cc V-twin engine.[2] The Hyosung V-twin 250cc engine was designed in Hamamatsu Japan by a design team consisting of engineers who have previously worked in the research and development teams of Suzuki. Technical features include roller bearing cam shafts, 2 piece spring dampened bevel silent primary drive gears, dual squelsh combustion chambers, features that were previously confined to racing engines, and in the past have been uneconomical for manufacturers to incorporate into smaller capacity engines for street use. It utilizes a DOHC 8 valve engine configuration, with twin downdraft Mikuni carburetors
