HYOSUNG GT250R (2012-2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

Hyosung was a South Korean motorcycle manufacturer founded in 1978. It was a division of the Hyosung Group of Industries. In 1979, Hyosung started manufacturing Japanese Suzuki motorcycle designs.

The Comet series comprised 125, 250, and 650cc V-twin-powered recreational motorcycles. The GT250 was the naked version, and the GT250R was fully faired.

In 2012, the South Korean motorcycle manufacturer released the Hyosung GT250R, the fully faired version of the naked GT125 model. Besides its full armor, the bike was identical to the naked one in other departments.

The bike's aesthetic department was complemented by features such as six-spoke aluminum wheels, a two-into-one exhaust system with a silencer mounted on the right-hand side, a two-piece dual seat with a pillion grab rail, and a full fairing with a medium-sized windscreen.

The bike's suspension system comprised a 51 mm inverted fork mounted on the front end and a pre-load-adjustable shock absorber on the rear, which provided excellent riding characteristics.

The braking power came from two 300 mm brake rotors mounted on the front wheel and a 230 mm brake rotor mounted on the rear wheel. Hydraulic calipers clamped all discs, providing excellent stopping performance.

The 2012 Hyosung GT250R was powered by a 249cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine with a fuel injection system in charge, delivering 28 hp with a peak force at 10,500 rpm and 22 Nm (16 lb-ft) torque at 8,000 rpm.
