In 2005, the South Korean motorcycle maker released the Hyosung RX125, a small displacement motorcycle best suited for beginner riders who wanted to take their first step into off-road motorcycling.
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 2005 model year was the eighth consecutive production year. It came with the same package as previous ones, offering the same specifications without any significant changes.
The RX125 was produced from 1998 until 2009 and sold in many countries, such as Asia, North America, Europe, and Oceania. In Brazil, it was assembled from CKD kits by Kasinski Motos and renamed a Kasinski product.
Visually, the motorcycle was fitted with standard features, such as a high-mounted front mudguard, a rectangular headlight integrated into a small cowl, a one-piece dual seat, an engine protective cover, and wire-spoke wheels with mixed tires.
For suspension, the motorcycle packed an inverted telescopic fork on the front with 250 mm wheel travel and a dual-sided swingarm tied to a single shock absorber on the rear with 200 mm of travel.
As for the power figures, the 2005 Hyosung RX125 had installed a 124cc four-stroke air-cooled single-cylinder engine at its core, boasting 12 hp at 10,300 rpm and 10 Nm (7 lb-ft) torque at 7,500 rpm.
