Rider Profile

Best For	Suited to newer and intermediate riders looking for a sporty-styled 250cc V-twin to build skills on, though note the spec sheet oddly lists 'single cylinder' while also describing a 75-degree V-twin engine, a likely data inconsistency.
Purpose	Designed as an affordable, entry-level sportbike for weekend fun, commuting, and learning cornering technique rather than outright performance.
Rider Fit	A compact, moderately lightweight machine with a manageable seat height that should suit shorter and average-height riders comfortably.
Character	Offers sportbike styling and a twin-cylinder character with modest power delivery, favoring nimble handling over raw speed.
Not Ideal For	Not the right choice for riders seeking long-distance touring comfort, serious track performance, or any off-road capability.

Inseam (optional)

Units

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 810mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Hyosung GD 250 R, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
