Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits beginner riders or those returning to motorcycling who want a manageable, non-intimidating machine to build skills on.
PurposeIt's best suited to learning, commuting, and short leisurely rides rather than performance riding or long-distance travel.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light dry weight make it easy to manage for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterIt has a sporty look with a small-displacement V-twin engine, offering a distinctive engine character but modest real-world performance.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for experienced riders seeking strong acceleration, high-speed touring, or off-road capability.

2016 Hyosung GT125 Comet Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 795mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Hyosung GT125 Comet, 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.
