Rider FitThe seat height and moderate weight make it approachable for riders of average build and shorter riders alike.
CharacterIt has a mild-mannered V-twin character with modest power delivery, favoring smooth, accessible fun over outright thrills.
Not Ideal ForIt's not for experienced riders seeking real high-speed performance or long-distance touring comfort.

2008 Hyosung GT250R Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2008 Hyosung GT250R, 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.
