Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits newer or lower-intermediate riders thanks to its modest power output and manageable, entry-level naked-bike character.
PurposeIt's best suited for casual city commuting and learning the ropes of riding rather than aggressive performance riding.
Rider FitThe 830mm seat height combined with a fairly hefty 170kg dry weight means shorter or lighter riders may find it a bit of a handful at a stop, though once moving it feels manageable.
CharacterThe 75-degree V-twin gives it a distinctive throbby, characterful engine note that's uncommon in this class, setting it apart from typical inline-four or single-cylinder entry bikes.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for experienced riders seeking strong highway performance, long-distance touring comfort, or any kind of off-road capability.

2013 Hyosung GT250 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 762mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Hyosung GT250, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 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.
