Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders who have moved past their first bike and want a naked with real mid-range punch and a distinctive V-twin character.
PurposeDesigned as a fun, torquey street naked for spirited commuting and weekend backroad rides rather than outright racing or long-distance touring.
Rider FitA relatively light and manageable 170 kg curb weight with a moderate 830 mm seat height makes it approachable for riders of average to taller stature.
CharacterThe 90-degree V-twin gives it a raw, torque-driven feel with strong low-to-mid RPM pull and a throaty exhaust note that feels more premium than its price suggests.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking off-road capability, plush long-haul touring comfort, or class-leading top-speed performance.

2017 Hyosung GT650 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 830mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2017 Hyosung GT650, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 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.
