Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a beginner-friendly small-displacement sportbike, well suited to new riders building confidence and skill.
PurposeIt's styled as a mini sportbike, aimed at learners who want sporty looks and light handling rather than outright performance.
Rider FitIts light weight and low-ish seat height make it approachable for shorter or less experienced riders to manage at low speeds and in traffic.
CharacterThe V-twin engine and full sportbike fairing give it a distinctive, more premium feel than typical small-bore singles in its class.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for experienced riders seeking real power, high-speed touring comfort, or any serious off-road capability.

2017 Hyosung GT 125 R 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 GT 125 R, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
