Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders who have progressed beyond a beginner bike and want a mid-weight V-twin sportbike to develop cornering skills.
PurposeDesigned as an affordable, entry-level sportbike that delivers a taste of V-twin character and sport-oriented handling without extreme performance or cost.
Rider FitA moderate seat height and manageable dry weight make it accessible to riders of average build, though the sporty ergonomics still put some weight on the wrists.
CharacterOffers a torquey, characterful V-twin growl and reasonably nimble handling that rewards a smooth, momentum-based riding style over outright speed.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders seeking long-distance touring comfort, serious off-road capability, or class-leading top-tier sportbike performance.

2009 Hyosung GT 650R 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 2009 Hyosung GT 650R, 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.
