The Hyosung V-twin 250cc engine was designed in Hamamatsu Japan
by a design team consisting of engineers who have previously worked
in the R&D teams of some of the big Japanese motorcycle
companies. Because this engine is the newest design among its
rivals, it has many performance features that they do not have.
These include roller bearing cam shafts, 2 piece spring dampened
bevel silent primary drive gears, dual squelsh combustion chambers
etc. These are features that were previously confined to racing
engines, and in the past have been uneconomical for other
manufacturers to incorporate into smaller capacity engines for
street use. Proven DOHC 8 valve engine configuration, with twin
downdraft Mikuni carburetors provide the highest volumetric
efficiency and air cooling coupled with an oil cooler provide
reliability in the harshest conditions.
GT250R Grabrail
The latest sport bike styling is incorporated into a practical
design. Note the pillion seat and heavy duty pillion grabrail with
3 tie down points for your gear for those long trips. The rider's
seat is firm in design to provide good support and reduce fatigue.
Heavy duty rear disc brakes with twin piston fully floating
caliper, six spoke alloy wheels with wide tubeless tyres and free
flowing exhaust system are used to give maximum performance. A low
cost racing muffler is also available if additional engine output
is required.
GT250R Front Wheel
Huge twin front disc brakes with dual twin piston calipers
provide amazing stopping power. Large 41mm inverted front forks
provide superb handling by working in tune with the gas charged
rear shock absorber.
GT250R Display
Digital instrument panel includes fuel gauge, clock and dual
trip meters.
GT250R Styling
Dual lens headlamp and aerodynamic fairing are stylish and
functional. A tinted windscreen is available as an optional extra.
Race position handlebars and adjustable footrest positions give the
rider flexibility to tailor the ride position to rider
preference.
