Built around Hyosung's sport motorcycle platform, the 2016 Hyosung GT250R pairs a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) oil & air-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 27 HP (19.7 kW) at 10,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 22.7 Nm (16.7 lb-ft) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 108.4 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (8,000 rpm) and peak power (10,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the GT250R measures 188.7 kg (416 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.14 HP/kg (6.99 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 830 mm (32.7 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,435 mm (56.5 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17.41-liter (4.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
