Positioned in Hyosung's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2009 Hyosung GV125C features a 124.5 cc (7.6 cu in) oil & air-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 14.2 HP (10.4 kW) at 10,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 114.1 HP per liter, 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 GV125C measures 157 kg (346 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (11.06 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 700 mm (27.6 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,500 mm (59.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
