Engineered by Hyosung for the custom - cruiser motorcycle segment, the 2012 Hyosung GV125C pairs a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) oil & air-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. 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 and chain final drive. With a specific output of 113.6 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 1,490 mm (58.7 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.
