South Korean motorcycle maker Hyosung has collaborated with Garware to bring a range of affordable sports monsters to India. While the more powerful 600cc ones were launched last year, the next big thing from Garware-Hyosung will be the GT250R.
This 250cc oil cooled, V-Twin along with DOHC eight-valve mill assisted by a 5-speed Constant Mesh gearbox. The engine
produces a peak power of 27PS at 10,000 rpm and a peak torque of 21Nm at
6,750rpm.
As per various road tests it can hit a top speed of 149km/h with a weight of 188kg.
As per looks are considered the
GT250R is associated with more muscle than any usual 250 however its styling still appears to be a bit dated. On front end, we find similar twin disc brakes and an effective, two-stage projector
headlight.
One of the highlights is massive 17 litre fuel tank. The LED backlight comes handy with split garb rails but nothing much about them. On the front side the bike is surprisingly equipped with twin discs and a single at rear one but double not always means double. Same goes for its twin discs which provide effective braking undoubtedly but not as good as they appear.
Despite an electronic fuel-injection unit, the GT250R is devoid of low range punch in its rev range but once past 6000rpm, the GT250R wakes up.
On suspension front both the suspensions fail to project enough confidence, also the maneuvering feels less crisp and precise as compared to its competitors
The GT250R will be assembled in India . There are meaty upside-down front forks and a monoshock rear. Expect to chop out about Rs 2.75 lakhs for this babe
