Verdict
The Hyosung GT250R, priced at almost INR 3.40 lakhs (ex showroom), is an expensive piece of machinery for the specs. It is over-weight, it certainly isn’t the quickest and really not the best corner carving tool in its segment. However, no other bike in this segment promises the ‘big bike look’ that comes with the GT250R. Also, the recent facelift ensures that the bike won’t look dated for another couple of years. The smooth nature and adequate power of the Vee-Twin help in making this Korean set of two wheels a decent mile muncher too. On top of everything, DSK’s association has helped Hyosung with improving its after sales performance, which means the brand now offers more peace of mind thank ever before. In terms of looks and ergonomics, this is surely the easiest way to get close to the liter class machines, at a fractional price. Nothing beats this bike when it comes to pose-value. Also, a smooth engine, a sporty riding posture for the occasional track-day, and a decent ride quality means this is easily among the most promising products from DSK Hyosung.
Motoroids Rating (Overall) — 7.5/10.

what a thug bike
What? I doubt any sane person would spend over 3.5 lakhs for this bike which boasts of only “big bike looks” as the USP…one for the posers for sure!
What a waste of 3.40 lakhs and for what? “big bike feel?”..oh well at least it’ll be a hit with all the posers who don’t know what to do with their money
this bike is jst showoff not even that jst to impress foolish girls
What? A bit quicker than cbr250r? Had a decent time with gt n it doesn’t feel faster than ns. N obviously 0-100 is much less in cbr250r than 11 sec of this..n brakes r adequate? They r not adequate in terms of bite n stopping power n calculate its stoping distance its way more than its peers.. So plz dnt make the review feel lyk biased..:( didn’t xpect it from u
