Hyosung GT 125 Comet

Problems with the gear box are annoying but that is the only problem i can find with this bike, parts are hard to find that are cheap, bike would be better with a rear hugger as well

i have a a hyosung gtr 125/07 and the only problem with these is poor gearbox and poor brake callipers but every thing else perfect

i have a black hyosung gt125r with stubby carbon can and stainless pipes and also rear wheel hugger,bike looks fantastic and feels like i big bike,it seems the only people that complain about these bikes being slow are people who have actually never ridden one or have thrashed it early in its life and not run it in properly,my bike easily keeps up with traffic around town but really comes too life out in the open.1st gear is a little short and second gear isnt much longer but 3rd is where its at,20 to 60 mph is quick for such a big bike with a small engine,but the bike just wants to go faster and faster when on the longer roads, ive owned a few 2 stroke racers and this just feels better! and grips the road like it should.others in its class were the honda shadow 125 (overpriced and too cruisery for my liking)

the Honda Varadero 125 ( same power and great looking but a little too pinchable looking for its off road ability)

honda cbr (wheels from a bmx nuff said)

other 2 strokes aprillia nsr cagiva (too costly to restrict and keep fixing)

so all in all for me the hyosung gt125r was the perfect learner.

and its korean and uses loads of parts from suzuki not Chinese rubbish

One word AMAZING! I have only had this bike for a few days and its amazing. Its not like any other 125 on the market. I am 17 and have just come from riding a scooter (yamaha aerox 50) and its not the most simple bike to learn on. The main thing that attracted me to this bike was the size of it as i am 6ft 3 and weigh 13 stone, its is the same size as my dads mates 850 and also not too much smaller than my dads 1100. If I didnt have 'L' plates on the bike no one would know it was only a 125. People are saying that it does 0-60 in 15 seconds which in my case is not true as it is about 10 which I know is not as fast as the small unreliable 2 stoke lawnmowers but it is quick and i can still leave cars off the line. I have looked at aprilia's, derbi's and many other 2 strokes and nothing looks as good as the Hyosung. Long story short this is the best 125 on the market and I would advise anyone to get this bike.

i think my black & white GT125R is a brilliant bike to ride,& the same with the road handerling.

iv had this bike since 5/3/10 to date,it let me down on a cupple of occasions with a proble with the petrol(valve) the bike cut out on me. manufffactural problem.the dealer where who i purchase it from changed the part & every thing is good now,had a hyosung before just after thay came out loved the bike as much then as i do now.top speed is 75 can get 80 out of it at a push,i find the seat a bite bad on a longish ride.i would recommend this bike as a first time bike,looks as big as a 650? happy & safe riding to all

I have had my 125gt r bike for 6 months now and let me say its amazing!!! i ride it 70 miles 5 days of the week and it hasn't missed a beat! i got a bike cause driving my car too work is too costly. the 17L tank is excelent for long journies and i just have to fill it up once a week (350 miles!!!). The bike look amazing (sexy) no one can tell its a 125 until they see the sticker! the bike is excelent to learn on, specially if you want to go on to do your DAS. speed is ok, tops i got was 89mph down hill average flat 84mph. i will recomend this bike to anyone.. great value for money. get one you will not regret!!

i do like my hyosung gt125r 07 its a very comfortable drive but i am having problems with the revs i dont want to be splashing out on different parts as iv i have already spent abit and i wonder if any 1 can help?

when im driving and i get up 2 about 6-7 k revs the rev counter starts going crazy bouncing up and down as i go faster over about 40 i gets worst? HELP. dan

I inherited this bike from the wife - it was too big for her? I am 6' 2" 21 stones and this wee bike is just fine for me. It goes just fast enough for me to enjoy the ride, great wee starter bike. I went to an upholsterer and had him adjust the pillion seat, he shaved it down so that my legs could stretch out and the pillion seat not dig into my bum, now I sit back relaxed and enjoy the trip. If you are thinking about getting a starter bike you'll not go wrong with one of these.

i have owned my Hyosung GT125R since new in 2007. I have ridden the bike through all weathers and clocked up over 13,000 miles. The has never skipped a beat. There have been minor "faults" that have caused irritance rather than full blown breakdown. firstly the battery died on me (my fault it was left for over 3 weeks with alarm enabled, it never worked the same after so i replaced)

secondly i have had an issue with the sidestand switch. this is a noted fault by some hyo owners. dirt and grime causes the switch to behave irratically. with a good clean this stops the issues, but i chose to just remove it.

the paint on the gas tank is good, but not suzuki/honda/kawa good.

other than that, the bike is fast, big, stylish, and sound beuitiful.

more and more aftermarket parts are becoming available as these bike get a good reputation.

i love this bike so much, i have created a website about my dealings with it.

these bikes have a switch on the stand so that the engine cuts out if you put the bike in gear with the stand down, what happens is the switch gets fouled up due to dirt getting in and the bike thinks that the stand is down even when you put the stand up.try removing the conection to the switch and shorting the pins together with a bit of wire if thise cures your problem clean the switch with wd 40 ore replace it ,hope this helps
