The Hyosung V-twin 250cc engine was designed in Hamamatsu Japan
by a design team consisting of engineers who have previously worked
in the R&D teams of some of the big Japanese motorcycle
companies. Because this engine is the newest design among its
rivals, it has many performance features that they do not have.
These include roller bearing cam shafts, 2 piece spring dampened
bevel silent primary drive gears, dual squelsh combustion chambers
etc. These are features that were previously confined to racing
engines, and in the past have been uneconomical for other
manufacturers to incorporate into smaller capacity engines for
street use. Proven DOHC 4 valve per cylinder configuration, with
twin downdraft Mikuni carburetors provide the highest volumetric
efficiency and air cooling coupled with an oil cooler provide
reliability in the harshest conditions.
GT250 rear
The latest sport bike styling is incorporated into a practical
design. Note the pillion seat and heavy duty tie down rails for all
your gear for those long trips. The rider's seat is firm in design
to provide good support and reduce fatigue. Heavy duty rear disc
brakes with twin piston fully floating caliper, six spoke alloy
wheels with wide tubeless tyres and free flowing exhaust system are
used to give maximum performance. A low cost racing muffler is also
available if additional engine output is required.
GT250 toolkit
The GT series all incorporate key lock storage compartment under
the pillion seat. Items such as wet weather gear, maps, lunch etc
can be stored here, as well as locking helmet security (depending
on helmet design). Tools are shown here to demonstrate size of
storage however a purpose made tool storage slot is under the
rider's seat. One key operates ignition, under seat storage and
steering lock. GT250 comet comes in 4 colour choices 1) mango
yellow 2) signal red 3) midnight black 4) metallic sky blue.
GT250 brake
The GT250 comes standard with huge front disc brake with twin
piston fully floating caliper. A twin disc kit is available as an
option for racing use. A six spoke alloy wheel and tubeless tyre
are suspended by High tensile upside down forks which have been
tuned in Australia by grand prix specialists to give optimum street
performance with plush, sensitive response and race worthy
performance.
GT250 headlight
With all this performance equipment, a new headlamp needed to be
designed so the comet could be ridden to its full capability at
night. The unique multi focus headlamp was designed in late 2002 to
provide long distance light projection for the rider to see as far
ahead as possible. It is the latest in headlamp design technology
and is fitted with a shatter resistant lens and a H4 60/55watt
globe.
