For the prudent yet enthusiastic motorcyclist, the quarter liter class seems the one to look for. With major players like the Ninja and CBR 250R already on the charts, it is imperative for others to hop on to the 250 cc bandwagon. Speaking of competitors, Hyosung has its hands full with the GT650 and the ST7.

And to enter the 250 cc segment, the Korean manufacturer has just one motorcycle with two versions. While it may be known as the Comet in some countries, GT250 is the global name for the bike.

In contrast to its well dressed twin GT250R, the GT 250 is a naked street machine. The bike which is propelled by a 249 cc V-twin will churn out 29 bhp at 10, 000 rpm and a twist of 23 Nm. With a kerb weight of 155 kgs, the GT250 is lighter than the CBR 250R and the Ninja, which translates to better power to weight ratio. The V- twin geometry also promises top speeds well above 150 kmph.

The bikini fairing and headlamps are reminiscent of a certain FZ that we know of. The boldly exposed frame and neatly upswept exhausts make up the package. If and when the GT250 is launched, the bike will be competitively priced. And when that happens we will be all too happy to get our eager hands on it.
