Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least a season or two of experience who are comfortable with a mid-weight V-twin sportbike's torque delivery and carbureted throttle response.
PurposeDesigned as an affordable middleweight sport bike for weekend spirited riding and light sport-touring rather than outright track domination.
Rider FitA moderate 780mm seat height and 208kg dry weight make it manageable for average-height riders, though the sporty ergonomics put some weight on the wrists during long stints.
CharacterThe V-twin engine gives it a torquey, characterful pull with a distinctive exhaust note that trades top-end thrills for mid-range grunt.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for new riders wanting an upright commuter or for anyone seeking a plush, wind-protected long-distance tourer.

Rider Fit Visualizer

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2006 Hyosung GT 650 R, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
