Good Points: styling, engine and transmission. feels and looks bigger than a 125

Bad Points: I think the flip up stand, paint on front forks is poor. I don't like the cheap and tacky looking decals on fuel tank, (I just took them off... I think it looks much better ),and the HYOSUNG logo stitched into the seat is a little on the large side for me.

General comments: The Hyosung RT125D bike seems to go well for a 125. the bike does more than 85 mpg, and as it's a 4 stroke you dont have to add expensive oil every time you fill it up with petrol, unlike the 2 stroke's.I think for a little 125 it's a good bike, and in my opinion it's as good as the Yamaha TW 125 and nearly as good as the Suzuki Van Van. I think the Suzuki is a little better finished off and the paint work seems to be of better quality, but it's as well finished off as the Yamaha. If you can get a good deal on a new one or even better, if you can get a second hand one in good condition with low mileage for around 1000 - 1200 pounds then I would go for it, as I don't think you would be disappointed. I think it's ideal for commuting to work or just having a laugh on it. In the UK, Hyosung bikes do not hold their money as well as the Japanese bikes, so take that into account when you first buy it.. if you can't get it at a good price then you must be prepared to lose a bit when you sell it on... overall a good little bike.

The Hyosung RT125 is a good looking learner leagle bike that hasnt let me down and gets me to work on time without any problems. Enjoyable to ride and looks bigger than a 125. Engine sounds good too!
Obviously important to break the bike in as recommended. Stinks a bit as the engine is cooking in. This model is cheap to buy ( £1700), reliable, enjoyable to ride and I dont care if its not made by a Japanese manufacturer. Bottom line, its value for money.

The engine, although still sounding a little rough round the edges at max revs has loosened up considerably. Front forks have held up good with no leakages and the chrome has stabilised since being dressed with WD40 after chrome polishing. The bike still looks good, and although described as an easy bike to ride, I would say it feels a little `top heavy' and requires the rider to learn to read the feedback from the bike more than other bikes I have ridden effortlessly. It still represents good v ...

From day one the bike has been extremely reliable and great fun to ride, on and off road. The initial 'shakedown' period is catered for in the owners manual in terms of quarter and half throttle openings in the first 1600 kms use, after which you can use the machine without restriction. As mentioned previously, it rides and feels like a much larger bike, and from the back appears larger especially with the massive tyre! It makes cornering a dream, and adds a feeling of total security and confide ...
