The 250 cc sports bike segment of Indian auto market has been never spoilt of choices. For a long time, there was only one model Kawasaki Ninja 250, dominating the segment. Thereafter, Honda came with its CBR 250R, which enthralled the Indian auto aficionados. Owing to the high demand in this space, a number of auto makers have now marked their presence in the same and the latest one is Hyosung with its GT250R. With the launch of several models, the list of options is at an all-time high, assisting buyers with a multiple choice challenge. Therefore, cartrade.com has compared GT250R and CBR 250R on various aspects.
Although both the bikes are equipped with a 250 cc engine, Hyosung GT250R is more powerful than Honda CBR 250R. The former churns out a maximum power of 28 bhp, whereas the figures of later stand at 26 bhp. Considering by size, Hyosung GT250R is said to be a big in size, according to the standards of 250 cc segment. Experts believe that its white and red colour option draw eyes. However, the designing of GT250R isn’t that modern-looking. Experts believe that GT250R needs a lot of improvement, before it can stand parallel to the standards of Japanese auto maker in the Indian auto market. Also, the price tag of every product does play a key role in determining its success in the Indian market as the buyers here are quite price sensitive.
Honda CBR 250R, on the other hand, has been ergonomically designed, which allows the rider to perform wonders on roads. However, it has 2 negative points, first one being the overall finish and other is its suspension system. Some believe that the first point can be ignored by few, but the second seems an issue. At a price tag of around Rs. 1.75 lakh, Honda CBR 250R seems to be a good package against the Hyosung GT250R.
