Hyosung Naked 125 review
The overdog

About twenty years ago, as one
Yamaha RD 80 guaranteed the highest towing rates in the schoolyards would be the existence of the Hyosung Naked 125
hit as bombastic as the landing of a UFO. Have the times
has changed. Toxic 125cc World Cup replicas are now part of the street scene, the entry-level market is more competitive than ever. So it is not surprising that the undisguised 125cc Hyosung does not differ from a full-blown motorcycle at first glance. The cool-finned, air-cooled V-engine is coming
visually strong and arouses Ducati fantasies, 790 millimeters seat height, 1445 millimeters wheelbase ?? ten more than the 650 Hyosung ?? and the beefy 17-
Liter tanks indicate that the eight-liter machine wants to be taken seriously.
Nothing against adult dimensions. When they harmonize. In terms of ergonomics, however, the Koreans could use some tutoring. No matter who sits on it, short or long, the knee angle is too narrow, the handlebars too far away, the footrests a tad too high and too far forward, the gear lever too close to the foot. Thank God you can get used to everything.
For example, the performance characteristics of the 75-degree V engine. Two cylinders, four camshafts, eight valves ?? 14.4 hp at 11,000 rpm. How does that feel? Even for 125 cc standards, less than 6000 rpm is far too little. No starting
at traffic lights, no strolling through the countryside. After that the engine shows like this
something like subdued euphoria. Those who rely on feeling are mostly on the move between 9000 and 12000 rpm. Sometimes gets annoyed about the hooked gears, is happy about the smooth clutch and toggles happily around in the red area,
which starts at 11000 rpm, this is exactly where the nominal power is available.
The organ barrel can also be seen positively. Because the motor works incredibly smoothly and almost vibration-free
over the whole area. Who it really is
want to know, will eventually reach 110 km / h. It takes 25.3 seconds to reach a real 100 km / h. The easily readable speedometer then reports 105. The question remains:
Can the brakes withstand these storms? Not quite. Both front and rear, a double-piston floating caliper fights to reduce speed. Dosage and effect fell behind, in front you have to grab a lot. And witness how the fork with its 35 mm stand tube warps. But it can also do more. Namely stuck away.
The chassis tuning is overall
as a commodity. Almost too comfortable. There is hardly any damping, suspension predominates. When it gets really bumpy, the 125 cc tramples, jumps and hops cheerfully over the asphalt. It acknowledges bumps in bends with slight tilting and pendulum movements. But both steering behavior and handiness are
at a high level and result from
the following mix: wide handlebars, narrow tires, 172 kilograms.
The key question remains: 3540 euros? is it worth it? Looked at soberly. The two-wheeler feeling is right, the equipment is great. However, the processing quality and light output could be better. A throttle kit is available for 69 euros
available at 80 km / h ?? for 16 year olds to test the towing factor. rh
