DSK Motowheels has updated the Hyosung GT250R with revised styling elements to make it look more like it's older sibling, the GT650R, and to give it some fresh appeal in the increasingly popular quarter-litre motorcycle space.
 
The only thing that makes the GT250R stand out from the GT650R is the chrome-finished exhaust system; the 650 gets a matte black finished exhaust instead. On the technical front though, the GT250R remains unchanged, powered by the same four-stroke, 249cc, oil-cooled V-Twin engine. It continues to produce 28bhp at 10,000rpm, with a peak torque output of 2.2kgm at 8,000rpm, and it's mated to a five-speed gearbox.
 
Bookings for the 2014 Hyosung GT250R have commenced, and the motorcycle is available for Rs 2.75 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
