What’s new are the sporty graphics and styling in eye catching hurricane yellow. Every GT250R LE will have the names of their proud owners etched. The Signature edition, of which only 50 units will be manufactured, has been floated to mark the first anniversary of DSK Motowheels’ HY Ryders club.

The Limited edition “Big Boy” is powered by a V twin-cylinder and oil cooled 4-stroke engine mated to 6-speed transmission that produces a maximum power of 27.6 BHP at 10,000 rpm and peak torque of 22.07Nm at 8,000 rpm.

The GT250 R LE will be made available through select dealerships in the country. Branded merchandise is also being offered with the signature bike.
