Tairong Motor has launched the new
GP1-250R fully-faired motorcycle in China. The twin-cylinder quarter-litre bike
is available in two variants starting at CNY 15,980 which converts to INR
1,70,473.
The Tairong GP1-250R has a very sporty
design which should attract many young buyers. It features an aggressive front
end thanks to the stylish full-LED headlamps. The aerodynamically designed
fairing is functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. The GP1-250R comes
with clip-on handlebars, but the riding stance isn’t too aggressive. This has
been deliberately done by the company so that the 250 cc motorbike can be used
easily for daily riding or commuting.
The Tairong GP1-250R has a fully-digital
and fully-colour instrument cluster which enhances the overall riding
experience. Also, the split seats are sporty to look and provide a good amount
of comfort as well. The side-mounted exhaust on the GP1-250R gels with the
bike’s character. It is a dual-barrel unit.
