Sporty entry-level motorcycles are very popular on the Asian market. The GPX Demon GR200 has now been launch.
The Thai manufacturer will have to compete with well-known names such as Yamaha, Honda, or Suzuki in the 200cc market in the future. But providers such as CFMoto or Loncin are also pushing more and more into this rapidly growing market.
The GPX Demon is equipped with a liquid-cool 200cc single-cylinder engine that delivers 19 hp and 17.2 Nm and was manufactured in China. Visually, the front is reminiscent of the Yamaha R1 and overall the Demon looks bigger than it really is.
The engine transplants into a tubular space frame that uses the engine as a load-bearing element. LED technology is for lighting. Ready to drive is specified as 155 kg.
The front is damp with a gold anodize upside-down fork and a YSS strut with adjustable preload at the rear. The seat height is 815 mm. The GPX Demon is available on 100/80 17 inch and 140/70 17 inch tires. It’s clear to see that the Demon GR200’s performance figures don’t really do justice to its namesake. However, the bike’s styling certainly does. At a glance, you could be deceiving to think that this bike has more than just a 200cc single-cylinder engine underneath the fairings.
The price is 11,388 Malaysian ringgits, which is the equivalent of about 2775 dollars or 2,300 euros. The GPX makes use of a steel trellis frame and the engine as a stressed member. This setup significantly reduces the bike’s overall weight, tipping the scales at just 155 kg ready to ride
