Hyosung was a South Korean motorcycle manufacturer founded in 1978. It was a division of the Hyosung Group of Industries. In 1979, Hyosung started manufacturing Japanese Suzuki motorcycle designs.
In 2006, the South Korean motorcycle maker released the Hyosung GV250 Aquilla, a custom motorcycle in the third consecutive production year part of the second series that introduced the GV suffix.
The 2006 model year came in the same shape and form as the previous model, delivering the same visual, performance, and technical specifications without any modifications whatsoever.
The bike was made around a double-cradle steel frame that housed the suspension system, which consisted of a 38 mm traditional telescopic fork on the front and dual side-mounted shock absorbers on the rear.
In the braking department, the motorcycle packed a single disc on the front wheel clamped by a dual-piston caliper and a drum braking unit on the rear, offering optimum stopping performance.
As for power, the 2006 Hyosung GV250 Aquila's soul was brought to life by a 248cc four-stroke V-twin oil/air-cooled engine mounted underneath the fuel tank, boasting 28 hp at 10,000 rpm and 22 Nm (16 lb-ft) torque at 7,500 rpm.
The visual department was characterized by standard features, such as a pulled-back handlebar, a teardrop-shaped tank, a two-piece dual seat, side-mounted rear shocks, and 13-spoke alloy wheels.
