HYOSUNG GV250 Aquila (2004-2005) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2004, the South Korean motorcycle maker released the Hyosung GV250, a custom motorcycle part of the second series. Like the 125cc model, the 250cc version was made in two series. The first series was produced from 2000 to 2004, and the second series from 2004.

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.

Unlike the first series, which started in 2000, the second series came with the GV suffix and was different from the first one only in the exhaust department. As opposed to the two-terminal exhaust mufflers of the first series, the second one featured a single silencer.

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.

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.

As for power, the 2004 Hyosung GV250 had installed a 248cc four-stroke V-twin oil/air-cooled engine at its core, boasting 28 hp with maximum strength at 10,000 rpm and 22 Nm (16 lb-ft) torque at 7,500 rpm.
