HYOSUNG GV250 Aquila (2009-2010) Specs, Performance & Photos

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.

Like previous models, the 2009 Hyosung GV250 Aquila was delivered wearing the same technical, visual, and performance characteristics without any significant changes whatsoever.

It was an entry-level custom cruiser motorcycle perfect for novice riders but also suited the more experienced ones seeking a more agile and fuel-efficient machine that handled both the urban jungle and highway strolls.

The bike's aesthetics were complemented by features such as a wide, pulled-back handlebar, a teardrop-shaped tank, a two-piece dual seat, side-mounted rear shocks, 13-spoke alloy wheels, and a chromed exhaust system.

In the handling department, the bike's double-cradle steel frame housed the suspension system, comprised of a 35 mm traditional telescopic fork on the front with 120 mm of travel and dual side-mounted shock absorbers on the rear with 92 mm wheel travel.

The braking power was achieved by a single brake rotor with a dual-piston caliper mounted on the 16-inch front wheel and a drum braking unit mounted on the 15-inch rear wheel.

Regarding power, the 2009 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. It delivered 28 hp at 10,000 rpm and 22 Nm (16 lb-ft) torque at 7,500 rpm.
