HYOSUNG GV650 Aquila (2009-2010) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2009, the South Korean motorcycle maker released the Hyosung GV650 Aquila, a custom motorcycle made in three displacements. The GV650 was the largest displacement model in the range. It was presented in 2005 and released into the cruiser world in January 2006.

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.

The motorcycle was constructed around a double-pipe steel frame with a 41 mm inverted telescopic fork on the front and dual side-mounted shock absorbers on the rear, offering excellent riding characteristics.

Two 300 mm brake discs mounted on the front with two-piston calipers and a 270 mm brake disc mounted on the rear with a dual-piston caliper achieved the braking performance.

It had the same characteristics as the previous one and packed standard features, such as a round headlight integrated into a chromed housing, a stylish fuel tank, a one-piece dual seat, side-mounted shocks, a two-into-one chromed exhaust system, and three-spoke aluminum wheels.

Performance-wise, the 2009 Hyosung GV650 Aquila had installed a 647cc liquid-cooled four-stroke V-twin engine that delivered 81 hp at 9,000 rpm and 67 Nm (49 lb-ft) torque at 7,250 rpm. The engine was assisted by a five-speed transmission with a belt final drive.
