HYOSUNG GV250 Aquila (2016-Present) 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.

In 2016, the South Korean motorcycle manufacturer released the Hyosung GV250, a custom motorcycle that debuted in 2000. The 2016 model year had the same characteristics as the previous one without significant changes.

Compared to earlier models, the 2014 version packed a new fuel injection system, an improved exhaust system, upgraded side and air cleaner covers, an in-tank fuel pump, a lowered handlebar, a longer front fork, an oil cooler, and a larger fuel tank.

Standard features included a round headlight up front, a stylish fuel tank, a two-piece dual seat, a two-into-one chromed exhaust system, valanced fenders, and six-spoke aluminum alloy wheels.

In addition to the standard fittings, the bike was available with optional accessories, such as a backrest, side-mounted saddlebags, a tall windscreen, footboards, a center stand kit, fog lamps, an accessory muffler, and a rear luggage rack.

A 41 mm conventional telescopic fork on the front and dual preload-adjustable shocks on the rear set the riding characteristics, which provided excellent handling.

In the performance department, the 2016 Hyosung GV250 had installed a 249cc four-stroke V-twin air/oil-cooled engine, boasting 24 hp with a peak force at 9,000 rpm and 22 Nm (16 lb-ft) torque at 7,000 rpm.
