CONCLUSION
The Hyosung GV650 Aquila Pro overall is an extremely capable machine, packing sports-bike performance in cruiser form. The only chink in the Aquila’s armour is the lack of brake bite, but overall it’s a delightful motorcycle. It will put a wide smile on your face every time you take it to the highways and outrun the more expensive cruiser offerings in the market.
It won’t let you down on twisties either provided you keep an eye on the ground clearance. It has the power to get your heart pumping all the way up to its redline, but can also soothe your senses cruising into the horizon on a lazy Sunday morning. No wonder it has been the best seller from the DSK-Hyosung alliance since its launch. Priced at INR 4.99 lacs (ex-showroom, Delhi)- the Hyosung GV650 Aquila Pro offers decent bang for the buck.
