Hyosung GV650 Aquila Pro Review: Chubby Hustler

CONCLUSION

Hyosung Acquila Pro 650 India (25)

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.

  1. After over 10,000 miles on my 2008 Hyosung GV650, I saw another bike that I thought was beautiful. But, when I checked the price vs. value- I couldn’t see it. The problem with the GV650 is that it’s so good, other midsized cruisers just don’t offer a similar value. All are heavier, have lower HP and similar torque when compared to weight, and they all lack amenities. Now, I’ve already installed hard bags, a windshield, etc… so, my Avitar (former name) is ‘properly set up’ for grabbing milk, or, taking a long trip. Most people ask me if it’s a V-Rod, but, everyone likes the overall look, which is a little unusual when compared to traditional cruisers. I have had zero issues, so, dependable can be used in the same sentence without fear. So, dollar smart is the answer. Also, my brakes, although slightly wooden, are better now that they are broken in. I could change compounds for $15.00 and install braided stainless steel lines, but, I haven’t seen the need. Great bike- new or used, although the rear suspension is a little short for rough roads…
