Hyosung Aquila - GV250 (pictures below)
The Hyosung V-twin 250cc
engine was designed in Hamamatsu, Japan by a group of engineers who had
previously worked in the R&D teams of the Japanese motorcycle companies.
Because this engine is the newest design among its rivals, it has many
performance features that they do not have. These include roller bearing
camshafts and dual squelsh combustion chambers. These are features that were
previously confined to racing engines, and in the past have been uneconomical to
incorporate into smaller-capacity engines for street use. Proven DOHC four-valve
per cylinder configuration, with twin downdraft Mikuni carburetors provide the
highest volumetric efficiency and air coupled with an oil cooler provide
reliability in the harshest conditions.

The front brake is a Heavy
duty 275mm solid single disc with fully floating dual piston caliper and long
life brake pads. Ample for a cruiser of larger capacity.
Wide comfort seat with queen seat for pillion
passenger. Low seat height (700mm) for relaxed cruising and ease in traffic for
riders who are not tall
The Aquila is styled to follow timeless traditions and does
not look like a copy cruiser. The many press articles about the Aquila all
testify to its good looks and the fact that the Aquila attracts admirers where ever it goes. In Australia,
4 colour choices are offered; 1)candy apple red/midnight black 2) metallic
silver / midnight black 3) metallic silver / candy apple red 4) midnight black, all with distinctive pin striping.
The fuel tank capacity is
ample for touring (14 litre). The Aquila's
excellect highway performance means you can go touring with the big bikes
without a stop to re-fuel until they do. The Aquila is so capable on the highway (approx 145kms top
speed and approx 350kms fuel range) that you can go touring with the big bikes
without them having to wait for you. A single key operates the ignition, seat
release and steering lock, therefore the steering lock is operated simply by
turning the ignition key to lock position and removing the key ( unlike cheaper
cruisers that have separate keys, and require unlocking the steering in one
position, then finding the ignition key to start the bike in another
position).
The Alloy wheels are spun billet items of the highest
quality and are fitted with wide tubeless tyres (Shinko's). Tubeless tyres are
superior to tyres fitted with tubes (which is why cars are no longer fitted with
tube tyres), and they reduce the impact of a puncture. A motorcycle fitted with
spoked wheels will always suffer a flat tyre from a puncture, not so with
tubeless. Adjustable chrome rear shocks with 5 spring load settings are fitted,
and chrome dual exhausts complement the cruiser with the most chrome in its
class.
