Hyosung GV125V Aquila

Another Far-Eastern Cruiser with plenty of style, well finished and the V-twin engine’s a nice change from the usual singles on this size bike. Well worth a look!

Review from Cathy Swanson: Having encouraged my husband to return to biking last May and riding pillion with him, I decided that at the grand old age of 45 I ought to learn to ride myself. So with his encouragement I did the CBT in October (2003) and set about looking for a bike. Three weeks later I found my self the proud owner of a Hyosung Aquila 125cc V-Twin which was only four months old and cost me under £2000!
I have to say that I am absolutely delighted with it. Despite the fact that it is quite heavy (for me), it is really easy to ride and it handles well too, even when doing a turn in the road with both feet up! It has a lovely light clutch and a smooth gear box and most importantly a great big comfy seat for my rather ample rear end!! It’s also a very pretty bike which gets lots of attention whenever I park it, most people seem to think it’s a much bigger bike than it is ( until they see the L Plates ). So far I havn’t had any mechanical problems with it ( except when I forgot to turn on the fuel tap and it stopped at the end of the road. Very embarrassing). The only real problem I have is keeping my husband’s hands off it,as he has a 54 year old BSA which is a lovely bike but not really suitable for riding in the winter. I am looking forward to the better weather when we can cruise through the New Forest together and to passing my test and I have no regrets about buying a bike that most people have never heard of as it suits me perfectly.
