Positioned in Hyosung's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2001 Hyosung GV 250 Aquila features a 248 cc (15.1 cu in) v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 28 HP (20.4 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 112.9 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the GV 250 Aquila measures 160 kg (353 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.18 HP/kg (5.71 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 690 mm (27.2 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,490 mm (58.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure.
