Positioned in Hyosung's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2008 Hyosung GV650 relies on a 647 cc (39.5 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant.
On the scales, the GV650 measures 200 kg (441 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 705 mm (27.8 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,665 mm (65.6 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 17-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
