Our Verdict

Expert opinion and recommendation

The Hyosung Aquila 250 is a compelling option for those looking for a cruiser motorcycle in the Indian market. While it may not be perfect, it checks all the right boxes for cruiser enthusiasts. The bikes design is stunning, with a timeless cruiser styling that includes a low-set saddle, a large tank, and ample chrome accents, making it a head-turner on the roads. The V-twin engine, though not exceptionally powerful, delivers adequate performance for cruising at speeds of 90-100 kmph, and the five-speed manual gearbox offers smooth gearshifts. However, the engines fuelling can be a bit snatchy, and vibrations are noticeable past 7000 RPM. The ride quality, while manageable, could be better, especially at higher speeds. Despite these flaws, the Aquila 250 is well put-together, easy to ride, and offers a unique blend of style and performance that sets it apart from other bikes in its segment.

Hyosung Aquila 250 is too expensive

Classic cruiser

Summary

It has been almost a decade when the Hyosung Aquila 250 was introduced in India. It's first version was launched in 2003. I am riding this bike from last one year. It is an amazing bike with real cruiser feel. It has front disc brakes but, on the rear side it lacks disc brakes which is little disappointing. Apart from that it gives good performance as its engine is very powerful. At low speeds Aquila returns 33.2kmpl on the highway and 28.7kmpl in the city giving it an overall figure of 29.8kmpl – a fair figure for a 250cc twin. It has limited service outlets so, I face problem while going for service sessions.

Cruiser with Modern Appeal

Summary

Well! My dad gifted me this machine on my b'day. And from the day first I fell in love with it. I feel royal when I ride it.

Well! My dad gifted me this machine on my b'day. And from the day first I fell in love with it. I feel royal when I ride it. Its low handle bar and perfect riding posture make it comfortable ride for the long distance. My friends got tired sometimes (who are using other bikes ) when we are on long tour but I always get ready with my machine to ride more. Thanks to company engineers who did a great job. So if you are thinking to purchase it go for it. Just take first ride before bringing it to home.

My Dream Machine

Summary

The cruiser looks muscular and has great road presence. The paint work is amazing. It is perfect for smooth and long roads.

The cruiser looks muscular and has great road presence. The paint work is amazing. It is perfect for smooth and long roads. It is a comfortable bike where you can expect perfect riding posture. The clutch and gearbox are smooth and precise and a good option for buyers searching for a cruiser which is easy to maintain, has adequate performance and fits their limited budget. The suspension is terrible and adjusting it makes the ride quality worse. The braking system is weak and can create some problem while stopping it. Another problem is that the engine starts making sound while crossing 100 kmph speed.

Hyosung is one of the leading and popular Korean motorcycle manufacturers, since 1978. The company has launched the GV250 Aquila at the 2014 Auto Expo in Delhi. Let’s try to know what to expect from this Korean cruiser.

Design and Style

The Hyosung GV250 Aquila has got certain remarkable updates. This macho, hefty Aquila motorcycle turns heads wherever it goes. The front features a chrome finished halogen headlight which provides a good visibility at night, with a pair of gills sitting on either side under the headlamp posing as air ducts. The mirrors, grips and switchgear, present on the handlebar gives it an adequate feeling. The chunky fuel tank bearing the logos of EFI enhances the macho profile of this cruiser. The low, split seats with a red border imparts a royal and rich look to the motorcycle. A retro style taillight with clear lens indicators is equipped at the front as well as rear. A much nicer single and oversized chrome collector exhaust goes well with the cruiser look. The large, chunky alloy wheels enhance the side profile of this retro styling motorcycle.

Dimensions and Fuel Tank Capacity

The GV250 Aquila comes with a length of 2282 mm, width of 875 mm and a height of 1096 mm as its dimensions along with a weight of 179 Kg. The cruiser has a fuel tank capacity of 14-litres.

Instrument Console

This amazing cruiser features chrome fitted, analogue instrument console that includes a digital speedometer, digital fuel gauge, digital dual trip-meters and an analogue tachometer. It also bears indicators for low fuel and low oil.

Engine and Gearbox

The GV250 Aquila is powered by a 249cc, 4-stroke, 8 valve, 2 cylinders, air cooled, DOHC engine which generates a peak power of 26.21 bhp at 9500 rpm with utmost torque of 21.37 Nm at 7000 rpm. The engine is mated to a 5-speed constant mesh transmission which works in a 1-up and 4-down pattern. It can reach a top speed of 120.2 kmph.

Mileage

When tested under standard conditions, the bike delivers a mileage of 33.2 kmpl on highways and returns to 28.7 kmpl in the city. Overall, it offers an average figure of 29.8 kmpl.

Brakes and Suspension

The GV250 Aquila is fitted with hydraulic disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear which are quite strong and effective. The suspension duties are handled by inverted forks at the front and hydraulic shock absorbers with steel swing arms are placed at the back.

Ride and Handling

The motorcycle offers you a comfortable and pleasant ride. The low seating manages the taller as well as shorter heights well. At the front, it has a tyre size of 110/90-16 59S and a 150/80-15M/C mm is given at the rear end. The bike has an extended wheelbase of 1515 mm and a ground clearance of 155 mm.
