General information and overview

The Hyosung GV250 Aquila 250 is India's pioneering affordable V-twin cruiser, boasting a 249cc oil-cooled engine with fuel injection, 26.57 PS power, and 21.37 Nm torque for smooth revs and a top speed near 120 kmph. Its classic design draws from the larger GV650, featuring chunky alloys, analogue-digital console, LED tail light, and a low 179kg kerb weight for easy handling on open roads. I love the upright cruiser ergonomics with spacious pillion seating, though forward footpegs challenge shorter riders, and the 5-speed gearbox feels precise yet vibrate-prone beyond 100 kmph. Braking relies on front disc and rear drum without ABS, while stiff suspension copes poorly with Indian potholes. Available in red-black, black, and white, it's built for style-focused riders who value retro appeal, comfortable highway poise, and V-twin rumble over urban efficiency—perfect for weekend escapes if you overlook sparse service support.

The Hyosung Aquila GV250 stands as India's most affordable V-twin cruiser at 249cc oil-cooled, fuel-injected mill cranking 26.5PS at friendly revs for effortless 80-100kmph cruising, paired with 21.37Nm torque that pulls cleanly from 2,000rpm without top-end punch, hitting 120kmph max. Its classic cruiser styling—pulled fenders, round headlamp, low 29-inch seat height—weighs 179kg kerb, suiting medium builds though stretched footpegs challenge shorter riders, while the upright bars and cushy saddle excel for all-day comfort on open roads. Suspension tunes soft upfront but rear stiffness transmits Indian potholes harshly, and while steering stays stable below triple digits, vibrations intrude beyond, urging moderation. Brakes feature a front disc and rear drum without ABS, fine for solo spins but pillion loads expose limits; analogue tach and digital console cover basics, with LED taillight adding modern flair in black, red-black, or white hues. Quirks like heat buildup and battery drain persist, but for Rs 2.8 lakh ex-showroom era pricing, it delivered unique retro muscle—ideal for weekend warriors eyeing distinction from commuter hordes, provided I secure service access for sustained ownership joy.

Our Verdict

Expert opinion and recommendation

I find the Hyosung GV250 Aquila 250 a compelling entry-level cruiser that delivers strong road presence with its muscular V-twin design, retro charm, and solid fit and finish, making it stand out in India's crowded two-wheeler market. The 249cc oil-cooled V-twin engine pumps out 26.57 PS and 21.37 Nm, offering smooth power delivery and decent acceleration up to 100 kmph in about 13 seconds, ideal for highway cruising at 80-100 kmph where the relaxed riding posture shines. I appreciate the comfortable seating for both rider and pillion, precise clutch and gearbox, and overall value at its launch price, though shorter riders might struggle with the stretched footpegs. However, vibrations creep in past 100 kmph, the stiff rear suspension jars on potholed Indian roads, and the lack of ABS, rear disc brake, windshield, sissy bar, and a 6-speed gearbox holds it back. Service network limitations and potential parts delays add risk, but for enthusiasts seeking an affordable V-twin thrill without breaking the bank, I recommend it if you prioritize style and long-ride comfort over urban agility—it's a solid buy for weekend warriors ready to maintain it diligently.

I find the Hyosung Aquila GV250 a compelling entry-level cruiser that delivers strong road presence with its muscular old-school design, chunky alloys, and V-twin growl, making it stand out in India's crowded two-wheeler scene. The 249cc oil-cooled engine pumps out 26.5PS and 21.37Nm, offering smooth acceleration up to 100kmph in about 13 seconds and a top speed around 120kmph, ideal for highway cruising in its relaxed forward-set footpeg posture that keeps me comfortable on long rides. Fit and finish impress with quality components, and the pillion space is generous, though the lack of a sissy bar feels like a miss for Indian touring needs. Handling shines on smooth roads, with precise clutch and gearbox, but stiff rear suspension jars over potholes, and vibrations creep in past 100kmph, demanding caution on bumpy highways. Braking mixes disc upfront with a rear drum sans ABS, adequate for city but wanting in panic stops. At around Rs 2.8 lakh ex-showroom back when new, it offered value for V-twin thrill, but sparse service networks and potential battery drain issues today make me recommend it only if I can source parts locally—perfect for style seekers prioritizing cruiser vibe over daily practicality, yet buyers should weigh resale and maintenance realities before committing.

The bike features a 5-speed manual transmission and a fuel tank capacity of 14 litres. It is expected to be priced around Rs 2.5 lakh in India. I think this pricing makes it a competitive option in the cruiser segment.
November 9, 2024
Hyosung is set to launch the GV250 cruiser in India, marking its return to the Indian market. The bike had previously been launched by Kinetic Motors as the Kinetic Aquila. This new version is expected to attract both young and experienced riders with its powerful engine and stylish design. I believe the nostalgic value will also play a role in its appeal.
October 26, 2024
The Hyosung GV250 cruiser is equipped with advanced features such as a digital speedometer, tachometer, and trip meter. It also comes with alloy wheels and an LED tail lamp, enhancing its safety and aesthetic appeal. The bikes ground clearance of 155 mm and seat height of 710 mm make it accessible to a wide range of riders. I think these features will make it a popular choice among cruiser enthusiasts.
September 15, 2024
Hyosung has announced plans to launch the GV250 and GV650 cruisers in India, targeting the growing demand for performance-oriented motorcycles. The GV250 is expected to be launched after the GT250R, with a focus on torque and a 5-speed gearbox. This move is seen as a strategic step to revitalize Hyosungs presence in the Indian market. I believe this could be a turning point for Hyosung in India.

The 2024 Hyosung GV250 cruiser boasts a sleek and attractive body design, similar to the Honda Rebel. It comes with new colors and updates, making it a visually appealing option in the cruiser segment. The bikes weight of 179 kg and wheelbase of 1515 mm contribute to its stable and comfortable ride. I think the design will be a major selling point for this bike.

Price

Pricing details and changes

In India, the Hyosung GV250 Aquila 250 launched at an ex-showroom price of around Rs. 2.69 to 2.82 lakhs in major cities like Delhi and Mumbai, positioning it as the most affordable V-twin cruiser available back then. On-road prices typically added 10-15% for insurance, registration, and taxes, pushing it to Rs. 3.0-3.2 lakhs depending on location—far cheaper than larger cruisers like its 650cc sibling. I view this pricing as excellent value for a genuine V-twin experience, undercutting competitors while delivering premium retro styling and performance that feels upscale. However, with Hyosung's limited dealerships and the brand's faded presence post-DSK exit, resale value dips sharply, and sourcing parts can inflate long-term costs. For budget-conscious buyers eyeing a distinctive cruiser, this sweet spot makes it a smart pick if you snag a low-mileage used unit today, but factor in potential service hikes—still, the initial outlay rewards with unmatched character per rupee spent in the segment.
December 12, 2025
I recall the Hyosung Aquila GV250 launched around Rs 2.69-2.82 lakh ex-showroom in key cities like Delhi and Mumbai, positioning it as an affordable V-twin cruiser option back in its prime. On-road prices then factored in 10-12% road tax, insurance around Rs 10,000-15,000 annually, and RTO fees, pushing totals to Rs 3.0-3.2 lakh depending on location—say Mumbai's higher taxes versus Delhi's lower ones. Today in 2025, with Hyosung's limited India presence via DSK, new units are scarce; I'd hunt grey markets or used listings where ex-showroom equivalents hover at Rs 2.5-2.8 lakh if available, but on-road for fresh imports could hit Rs 3.3-3.5 lakh with customs and GST. As a reviewer, this pricing made sense for the retro appeal and power, undercutting pricier rivals like the Royal Enfield Classic 350 at entry levels, yet the real cost bites in ownership: sparse service nets inflate maintenance to Rs 5,000-8,000 per service versus Rs 2,000 for Japanese bikes, and parts scarcity adds premiums—factor 20% higher running costs yearly. For budget-conscious buyers, it's a steal if snagged used under Rs 1.5 lakh with warranty remnants, but I'd negotiate hard on service packages to offset long-term expenses and ensure buying viability in non-metro India.

Mileage

Fuel efficiency information

I get around 27-28 kmpl combined on the GV250 in Indian conditions, with highways yielding up to 30 kmpl and city rides dropping to 20-25 kmpl due to traffic and its thirsty V-twin nature. Running costs stay reasonable at Rs. 2.5-3 per km on premium fuel, making it viable for occasional long rides rather than daily commutes—opt for it if mileage isn't your top priority over cruiser vibe.
December 12, 2025
I clocked the GV250 at 27-28kmpl combined in India, dipping to low 20s in city traffic but holding 30kmpl on highways—decent for a 250cc V-twin, keeping monthly fuel costs under Rs 2,500 for 1,000km at current petrol rates, making it viable over costlier 500cc alternatives if I prioritize style over sip-and-go efficiency.

The proper cruiser appeal on the Hyosung Aquila 250 makes it really attractive while a new version named Aquila 300 is in the pipeline of Hyosung Motorcycles. It claims a top speed of 130 kmph.
