Hyosung GV 650 Aquila - GV 650 Cruiser
2007
2007
The 2007 Hyosung GV 650 Aquila, also known as the GV 650 Cruiser, entered the market as a strong contender in the mid-size cruiser category. It aimed to offer an alternative to established Japanese and American brands, competing directly with models like the Suzuki Boulevard S40 and Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic. This model year saw Hyosung solidifying its presence by providing a more affordable entry point into the cruiser segment, appealing to riders seeking classic aesthetics and a manageable riding experience.
At the heart of the GV 650 lies a 647.0 ccm (39.48 cubic inches) V-twin engine. This powerplant generates a respectable 69.7 HP (50.9 kW) at 9000 RPM, providing ample power for confident acceleration and cruising. The engine also produces a healthy 62.0 Nm (6.3 kgf-m or 45.7 ft.lbs) of torque at 7000 RPM, contributing to its responsive feel. This allows the motorcycle to achieve a top speed of 195.0 km/h (121.2 mph). With a dry weight of 230.0 kg (507.1 pounds) the power to weight ratio allows for a pleasurable ride. It has a fuel capacity of 16.00 litres (4.23 US gallons) allowing for longer trips.
The GV 650 Aquila offers a low-slung riding position typical of cruisers. The seat height of 690 mm (27.2 inches) makes it accessible for a wide range of riders, contributing to rider confidence at stops and during low-speed maneuvers. The cruiser ergonomics, with forward-set footpegs and a comfortable reach to the handlebars, provide a relaxed posture suitable for longer rides. The suspension is tuned to absorb bumps effectively, offering a reasonably smooth ride, although some riders may find it slightly firm on particularly rough surfaces.
The 2007 Hyosung GV 650 Aquila/Cruiser is targeted towards riders seeking an affordable and stylish entry into the cruiser world. It appeals to those who appreciate the classic cruiser look and the v-twin rumble without the hefty price tag often associated with larger displacement models. While not the most refined or powerful cruiser on the market, it offers a solid package for beginner and intermediate riders looking for a comfortable and manageable machine. The GV 650 Aquila is a sensible choice for those prioritizing value and style in their cruiser experience.
