Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production started year: 2016
The motor division of Hyosung Industries has changed hands a number of times since it started building bikes for Suzuki back in ’78, and is now under the KR Motors banner producing bikes meant for the U.S. entry-level market as well as its traditional Asian and European territory. Since the new owners are making a concerted push to expand their toehold in the American market, I decided to take a look at some of the products from this little-known (in the West) manufacturer, and the GV250 Aquila, Hyosung’s little pocket-cruiser model, seemed like a good place to start. Join me while I dissect this Korean concoction like a kimchi/bbq wrap, and see what Hyosung has going on over there
