Awesome Learner Bike

When I first got my Aquila I thought it a was nice big bike. Beautiful to ride and comfortable too.

Not too much to complain about except a couple of small issues, Battery was faulty, front break light faulty, cheap chain needed tightening too much to the extent that I broke my chain guard. Bu...t this was easy to fix and not too costly. So it was easy to overlook.
I got this baby new and in just over a year and a half have almost put 20k on the clock. I commute and take long rides every chance I get. Now I think she is a small bike and can't wait to upgrade. In the beginning she was really efficient on petrol/gas because I was easy on her and was learning to ride. Now I give her hell at the lights and on the freeways so she is a little less efficient. But I still don't fill up anywhere near as much when I had a car.
Over all I think this bike is a great start for the new rider and at such a great price it really can't be beaten on looks, size, comfort, and is reliable (I think mine was just one of those rare ones that do have problems). I just love the confidence that I have gotten from this bike and am glad to have chosen this one to learn on. Read Full Review

LOVE IT

I bought my motorcycle last year. I am a newbie with riding. My husband rides a harley. I love my bike...I can keep up with him except I choose not with high speeds yet till I am more experienced. Love the style. I get many oompliments on it. My only complaint is the seat is very hard...hurts to rid...e longer than 40 miles without stopping. Read Full Review

Ride and comfort

I bought my 2009 Hyosung gv250 two years ago. This has been a surprisingly great deal . There have been no problems at all with the motorcycle . After having back surgery I was a bit worried about riding again . Of course my doctor was against it, but after A short 50 mile test ride I was ready for... the road again. Finding the first ride comfortable in shock absorption and riding position. I have yet to find a single problem with this motorcycle, and have recommended it to quit a few people. If you are looking for a motorcycle with the speed as well as comfort as the more expensive brands , with a much smaller price tag, this is the way to go. Read Full Review

Love my Piglet!

Bought my 2009 GV250 new in Feb 2012 at a great price as a leftover/closeout! Love the bike! It's my first bike and a great one to learn on. I ride almost everyday commuting to work. The Piglet even does well keeping up with my big Hog buddies on weekends for great rides through the Texas hill-c...ountry. Consistently gets between 60-62 mpg and no mechanical trouble of any kind. Only two minor discomforts: the seat and brakes. The passenger seat sits a big forward and bites into my back side; but I've removed the passenger seat and now it's very comfortable - even on the long hill country rides. The brakes are effective, but they tend to squeek if there's any moisture in the air. Other than that it's a pleasure to own and ride. I get a lot of looks and many have stopped me to ask me what it is or what size it is. No one can believe it's a 250...doesn't ride like a 250 either. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great starter bike, or just looking for an inexpensive way to commute and have a great time for little money! Read Full Review
