    I purchased this bike used from a private seller for a steal $1,500. It's a 2008 model and I use it on my daily commute right in the thick of Dallas traffic. I ride it 50 miles everyday to and from work. The bike keeps up totally fine with traffic. I get on the HOV lane and keep up with traffic on ...

    I love this bike . handling, acceleration, braking, it has it all. This Bike also has great looks to go with it so in my opinion the GV250 Aquila "IS" the Total package as far as 250cc Cruiser motorcycles go.

    I purchased my Hyosung in July. I have ridden over 5K. I ride on all types of highways, streets and speeds. I have had very few problems. I had to replace the chain due to stretching and the clock on my speedomitoer needed replacing. In my opinion it is a fantastic buy for the money. Sure, the chrome ...

  • Piece of junk
    By  (I am an Owner) on Sep 25, 2008

    The motorcycle was in the shop for 45 day out of 90 day that it was riding it.

The bike would be a good starter bike it ...
