- We review the new Hyosung Aquila GV125S Grand Voyage V-Twin motorcycle.
This learner legal 125cc bike is a proper bobber style V-Twin motorbike!
Find out how it goes, what it sounds like, how fast it goes, how it handles, and whether we would recommend it.
One thing is for sure - it looks pretty darn cool! What do you think?
If you are considering buying a 125cc motorbike, this video is definately for you! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Great review guys. I like the bike, I too think it's a good starter bike. A 125 in a bobber style, that's great. Wouldn't hesitate in buying and riding it for daily commute. Ride safe, cheers!
Tony Thanks bro! It’s so cool and after riding a Harley or Triumph, so light!
You know, I really appreciate your low key style. The back and forth between the older generation and younger set is very unique and helpful. You guys have a style all your own and I look forward to more vids and motorcycle content.
Awesome! Thank you! We have lots more to come after the lockdown! A new video coming later today as well. Make sure to subscribe and set notifications.
Thank you so much for the honest review and video guys.
A very fair and accurate review. I am in my late fifties and bought one of these for a year to get myself back into biking. I LOVE it. It has a size and presence that most 125's lack, it's a chunky, really attractive machine which is larger than almost any other 125. I'm 5'11", and the bike is comfortable. The V-power delivery is amazingly smooth, forgiving and relaxing; a friend of mine has a Honda 125 and it feels like riding a hairdryer compared with the Hyosung. It's well made, too -- much better than most rattly Chinese 125's -- Hyosung is a big engineering concern in South Korea, land of KIA, Hyundai and Samsung. I love the bike and highly recommend it. I'll be trading it in soon for something bigger, but I will look back nostalgically on my year with this lovely, solid-feeling bike.
Hi I Live in Spain and I'm 70 Years of age this year I Brought my Bike a Year ago and after a year of Riding my Bike Most Days as we have with Great Weather all year round The Bike has Preformed Excellent Christmas Time I Treated myself to some Saddle Bags from The Indian Motorcycles shop So I Resprayed the Tank with The Indian Scout Bobber Badge This Bike Has Turned Head's and Is Great for Parking and Going to the Shops.
Also with Disc Breaking Front and Rear that Break at the Same Time, An Excellent Bike for me as For the Speed Well I Just Like to Cruise at about 40 to 50 miles an Hour that way I can take it easy and Enjoy the Ride. And that's the Reason to write this Review ( ENJOY THE RIDE ) A great Bike and a Good honest Review many thanks.
Dave Hutton Thanks Dave! Great to hear your still riding at 70, and I agree it’s not all about speed. It seems that more people ride in Spain than in the UK. Would you say thats true?
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Hi Guys, One thing I Forgot to mention, That When I Brought my Bike I Had Two Seats a Single and Double, So off came the Double and on went the Single (true Bobber Style ) The reason more people ride a bike in Spain Is Simple Less Traffic and the Weather also the Roads are Great not like The UK with all the Potholes.
I Lived on the Isle of Wight and the Roads are really Bad.
I moved to Spain about Six years ago and as I'm Retired I've got plenty of time to pursue my Passion s Carp fishing, and I'm a Artist ( I'm a Pin up Artist , Sexy Lady's )
I'm Painting All the Masters for myself Between Commission's ( Caravaggio ,Rembrandt, Dali, and Constable ) Etc Etc.
I think I'm going on a Bit , Thanks for the contact, Best wishes and Stay Safe.
Dave.
Dave Hutton OK interesting. The UK seem to think that they are better than everyone else (I’m not of that opinion), and yes nice weather certainly helps!
I hope you have a good supply of live models for the art! 😁
That’s a gorgeous looking bike! Great review as always chaps.
Yes isn’t it cool! Thanks for your support!
Great review thanks, just clocked this as I’m in the market for a 125 having just passed my CBT on a frosty Friday, riding in -2 with ice on the road…. 😬 . This has really caught my eye for the price as I was looking at Mutt, AJS and FB Mondial…. All handsome bikes but this is a mini 883 Harley lol and I love it ! Cheers 👍🍻
I'm looking at this bike for a possible first possible bike. great review and it really really help. I'm not a bike person and I'm looking at getting into it. great video to help me out
Have a look at Royal Enfield. They make far better bikes
I just bought this bike and i have to say its the most comfort bike ive ever driven. im 6,6 feet and on every sport bike my back hurts after 15 minutes but not on this one. Thanks for the great review.
Elseworld That is good! I agree; sports bikes are very in comfortable because you have to crank your neck up to see where you are going. Have a look at our Husqvarna Svartpilen video. I mention this point
Great video, loved the content! Keep up the good work!
very good and highly practical, informative review of rhis fantastic new machine.....well done !!
Thank you Andrew 👍
Nice looking bike. I do like how a lot of today's 125cc bikes look bigger than they actually are. I currently own a cb125r 18 plate. Well happy with it. Going to give it a year before I do my a2 .. I think my limits are 47bhp bikes.
I LOVE THIS BIKE and this video!
Really enjoyed this review 👍
Jo Jo Ahh thanks that’s great! It’s such a lovely bike!
Brilliant review, would love to see you guys review the keeway v-cruise 125cc and the UM renegade freedom 125cc.
Thanks for the video. Whole my respect from Turkey
This is going to be my First ever motorcycle. In Germany we can already drive 125 with the age of 16 and when I First saw this bike I knew this one will be it.
Great Review

OK great 💯👍🏼
great review
Thanks you 👍
Good looking machine. Reminds me of Honda's Rebel 300 and 500.
theartist Diamond Yes it’s a good looker and yes you’re right!
Wow!! It looks much more than a 125cc 😮😮😍
It does, although it doesn’t go more than one!
... as you both suggest, that does indeed look like a H-D 125 👍👍👍🏍💥💨
devCo.ltd Yes it really does! It’s what Harley-Davidson should be making instead of the horrid 750 thing
Does look awesome!
awesome video
Thanks very much 👍🏼
I'm glad I came across your chanel, you do great reviews. I. Looking for a first bike and I'm torn between this and the sinnis hoodlum. Which of the two do you guys favour? Thanks.
Thanks buddy.
They’re both great! I guess it’s down to the best deal you can get 👍🏼
Great video! the part where you talked about the exhaust, would you know any exhausts that could fit onto this bike? Im completely new to bikes and dont know where to look 🙏
Possibly the Toro exhausts but we don’t know much about this bikes aftermarket parts
The hyosung aquila from 2001 looks pretty cool
Yes, maybe a bit too much on it for weight ??
Fine bike, I rode one for a couple of years and she never let me down and build quality was as nice - even the plastics were far superior than what you see on chineese bikes!
Have you guys given the Motorini Box 125i a look? Haven't seen a review of one yet, looks pretty funky for a cruiser with a 125 parallel twin!
No we haven’t been in touch with Motorini. Maybe we could give them a call 👍🏼
Thought we were gonna get him spitting bars when that beat dropped
Haha 💪🏻👍🏼
I can’t help but wonder how Hyosung can still make a cracking V twin 125 and get it through euro4 emmisions and the other manufacturers can’t. We all know the answer: it’s all about cost and most people move on from the learner legal bikes fairly sharpish. What if though Hyosung changed that engine around a little, made it a long stroke V twin 125 tuned more for a steady 50-55 mph without having to ring its neck everywhere. Surely then you would appeal to young and old. A torquey great sounding 125 which actually feels relaxed at those speeds. Get to work Hyosung. You’ve got a gap in the market to fill and with that combination you’ll smash it out the park!
Just my thoughts
Scoots
Scooty Man Yes good points. It doesn’t sound like a v-twin and theres no grunt low down, but I think derestricted it would go a lot better
My honda varadero 125 is a v twin, fantastic bike
I fully agree. I have been riding single-cylinder 125 CC bikes while in Asia and the Varadero 125 while not more powerful or faster run so much smoother.
Love this review, out of interest will you be doing the keeway RKV125?
It is not a brand we can get hold of
Hello Sir , a great review again Although I really like this bike but it looks a bit small. Could you tell me if its the same size like a Suzuki Marauder, Intruder 125 or a Yamaha Dragstar 125. I am 188cm been looking for a decent size 125 for quite a while
Thanks buddy. Yes it’s about the same size 👍🏼
That is a very detailed review. I have actually never heard of Hyosung Aquila. Is is a popular brand in the UK? And hows the reliability?
Thanks Dennis. It's relatively new in the UK and we haven't heard about any reliability issues.
STAY AWAY
Great review chaps..one quick question. Looking at getting 125 bike. Never had gears before..actually for a1 licence but did on auto scooter few years back. Question us has it got gear indicator or wouod I need aftermarket one
Many thanks.
Thank you ! Gosh I can't remember to be honest. I'm sure if you message Hyosung via their website they would be able to say. It's not vital though, You soon know what gear your in and its only top gear sometimes you go for another gear, only to find you are already there - no harm done - i do it all the time!
It's doesn't have a gear indicator
Hey there, I have a question: what are the measurements / dimensions of the license plate? Would mine, which is 18 centimeters in width, be too large?
Thank you 🙏
Hi its 23cm x 18cm! On my Harley I've got a 15cm x 10cm. Not legal but 500% safer!
Great review gents and thanks for all the info. I’m 36 and haven’t rode a bike since I was a teenager. I have been driving since 17 but was thinking of getting a bike. My thoughts were get a 125 for a year or so see how I like it and then do a full test? What bike would you recommend and is someone my age on a 125 a bit s**t or the sensible thing to do??
Thanks buddy! Good idea to work your way up. 125’s are pretty gutless yet can be good fun if they’re not too heavy. Unless you take the A2 or A license it’s your only option anyway with the law as it is (written by idiots!)
@@MrDarcy-OlMan yeah agree I didn’t know if I should just have some lessons and go straight to big bike or get some road experience. Don’t see the point in A2 etc at my age. Should have done my test years ago but took me till now to think I’m responsible and sensible enough not to kill myself lol.
Are there any 125’s which do over 65 or are they all of the same limitation
@@stevePC no all 125’s are slow nowadays. Other option is to do A test then get a 400-500cc
@MrDarcy & the Ol'man just wanted to know if you will revierew the keeway superlight 125cc?
Phil-a-Mation INC Unlikely at the moment. We are reviewing more Bullit 125’s and Herald, so that’s probably a better option
Great review. What would you go for out of this and the Sinnis Hoodlum? If any.
Hard one! Both lovely bikes. We’d probably go for the Hoodlum because we love the forward controls and wide handlebars and it’s also very good value for money.
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Thanks for the reply. I was leaning more towards the Hoodlum, but now the Honda Shadow has got my attention haha
@@andrewg1531 ha ha, the shadow does that, gorgeous bike!
Have to do my CBT soon and looking towards riding a manual instead of a scooter, this is something I would like to use as a commuter. The only thing I'm concern about is the price tag.
It is a very nice bike. Other options are some nice bikes from Sinnis. We're reviewing one next week.
Thank you for another interesting review.
In my opinion, this bike looks pretty good (for a 125) and offers good value for money.
It is a good bike for 16-18 year old adolescents, well suited to learn how to ride a motorcycle.
But personally, i cannot Imagine seasoned adults on this particular bike. It would appear some kind of ridicoulous in my opinion.
A small criticism:
The "soundtrack" of this review was really annoying for me. It was the perfect choice for the "electric chair" you reviewed a few days ago - but not for a bike, that represents a chopper / bobber / cruiser- style.
Metal would suite much better . Up the Irons 🤘
Thanks for your input Michi it’s always great to hear your thoughts, I agree with you on the sound track. Dad chose it! I would’ve opted for some metal too!
Rubbish I am over 60 held a full motorcycle licence for decades & rode & spannered bikes from 50 cc to 1700 c.c .If I was looking for a small 125 cc runabout ,this would make my short list .I ride the capacity & type of motorcycle that suits my needs at the time .not what the U.K. motorcycling media would have you believed you needed .A 125 will do 85% of the time what a large capacity bike will do ,a motorcycle is a motorcycle no such thing as a learner bike .
@@maskedavenger2578except 125s struggle to even meet the national speed limit, let alone leave some in the tank for safe getaways
@@James-lu4en I have a held a full motorcycle licence for decades . To me there is no such thing as a learners or beginners motorcycle , there are just motorcycles of all various types . Just because there is a national speed limit it doesn’t mean it has to be achieved . I have rode many a 1OO ,125 & Honda C 70 cub down motorways & even a twist & rip 125 scooter down the M53 continuing along the A 55 express way all the way to Anglesey . I have got 70 plus out of all of them ,except for the Honda c 70. Also most 125 ‘s will leave most cars standing at the lights for a reasonable distance ,for a safe getaway . People should just buy the capacity size & style of bike ,that they want & serves the purpose they need it to serve at the time ,be it a 9 hp 125 with a top speed of only 60 mph or a crotch rocket that’s capable of 200mph .
Great review cool bike! is it fuel injected?
Thanks buddy. Yes it is 👍🏼
Great review think the price is abit much, but it look amazing bit small for me being 6ft4
Antz Joseph Thanks buddy! Probably on the small side but you could certainly ride it. Most 125’s are pretty small tbh. Have you got any other options?
@@MrDarcy-OlMan I was thinking about a yamaha yzf r125 or hyosung gt125r need something with the maximum power of a 125. I really like the hyosung in this review and look are fantastic it hard to find a nice looking 125cc for my size besides honda valadero xl 125 which I can only get now second hand.
Antz Joseph Problem with sports bikes is that the riding position is horrible, especially for tall riders.
@@MrDarcy-OlMan great thank for the help and replying back.
Antz Joseph no worries 👊🏼
Good review, would be good to have a comparison between the hyusong and the ajs highway star 125?
Thanks Dan! We should be getting the AJS bikes once the lockdown eases a bit more
@@MrDarcy-OlMan look forward to it as I am looking at both bikes for a 125 👍
I would go for the Hyosung as its almost clone of Honda VT125 shadow as where the highway star 125 from AJS is really untested as it was brought out to replace 3 of AJS cruiser types the DD125 the Daytona and the EOS125. which all had their problems problems mainly with their electrics with the exception of the DD125 which reached the MK4 version where AJS had ironed almost all of the issues out of this model then discontinued it for the highway star. AJS also doesn't have a vtwin engine ive ridden both the highway star and the aquila and the highway star is underpowered for its wet weight.or consider finding a used honda VT125 shadow for sale as the owners of these bikes generally keep them in very good condition and if well looked after keep a good resale value when you chose to move up to a big bike.
looking good and cheap running costs!
Roy Staakman Yes 💯 % 👊🏼
Great video. Thank you. Do you know the top speed? Is there any exhaust replacement options?
Thanks buddy. Yes about 65 mph. I don’t know about exhaust options. See if you can find ‘Toro’ exhaust
@@MrDarcy-OlMan thank you. I am struggling between purchasing the Cb125r, the Yamaha MT125 or this Aquila. I was hoping there will be a way to boost the power on this Aquila that way I have a more definitive decision 😅. I owned a Keeway Superlight and it struggled to hit 50mph. Do you have those bikes in review?
@@driftingmemories5737 The Aquila was a bit gutless tbh. Honda do the best 125 engines. The Honda Monkey 125 is a superb little bike (see our review)
Hi, I've watched your reviews on both the Hyosung GV125 and the Sinnis Hoodlum and I'm still struggling to make a decision on which one I want. Which one out of the two would you consider being the better choice? Chinese vs Korean, Cruiser vs Bobber style, Single pot vs V-twin (obvious choice there) - it's a tough decision!
We preferred the Hoodlum tbh. It had a bit more oomph and is laid back
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Thanks for your opinion! I ended up buying a Hoodlum in the end and don't regret it one bit!
Fantastic well done 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for the review! Do you know a 250 similar to this one? I'm a 5'3 female beginner rider looking for a not too wide bike that fits my size. Not sure whether I'll long term be happy with a 125
Hi there! Theres a Lexmoto Vendetta 250 (we will be reviewing it soon), and a new model (not yet out) which we will review soon but can’t say yet. May be a bit high though. Because of the stupid UK licensing laws not many manufacturers make 250’s at the moment but from November the EU are making a small change which may help.
@@MrDarcy-OlMan thanks! looking forward to more reviews!
highbirdlx thank you ! Just a thought though, you could after passing your A2 license, de-restrict the 125 which would give it a lot more power.
MrDarcy & the Ol'Man And I thought you left the EU. No, you‘re not Irish ☝️😉.
Have you considered the 250 Aquila? Or even the 650aquila restricted is quite tame, but plenty of torque if you need to go highway speeds
What's your view on the top end? The specifications on the website says 75mph, but so far most reviews I've seen say 50-55mph max which doesn't fill me with confidence, I just want a small manual for weekend rides but will also keep up with the traffic, currently using a Honda Forza automatic for work commute etc and it worries me that I can get 75mph with ease on that (2015)
We got 60 mph but it’s not got enough torque to get more really. Perhaps with a longer straight, eg motorway it might stretch more but I think 65 is realistic
@@MrDarcy-OlMan is that derestricted?
@@georgebailey-sl6qk this is in standard form, they aren’t restricted that’s just how much power they produce.
Hi there, Beginner rider wondering if this would be ok for a first time rider as I've never had to do gears before.
Yes it would be fine 💯

I am interested in the size comparison (optical) of the large machines (length and height) - greetings from Germany
OK yes, the Hyosung is smaller than the Triumph Bobber or theHarley Davidsons
@@MrDarcy-OlMan that is clear to me, I would only have liked to see how big the difference is. greetings
It looks nice. At what height is the rider tested?
👍🏼👍🏼 188cm
Can you recommend any good dealers for this in the london area?
Osyas I’m don’t know any personally but if you look on hyosungs website I think you’ll find one. Otherwise, look on Sinnis website because they are connected.
For me a 125 is a little too small. 250cc is usually about right.
I think if I owned one I might be tempted to fit a less restrictive exhaust to get a little of that v-twin sound.
Yes indeed 👍🏼👍🏼
Nothing too offensive - just so I can hear it properly.
for that sort of money it should be good
peter pyke It’s a very nice bike!
Anyone know the best mpg 125cc? I guess they are all pretty good. Seems like the Hoodlum for me so far.
Honda no doubt
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Thought so and prob the most reliable? Shame am not too keen on the looks but...
I am 64 (no worries I am still agile, slim and weight lifter and I do understand I am agin 🙂 ) and about to take my CBT. do you recommend this? My aim is just to take it easy, country side etc. There quite few of these, all similar, but my biggest worry is parts.

Ahh shame 👍🏼

Hi from france ! What is ur size ? To know if im not too tall for the bike
Hello! I (Old Man) am 6 feet 3 inches tall. Mr Darcy is 6 feet 1 inches. It is a very nice bike.
@@MrDarcy-OlMan That´s 192cm for you and 186cm for Mr Darcy.
I'm torn between this and the Sinnis Outlaw. Would you consider the argument I'll have with the wife over the extra grand for this over the Outlaw worth it? They are both nice bikes.
I’m not sure I would pay the extra tbh, I found the outlaw to be a better riding position.
@@MrDarcy-OlMan thanks very much for your speedy reply. I think that confirms it for me. Outlaw it is 👍🏼
Would you recommend this bike for a 6’2 tall rider?
Should be ok 👍🏼
had so many problems with it. 2 years on and it sits in the garage, still haven't finished my payments for it. it is a nice bike but it suffers from a few things. wiring is one, scarce or non-existent spare parts, no shop in my area are even considering looking at fixing it. had so many wiring issues, which I managed to fix.... now it doesn't start at all. finally found a suitable battery, but I'm sceptical it will ever start again...
mirrors are crap, have to be replaced once you buy the bike, as you can't see anything in them, no matter how tall or wide you are. right leg uncomfortable due to that async air cover thing.
love/ hate relationship with her tbh..... but for close to 4k from new, to be already out of service after 2 years is not a lot of return for your investment. I will go back to the classic japanese marauder, shadow or intruder etc, as at least you know what to expect....
anyone buying a 2 year old Hyosung Gv125S? only 2900 miles on it, looks and feels like new!
What about the dealer where you bought it initially? They should give you the required support, especially if the bike is still under warranty. Or didn't you purchased it from an official dealer?
@@jeroendenhertog4975 they're like 500 miles away :)))
I'm 6ft 3" to so that answers that question. Are there many 125cc that for my height would be ok etc
Not really tbh. They’re mostly tiny 👍🏼
I hear ya, thanks appreciate that. Saves me keep looking for ones that might fit and just go with what I like for couple years till time to move up to something more my size. I do really like the idea of a 125 in vtwin it's just something alittle but different from the norm 👍😁.
Great review as always 👍
Not really this style, but Honda Varadero is really good for taller riders.
how comfy is the seas on the hoodlum 125cc?
seat
It’s fine 👍🏼👍🏼
I was expecting to see nice good looking small cc cruiser like this from Honda not a brand like Hyosung. Yes its like a mini Harley 883 but its definatley the best looking 125 cruiser to date. Hyosung surely have a better design team then honda, there new honda rebels 300 and 500 are fugly as hell. The one big draw back that i see in this hyosung is the weight, for 165kg the engine needs to be at least a 250cc or a 300.
Agreed bro! The big 4 Japanese really need to ditch the plasticky rubbish and go back to retro styling and make what people want.
how would you rate this one compared to the Sinnis Hoodlum 125 ?
We prefer the Hoodlum but the Hyosung is a good bike
Hi , do you think its big enough for someone who is 6ft2?
Probably is, you can judge what I look like on it as I am also 6ft 2 👍🏼
@@MrDarcy-OlMan thx for the response , all the best!
Let me know how you have got on with it after a year of every day use.
Bet you would not be positive about it after that
1royturner we won’t have it for a year so unfortunately we can’t comment on that
I had a hyosung for 3 years - and in south wales uk where it pisses down constantly, and she still looked awesome when I sold her to get a bigger bike. They are far superior to China bikes! The only thing I thought was cheap in it was the trim sticker on the tank and mud guards.
How easy is it to get parts for the bike??
Not sure tbh.
Hyosung, please bring this to India, you can sell it like hot-cakes....
mohammed kabeerc Yes I’m sure you’re right!
You look like Dougal McKenzie. (Outlander)
I guess I do a bit 😄
Can those be sent to the US?
I guess as a private import you could
Fender? Are we English or American..... Mudguard old chap

has it got ABS and what is the top speed?
Yes it has abs and top speed is 60mph
@@MrDarcy-OlMan thanks 👌
Lol there is no ABS!
하이오성!
Is the bike good for someone who has 1,65 meters height and has never driven a motorcycle (but will get 4 hours driving lessons)?
I think it would just about be. Make sure you sit on one before you buy to be sure you can at least get both feet tiptoed on ground
@@MrDarcy-OlMan thank you for the information. Great review, clearly explained.
@@EA-of7bu No problem!
@@MrDarcy-OlMan would you advise for a first motorbike the two feet being flat on the ground? I still feel a bit intimitated by the height and weight of a bike because of a serious intensive care injury i had after my first motorcycle ride as a teenager :)
Engin Palit I guess ideally flat but tiptoes is ok. The other option is to get shorter springs for the suspension to lower it a bit, but that’s costly. Once you sit on it though, it will compress a bit so may well be ok
To put things in perspective.
Chopper means take original factory bike. Cut frame to stretch for longer forks.
Bobber. Came before choppers.
ALL UNNECESSARY CRAP REMOVED but frame untouched.
So original factory bike with low bars and stepped seat. It's a sit up and beg retro commuter tourer.
Honestly.
Save your money. Go direct access with rented bikes.
Then chase your dreams.

Cristian Cormos we actually had it 3 months because of lockdown and yes it was still good 👍
it is very good, but its also very expensive, its more than twice a Lexmoto michigan/sinnis hoodlum/keeway superlight

I hope it doesn't have all the same electrical problems as *most* hyosungs (especially older comet 125 and 250)
(faulty safety/ignition relays, regulators, plug hats, etc. are common in the older models)
Fingers crossed!
I have an 04 gv250. No electrical problems.
@@pb222221 it seems the problems are more common on GT models than the GV models, which is strange, considering they all have more or less the same parts. I guess you just won the 'Hyosung lottery' ;)
My 03 GT125 Comet has pretty much every problem imaginable despite being reasonably well kept and having only 23 000km on it. And I've heard similar stories by other owners of the gt125/250 bikes.
@@JwpGaming not sure if I actually won the hyosung lottery. Last night I replaced a cracked intake boot on the rear cylinder, while reinstalling the carb... The front one developed a large leak.

What is the actual top speed of this I've been told so many different things it's actually put me off buying it. Ridiculous that 12 people I hear review it gives me 12 different answers in top speed.
Put it this way, it’s not fast. If it goes above 60 mph it will increase very slowly.
@@MrDarcy-OlMan 70 stock or nearer 80 with a change of sprockets. But I am only 10 and a half stone
whats the 0-60 like?
You have time to enjoy the scenery while it's doing it! Seriously though, we didn't time it but like all 125's it's not quick. Over 10 seconds.
@@MrDarcy-OlMan it'll feel fast enough for someone new to motorbikes tho im guessing? im 18 and looking for a bike and my gf lives 50 miles away so this looks pretty practical comfort wise for the journey just didnt want something too slow, but ive never ridden before so it should be okay. lol
Sam Counsell Power wise; all 125’s are the same so it’s down to style, type and looks. This like a bigger bike in most respects so it would be at least as good as any 125 for distance. It’s very stable and easy to ride. You’d find it hard to get a better bike.
@@MrDarcy-OlMan subscribed, thanks for the help
Sam Counsell no problem bro!
How much does it cost please ?
You should find it here www.sinnismotorcycles.com/product-hyosung-aquila-gv125cc/

What is this motorcycle top speed?
It will do 60mph and 65 at a push 👍🏼
*Faster than a tank in Tienanmen Square.*
Super light is the top, guys think no more
Cool!
£3600 is a big ask for a hyosung, give it a year in the rain and awful british weather and im sure it will look bloody awful, still if i was 17 again i would want one of these just to pose on.
Compared to the big 4 it’s priced about right but compared to the Chinese makes its expensive. Hard to say about how it will hold up in the weather
I had a 250 hyosung aquila, never had any problems with it. Many think they are Chinese but they are actually Korean, and for the price you pay new they are well worth it
How tall are you two?

@@MrDarcy-OlMan Thank U so much brohs
Never understood why people make an effort to make a video and forget an important detail. SPEED! what does it do?
It's a 125. They're all the same by law. 60mph maybe a tad more downhill.
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Yamaha 125cc goes 140km/u. The scooter goes 70km/u. Aprilla goes lot faster. They are not the same and in Europe there is no limit I know.
It doesn't really matter. No 125 will do highway speeds comfortable but all of them will do the legal limit on smaller roads.
