“I own a Hyosung Aquila GV125 (2010 model)since April...”

I own a Hyosung Aquila GV125 (2010 model)since April 2010 (bought it new)and I must say that I'm very pleased with it, so far.

I use it every single day for my job and cruising arround, except if it rains.



Built Quality: concerning the price it's quite good builted. Of course we have to have extra care of the crhomes because they have not a nickel layer under the chrome (the jap bikes have), so we must make sure to always keep the bike free from humidity to prevent spots of rust. If you ride it in rain use some kind of lubrificator and the chromes will mantain in great conditions.



Reliability: Mine has already about 6000km and so far it's working like a clock. No problems starting it; no problems with strange noises in the engine).. all works really fine. I've notice a little oil lowering (about 100ml) after 4000km of use, but this it's perfectly normal as I drove the bike in hight temperatures and for long periods of time .. so, us all of you know, 4T Engines always burn some oil... it's normal.







Tips for keep it always in good conditions:



- Be sure to check the tires pressure;



- In raining days be sure to clean it to prevent rust to emerge (preferencially do not use it when it's raining);



- Try not to speed up in ways that the rev counter hits more than 80%. Normally I try to mantain the revolutions at 5500/6000 rpm when at 5th gear and I always let the engine runs free and shift to another gear when the engine starts to "ask" for another one. For this, you must learn to "hear the engine".



- DO NOT make wholes or any other kind of modification on the exhaust. If you do this, you will mess the engine compression and for sure you will damage it. It's a 125cc ... if you want noise be sure to buy something larger than 125cc ... I find ridiculous to hear so much noise in something so weak in terms of engine power... well .. it's my opinion.





- Keep all mechanical revisions in day.



Finally: I believe that there should be always someone that's not happy with this bike, but if we take good care of it, and if you are not a sporty driver, this bike will do it's job. I've read some comments that were, at least, ridiculous and exaggerated, and some of them almost sureal. If they realy did happen i'm sorry for them. but what we don't know is HOW they take care of the bikes and how sporty they ride. For those who are interested in speed, you MUST NOT buy one cruiser. Cruisers are made for cruising, not speeding. Drive safely!
