GV250 Aquila
|
AQUILA - Value, Performance, Sophisticated.
|
 |
The
Hyosung V-twin 250cc engine was designed in Hamamatsu Japan by a design
team consisting of engineers who have previously worked in the R&D
teams of some of the big Japanese motorcycle companies. Because this
engine is the newest design among its rivals, it has many performance
features that they do not have. These include roller bearing cam
shafts, 2 piece spring dampened bevel silent primary drive gears, dual
squelch combustion chambers etc. These are features that were
previously confined to racing engines, and in the past have been
uneconomical to incorporate into smaller capacity engines for street
use. Proven DOHC 4 valve per cylinder configuration, with twin
downdraft Mikuni carburetors provide the highest volumetric efficiency
and air coupled with an oil cooler provide reliability in the harshest
conditions.

The front brake is a Heavy duty 275mm solid single disc with
fully floating dual piston caliper and long life brake pads. Ample for
a cruiser of larger capacity.
|
|
Wide comfort seat with queen seat for pillion passenger. Low
seat height (700mm) for relaxed cruising and ease in traffic for riders
who are not tall. The seat is removable with a key lock and can store
tools and incorporate helmet security (depending on helmet design).
|
|
The Aquila is styled to follow timeless traditions and does
not look like a copy cruiser. The many press articles about the Aquila
all testify to its good looks and the fact that the Aquila attracts
admirers where ever it goes.
|
|
The fuel tank capacity is ample for touring (14 liter). The
Aquila's excellent highway performance means you can go touring with
the big bikes without a stop to re-fuel until they do. The Aquila is so
capable on the highway (approx 145kms top speed and approx 350kms fuel
range) that you can go touring with the big bikes without them having
to wait for you. A single key operates the ignition, seat release and
steering lock, therefore the steering lock is operated simply by
turning the ignition key to lock position and removing the key ( unlike
cheaper cruisers that have separate keys, and require unlocking the
steering in one position, then finding the ignition key to start the
bike in another position).

|
The Alloy wheels are spun billet items of the highest quality
and are fitted with wide tubeless tires (Shinko's). Tubeless tires are
superior to tires fitted with tubes (which is why cars are no longer
fitted with tube tires), and they reduce the impact of a puncture. A
motorcycle fitted with spoked wheels will always suffer a flat tire
from a puncture, not so with tubeless. Adjustable chrome rear shocks
with 5 spring load settings are fitted, and chrome dual exhausts
complement the cruiser with the most chrome in its class.
