Pros and Cons in comparison

Hyosung GV 125 S Aquila 2022

If you like the look of big bobber bikes with powerful V2 engines, the Hyosung GV125 S Aquila is an interesting 125cc alternative. The look is really successful, the proportions are right and the Bonsai V2 is a real V2! However, the engine does not stand out noticeably from the usual single-cylinder competition. This may also be due to the comparatively high weight. Nevertheless, the GV125 S Aquila is a very agile and, thanks to the comfortable seating position, also very easy to ride bobber. A real recommendation for novice riders with an A1/B111/B196 licence.
