What a cool bike! It looks like I found your site after two posts! Let me be the first the say good luck and welcome to the D-List.
That really is an awesome looking bike. Good luck on your blog.
That’s nice looking bike. Bike brand is not very popular here in Finalnd.
Nice photo - nice bike! Saw one last week online, test-rode one this morning and ordered one straight away! In the same colour as your photo! The bike rides as good as it looks!
I want this so bad. I was going to buy a dirt bike recently, but then I found out I was going to move. Since then I have been desperate. Do you have any bikes?
I have one of those in Silver. Awesome bike. Loving every minute of it.
If you compare, you will notice it was based very much on the Harley V-Rod designs.
This truly is one hell of a muscle bike indeed!
Awesome article, thanks for the post!

i wish i could afford one….maybe in my next life
cheers,
I absolutely don’t know anything about bikes, but this one certainly looks hot. Looking forward to more posts, Brian!
The blue colour is actually the least popular. Everyone seems to go for the black or silver, which looks very, very cool.
It does boil down to a matter of personal taste. You have to admit though, black is really slick and classic; you can’t possibly go wrong with a black bike.
wow, i think i’m in love with a machine…is that legal?
Hyosung is not so popular in my country. We better stick to the big names because unpopular brand tend to have bad service support. It’s not the fault of the manufacturer itself but more towards local appointed distributor who are not willing to invest in after sales support.
That is one great-looking bike. Does it cost much?
That is a damn good looking bike.
Wow, that is a great looking bike. Wouldn’t we all love to have that in the garage to be able to take out for rides…
Hi, very nice - where did you get the sissy bar & saddle bag add on?
thanks

Damn Men I want one of this so bad. You should take more pic that day! Im “google it” for see if I can found an used one near my Place. I definitely want to buy it.
ps. My girl will kill me but its ok :)
I could definitely see myself on this bike! I want a bigger bike than my current one, and I actually love the light blue :) - Cute for a girl (like me) I think.
I’ve had mine for 3 weeks now and I love it (it’s blue just like the picture)!!!!! The low center of gravity and the wide back tire makes the curvey roads a blast. It has plenty of power to keep up with my husbands 1500 Gold Wing. Also between the quality and the fact that there are enough dealers/service centers within a 50 mile radius of me - that I’m not concered with service or warranty problems.
As for accessories, I got a generic windshield for $80 online - Fits great! My saddlebags, which I also got online - $45, also work great.
I’m working on the Sissybar/luggage rack and I will bet that I can find something that will work and won’t break the bank. Like anything - if you want it bad enough - you will find a way. The bike is well worth the little extra effort to find affordable accessories.
Kim in Dallas - Check a site run by a guy who calls himself Richard Hyosung! He has lots of aftermarker accessories - some are pricey - some are not!
The bikes looks just amazing.
I wonder if there is a reseller for the brand down here in California.
That bike is sick! If i was a bike guy i would definitley get a bike like that.
Sweet bike Great idea!!!
I love this bike. I really want to have it at my Home lawn.
This bike has become popular in Australia. I just ordered a brand new one a few days ago in blue - can’t wait to get it and jump on and ride off into the sunset.
23Wedding cake lady, there is a dealer in Ontario California www.allpropowersports.com and also found one in Temecula CA off HWY 79. Very nice bike I will be getting mine May ‘08.
P.S. for those who own this bike already go on to www.prideinwhatyouride.com to know more about this awesome bike.
I am currently interested in this brand. Due to tax regulations here in Denmark Motorcycles and cars are 3 times as expensive as in the rest of Europe and the states. But Hyosung is the cheapest brand above 500 cc. I am thinking to go and get one when they come in 1200 cc. More about that here: http://www.godspeed.bz/hyosung/index.html Guess that the big four and HD should be aware then.
Hi all.
Just bought one of them, only waiting arrival. I can’t wait. It looks awesome and i can’t wait to get on it.
Cheers from Namibia(Africa)
Wew.. awesome bike.. looks so sexy and hot… i just want to rid it in.. heeeyah!

i need the drive belt, for less $$$, where can i find this part.
Nice bike, where was that pic taken at?
Yeah the GV650 AQUILA is one awesome bike. I’ve seen one in red but the blue one you took a picture of looks awesome too.
chance,
if you need parts for any hyosung products try this guy Richard Jordan. He is an awesome guy based in Korea and you can get parts for the Hyosung quicker than ordering it from a dealer here in the U.S…it wont cost you more either.

i got a blue gv650 for my birthday this year.first bike and i love it.im one of the first if not the first to have this bike in mississippi and havent gotten oone negative response from anyone yet.
My 2007 Midnight Blue is on it’s way and will be here tomorrow. Purchased at Cycle Dragon in Cerritos, CA
Just received mine… it was delivered yesterday. Midnight Blue with 0 miles on her. http://i234.photobucket.com/al.....CF1910.jpg
Found another tip for GV650 owners. If you are interested in a cruiser size windshield, Motorcycle Accessory Warehouse carries on that looks and fits great.
Qy Part# Description………………………… Price
1 86739 SLIP SS32 FALCON 20“ CLR OVERSIZE 175.95
Looks great and really makes a difference on those long rides.
Just got mine yesterday. Actually mine was purchased under the United Motors name, same bike though. Can’t wait to ride it. I’m still a little scared since I’ve never been on a motorcycle before, but I am signed up to take a safety course in june.
Hey Toyota Rolla where are you located? Maybe we can ride together…
I’m Afraid your on the oppisite coast from me. I’m in North Carolina. Sorry.
Hey, you know that the EFI version has 10 more horses at the rear wheel. 10 Horses makes a heck of a difference if you take into consideration the overall weight of the bike didn’t change. Check the stats on the 2008 EFI (electronic fuel injected) version.
I finally bought one, the silver with color matching boxes and the sport windshield! Got it 2 and half months ago and have logged just under 2000 miles! This bike LOVES to be handled like a sport bike, counter steering on tight turns, at higher than recommended speeds, and all!! It feels more stable underneath you than a sport bike of the same output though. I wish I could figure out a way to put a pic of it up here……
