The Hyosung GV650 Aquila is a cruiser style motorcycle. Its V-twin engine is also found in the GT650R and GT650S sportbikes. The engine looks similar to the one found in the Suzuki SV650 by general layout, however sizes of practically all elements differ and the parts are not interchangeable.

Model-specific features

GV650 has belt drive contrary to GT650 with which it shares engine. Contrary to GT650 it has 5 speeds. In both cases rev limiter is at 10500RPM, but GV650 has no rev counter. [2]

By design, the motorcycle can be started with kickstand down when gear is in neutral position.

It has two turn signal indicators.

Headlamp for all models is always turned on when keys are turned, in accordance with US DLR regulations.

US-distributed vehicles have factory-mounted passive orange light reflectors on the sides of radiator cover and red reflectors on sides of rear registration plate.

It has two separate odometers besides total distance counter.

Vehicle has no gear position indicator, however multi-position gear sensor is wired to ECU in EFI versions.

Carburetor (non-EFI) versions have green LCD display meter, EFI versions have white LCD.

EFI versions display motor fault (red FI error lamp on display) before starting the motor.

In EFI versions, ECU numeric error code can be read-out instead of speed on display meter, if one switches (optional) diagnostic switch after starting the motor (keeping the switch on prevents from starting the motor).

Fuel reserve is unusually high at 5 litres (1.1 imp gal; 1.3 US gal) in a 16 litres (3.5 imp gal; 4.2 US gal) tank, and is indicated by 'fuel bar null and blinking' visual scheme which gives impression of having emergency of almost empty tank while in reality there is still about 80 kilometres (50 mi) more to go.

Fuel consumption averages 42MPG (US) or 5.6l/100 km [3] but this includes mostly earlier carburetor based models, on the other hand the data is based on typically longer US travel distances.
