★ HYOSUNG AQUILA GV125S V-TWIN REVIEW ★ 

You are a true motorcyclist by heart Mark! Your enthusiasm over this unique baby v-twin proves it. People ask me how can I get excited riding a Honda 110 scooter after riding big a adventure bike or liter sport bikes? I always give the same answer: If you’re a true motorcyclist by heart, you can! Cheers 🍻🍻

I've been wanting to buy this for a while, been worried I would be too short/tall for it, but to see somebody as the same height as me showing what they actually look like on it really helps, thank you 👍🏻

good review, im about to get back into riding after a bike accident and this looks like a clear winner for me.

It's a nice little bike if you get past that misconception that anything non-Japanese is trash, it's rather powerful compared to other A1 license motorcycles so people might enjoy it a little bit more than a standard single cylinder 10 HP motorcycle. I would much rather get something like this than a Honda 125. Personally I had some experience with the A2 one, the GV300s that may be one of the better 300cc bikes out there, it's definitely one of the better A2 cruisers as it even beats the Honda Rebel 300 which has a single cylinder and just 25hp as opposed to GV300's 30HP and that is something not many bikes can say these days as manufacturers don't throw in a second cylinder on motorcycles anymore, especially ones that don't hit the upper limit of the A2 license. (both are enough for commuting, but 5 extra HP does put an even bigger smile on your face). Great review man!

That looks like a great bike and even though it has short service intervals everything looks easy to get at...even the valves/covers look easily accessible. If you're doing it yourself it'll be cheap to run I'd have thought. A vee twin 125👍...Nice one. Great review as always. Thanks for posting.

Nice review Mark, not a style of bike I would normally buy but this one seems well made and is appealing . I do like some of the 125cc that are currently on the market and would be great to have in my shed alongside my bigger bike. You can have great fun on these little machines. The big issue is that dealers in my area don’t tend to run 125cc bikes as demonstrators so it’s difficult to compare makes and models.

I have Timsun tires on my Mash Falcone 125 and they are good in all sorts of weather. We may not forget that a lot of tires are made in China even the well known brands. I did a lot of transport and import of that.

Goodness! Certainly upgraded learner from my YB 100 of the 70’s

Fun review👍 You were fair not judging it for its capacity or make, taking it on face value. Although do wonder about the short service intervals. Interesting little bike.

That's great that you are not forgetting about the simple and cheap bikes.

Cool little wee twin. Only other one I remember was the Honda Varadero 125

I had a Hyosung GT125cc. Was an amazing bike, sounded great with a Lextex exhaust on. That was a V-twin engine as well. Would be interesting to see what you think of that bike.

This is a very impressive bike, don't see two cylinders on a 125. I had a Honda CB 125 Twin in 1980 it produced 16.5 BHP, it was an amazing bike. I watched many of your reviews, don't see one on the Honda SH125i. Just over a year nearly done 20,000 miles. If you decide to review that bike I would be interested to hear your opinion! Mine seems to easily do 200 miles on its tiny tank.

Agree about the gap between the saddle and tank. Front end testicle removal. What were they thinking!? Otherwise a nice ride.

Great review mark,u could get the Top manufactures for the same money,but they dont have a v twin engine in theres and it has the maximum horsepower the same has the others.so when u look at it like that,the hyosung is the better buy.

Really torn between this or the keeway v cruise. The review is awesome and slightly tipping it into the gv

Love your reviews, very concise, cover everything I would ask. I'm deciding between the gv125 and zonte zt125 g1. Newcomer to the bike world at 57, Don't want to look too big for bike at 5ft 9.so find your reviews very helpful

Very nice bike v twin sounds lovely great review mark like 👍

Very good-looking bike. Great profile. 125s have certainly improved a lot since my teens when you could ride 250s before taking your test. I think the old ones were just as quick, though. No Euro nonsense on them strangling the performance. Another excellent video.

Looks bloody cool.

going for my cbt soon and was looking for a chopper esc bike as iv always loved my harleys so i think this could it even if it pricy

Very nice 125! Hope to see you review the new Zontes in the New year and some Motto Guzzis? (Oh and the BSA bike).

Even if it was done purposely that gap between seat and tank cannot be unseen...

Hi apologies if you have already done one but if you get the chance I would really appreciate it if you could do a review on the keeway rk v 125

Mark if you compare the hyosung with the qj 300 bobber which is better quality ? The one is korean the other Chinese. Also compared to the hunder the 500 price difference worth the hyusung ?

かっこいいバイクですね

Brilliant as usual Mark, you remember your review of the RE Meteor 350, which of the two would you put first on perceived quality?

Hi Mark. As always thanks for your thorough review. Not to judge your foreign accent (-_-) but, it is pronounce aquila like aqua. A Q U EE L A. Its Italian for Eagle. Once again cheers

top vid mark, once again thanks. ps. whats your current bike at this time, .

My choice atm. This or the Zontes G1?

Reasons you’d have this over an Enfield 350 or a Honda?

Nice looking 125. Did someone in the design department forget to make make the seat a little bit longer. So that it reaches the petrol tank ?? Good review as always. Cheers.

Looks a great little bike. I've watched you review on this and on the zontes zt 125 u1, just wondered which one you felt had the best build quality and possible longevity?

125cc V twin? That is very interesting. I've heard good things about Hyosung, but for some reason they don't have much of a dealer network in Europe.

A possible alternative is the *SINNIS Hoodlum*

lovely Lookin 125 good styling only one thing I was left wondering about was the gap from the front of the seat to the tank is that just a styling thing or is their a reason for it apart from that to me it's great . I f was to get a 125 for pooling around on that would be it . Cheers Mark good one : )

I wish they sold this in the U.S. I have a 2006 Kawasaki Eliminator 125, but this looks better, AND it has the huge advantage of tubeless tires.

Out of Interest which do you think is the better bike out of this and the Zontes ZT125-C that you recently reviewed? Great videos and very helpful when looking for a new bike!

Looks a beautiful bike but prefer the look of the older Aquila gv125 .. I’m new to motorbikes so there are 2 bike that you have reviewed that I’m interested in which is this one and your review of the Zontes ZT125-G1.. could you in your opinion tell me which is the better bike .. thanks

Those motorcycles are still sold in the US under ATK dealerships

It's really rare to see a multi cylinder 125cc motorcycle. Almost all of them are single cylinder bikes. I like that 💖💖👏🏼👏🏼

Mirrors look very "tight" together..But it looks very nice.

Lovely V sound. How do you manage to find all these interesting bikes? Great option!

Hi Mark, this was really enjoyable to watch. I grew up in Poole and lived there all my life until my wife and I moved to Yorkshire 4 years ago. A trip down memory lane watching you ride down to the Harbour and Baiter! I have one question, we just bought one of these after a 10 year break and it arrived yesterday. We can't seem to get the gears to show on the dash though? Any idea why?

Good review mark will you be reviewing the 300 version??

Fantastic video - thank you. Do you have any experience with Keeway v cruise 125 or the rkv 125? Very informative video!

I heard BSA now has a new retro 650 single cylinder. Pls review it.

Not a fan of the looks but I don't like Harleys either, shame the seat and tank don't meet that's a bit strange but my biggest bug bear is the matt paint finish, who doesn't like polishing their tank, I know I do. Anyway if you only have an a1 I suppose it's a decent enough bike. Love your reviews even when I would not even consider buying the bike.

Better looking than the Honda Rebel.

What wattage bulb does this take?

Currently torn between this bike and a Zontes g1, not the same style bikes but both a little something different. How to you think the two bike match up?

To be honest, it looks quite neat and tidy from up close. I was expecting worse workmanship.

Do you know if they will be available in the USA

Great wee bike. I would seriously consider the 300cc version but this shares the same frame which is far too small for 6'4'' me 😭 Other manufacturers do the same with their 2500cc/400cc bikes.😭😭😭😭😭

Cannot fine this bike for sale in the USA. Any suggestions where to buy? Thank You

Where from I can buy this ?? In London

i like this unit,can you get it in the USA?

Sould have put my glasses on, I thought it said gv 1255 lol

First impression from this video: the engine and whole bike looks big, so why bother with a twin for such a small displacement? It does not go much faster than the Sinnis 125.

Looks good and solid! To me though 125's are (were) 2 stroke and they had 25 to 30hp like the Cagiva C12R i have. It's on my channel if you want to take a peek 😉

That gap between the seat and tank looks like a nutripper. Any problems on that department?

Can you carry a pillion passenger ?

2,500 mile service intervals. To me, that is one of the biggest problems with Chinese bikes, low service intervals. To someone that uses their bike every day, or most days, they could quite easily be servicing it every 2 months ( about 40 - 45 mile per day - 20 miles each way to work and back - which could easily happen ) I realise that might only mean changing the oil and filter, but still. Not your fault, I realise, Mark, but a 125 Japanese bike would, more than likely have a much longer service interval, and wouldn't be that much more to buy than this bike.

Does this bike qualify for a cbt Standard?

I love a 125 that isnt a single but I could never live with that gap between the seat and tank.. there is a 300 exactly the same as this..

Looks are subjective of course, but the fuel tank looks like an afterthought , awful. Each to their own.

So disappointed that hyosung went the bobber look. So much smaller than its predecessors. I have a 2016 model and it has that big bike feel. Was about to buy this 2021 model today and was shocked at how much smaller it is 🥺 feels like a 125 now. Shame

Nice little bike, but alas, once again not available here in the colonies!

Looks fine if that’s your cup of tea, but for that amount of money I personally would buy good second hand Japanese, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha. My main reason is depreciation, horrendous losses on any new bike but much worse on this, the quality of engineering, and materials used are not of the standard I require or expect, this is one of the better alternatives being Korean as they have made some effort to use better quality metals but it’s well overpriced for what it is. These are just my opinions but it’s founded on nearly 50 years of riding motorcycle’s, There are other brands I’ve had experience with such as BMW but whilst at risk of ruffling more feathers I would say BMW lost their high standards of engineering and finishing about 20 years ago. This would be ok second hand, much reduced but at the asking price it’s just not a good deal

OK bike halogen lights no no not in this era come on Hyosung.
