DSK Hyosung GV650 Aquila Pro : Review : PowerDrift

[@powerdriftofficial]

Thanks Susana, wish you lots of happy miles on it :)

[@scardigos]

Hi Marcia, since February that i´ve my gv650 and i´m in love. My car has a layer of dust on top. The only problem in the begining was the weight, i´ve fell twice when stopped because it was to heavy and the road wasn´t helping. But when you ride you just want to go and don´t want to stop, it´s just amazing. I totally agree with this review, but for us the only problem is the weight, for that you just need to be careful and put the Engine Guard, it was my guardian. maybe i´ll some videos. :)

[@akshaythepunekar]

Guys you done it again!!!! Hats offf And the way u pulled with green screen and other technical elements!!! As usual It was a PD style review! AWESOME!11

[@powerdriftofficial]

Yes we are working towards it and the newer videos are much better (and improves with every new video)

[@muhammadzahidkhanpathan7010]

Bring a case study or history video of DSK and Hyosung.

[@TheWarrigator]

Awesome guys..the first cruiser review for powerdrift even since its time as ptr..Great job..

[@powerdriftofficial]

Thanks!

[@dhurjatimishra1230]

all i can say is "JOB WELL DONE" guys....enjoyed every bit of the review

[@Soulbreeze]

I'm not a cruiser person, but I've liked the looks of the GV650's since the first time I saw one. Throw in what's basically an SV650 engine and you have an awesome bike. Well, if it wasn't for the instrument panel and reputation for lots of electrical and mechanical gremlins anyway. Feels like it could fit in with the "M" model Boulevards Suzuki makes which I also like.

[@powerdriftofficial]

+bfleendini We did not face any problems with the GV650, in the duration that we had the bike.

[@powerdriftofficial]

So is the magic of PTR back ;)

[@kariyasaumitra]

Any word on when the gv250 is gonna roll out of dsk India's stables? Going by the international reviews of the baby it looks a winner 80 mpg. Cruises at 90 mph n costs a meager $3999(out the door) in the us. Plus everyone who owns one seems to sing songs about how their 2 yr warranty(parts and labor) was barely used. Any info on india launch dates would be highly appreciated.

[@powerdriftofficial]

Thanks Kevin!

[@powerdriftofficial]

Thats a great idea, we would love to host this info on our website :)

[@bleep3645]

This is the video. My first watch on PD 10 years ago..that made me subscribe to PD....PD the once young and dynamic has turned middle aged...just like me 😂😂

[@sathyaprakashtbts]

@Powerdrift, Thanks for the great video! Between the aquila 650 and hd street 750 which one should I buy??

[@Yodaismycopilot]

I saw elsewhere where a reviewer said the shifting is not smooth. I see where 5:51 you say the "gearbox is clunky" but that you didn't have problems with "false neutrals."

[@powerdriftofficial]

We hope this was a good decision ;)

[@hrishikeshpatil6962]

Catching up with all the wonderful work you have done, one video at a time! ;)

[@powerdriftofficial]

Yeah! We seriously echo that thought!

[@idliman46]

Informative review coupled with a generous dose of epicness! Kudos Guys!

[@fredflintstone9449]

Thanks so much for proper good video unlike the masses! Thumbs up all the way!

[@unorthdox77]

nicely reviewed. thumbs up! ok now, when are gonna see that Duke vs NS ! I always see a small clip showing Duke and NS battling it out in your intro. xD

[@maikal87]

I own one and ridden it up to 200kmh and still goingfaster once. Quite scary if not use to high speed run. Ridden a GT250 and other bike before. The GV650/Aquila Pro 650 is one of the best both long and everyday use, with some tweak to match your on body type and positioning of course.

[@powerdriftofficial]

+Maikal LurvKat How's it going? A lot of people are confused about the sales and service part. How has your experience been?

[@maikal87]

Some good some bad.. Did some mod on it... Other than the notorious leaking radiator problem that every owner have.. And faulty rectifier.. Seem to be running quite good.. Radiator problem? Easy just take out the thermostat, it doesn't need one to run. Rectifier? Use other rectifier that can hold better voltage.. Mod that i made? Change handle bar to using riser and drag handle bar. Standard very heavy exhaust to 2 into 2 exhaust then reconfigure the ecu. Add custom a sisy bar with rack for bag and other for long rides. Custom diy belting to chain and sprocket since the rear pulley is use up way faster than then belting and front pulley. Diy custom paint job using spray can(yeah SPRAY CAN). For parts, since the company that brought it in and assembled it is less than 50km away, its easy to ask and find parts for it. I also mix some parts from other bikes than doesn't effect the safety of the bike itself..

[@vaibhavkaushik2966]

@@maikal87 do you still have this bike? Procuring parts would be a problem now as Hyosung has halted it's operations in India?

[@Ashiorange]

Hi Guys, a little help. I am confused between Ninja 650R and this one! Though I like cruisers, I am really afraid of Hyosung's braking. my earlier GT650R got free brakes in traffic more than often and the HEATT! Now again this one gets me thinking if I should try Nina now? I ride almost everyday, height is 5'7 and weigh average. Also are 2013 Ninja 650 and Ninja 650R diff. bikes? If so, are they both available in India? Bajaj website says only 650R but I saw your review of 2013 Ninja 650!

[@powerdriftofficial]

Yes they can!

[@AshwinBelle]

Good job covering the tech-specs. Love the visuals! Keep at it.

[@nishant1857]

sexy review PD... Especially the beginning part...that was very innovative & interesting... Though I'd suggest to pump up the vocals by about 20-25% more & reduces the SFX by 10%...

[@scardigos]

Awesome review and video. Bought one, really love driving it, tottaly agree with our comment on the instrument console.

[@ajinpisharody]

PD back in action!!! But guys please work on ur audio (speech part)

[@kdeo294]

Lucky to have been on the path number 2 from d very beginning. Such cruiser. Very awesome. Unlimited wow.

[@ishankhare8960]

Watching this again in 2020 lockdown. Cant believe 5 lacks for a 650 was considered good value, that too 7 years ago. All hail Royal Enfield!!!

[@saiganesh6806]

Addicted to your reviews.....you guys rock !!!

[@soumyaghosh255]

The comment on the instrument console was like a kick in the gut.. :P

[@OneTakeEDC]

Finally PD is back and with a bang I must say..Keep up the great work !!!

[@pushprajpradhan]

that LED tail light

[@Zappytortoise1]

You guys need to let us hear the bike without music!

[@powerdriftofficial]

+Charlie Gerard we have a playlist full of exhaust notes just for that. Here's one - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoOVdmBoj5pmqa8

[@alitahir4147]

Guys great review great production quality. But the music is so loud I have trouble hearing your voice. Tone the music down a bit.

[@satyenpoojary]

All ears and yes, we will soon be doing something on those lines ;)

[@pranshul619]

i love the way you guys made rivews...most exciting no doubt....nd this is a big bad ass ..goosebumps

[@powerdriftofficial]

+Pranshul Tripathi And have you seen this - bit.ly/TheDhoomBike

[@pranshul619]

Hahahaahaa ....yeah its awesome...

[@gkvallabh]

Cool vid, only if you add the magic treat of PTR vids...sound wise!!! Otherwise an awesome vid :P

[@binsonthapa4862]

Its been almost 3 years and im still watching this video. Damn. But seriously guys this beast needs to be compared with a Harley street 750.

[@vaibhavkaushik2966]

I guess it is better than HD 750. From all the reviews I've seen of both.

[@shahminhajuddin]

If I am not wrong its the only Cruizer in the whole country offering twin disks to front considering its massive 74BHP of power for a 650cc?

[@powerdriftofficial]

We would like to, but I guess its too old for that now!

[@gautam9479]

Wooohoo .. exiting cruiser !!???

[@shockandawemarketing7528]

Gonna run this in the states and stack it up against all the HD!

[@powerdriftofficial]

You might turn quite a few eyeballs!

[@satyenpoojary]

Feedback taken, like we promised on our community, We will shift the recording room from bathroom to kitchen :P

[@samuelfernandes4105]

[@HumourusLAV]

Rohan really looks different here... Definitely prefer how he looks now 😂❤️

[@ananth224]

[@realguitarshredder]

[@powerdriftofficial]

And guess you saw it already ;)

[@andrericard0]

Top bike , nice test, perfect

[@Goryglory0209]

I want I want I want... Its a Slick looking Bike.. Good Review....

[@powerdriftofficial]

+tosin v Thank you. Hope you have already subscribed to our channel.

[@sudarshanshewale5466]

hey guys... I'm riding avenger220 from last 30 months... now want to upgrade. I have rode yamaha rx135, previously so I also like cafe racer and classics both. bt this made me puzzled to choose between um renegade commando, re STD 500 & continental gt...can u help me to pick up my next bull?

[@kshitijgenext]

Your safest bet is to wait for the Avenger 400 (with the detuned Duke 390 engine) or the recently launched Dominar. I've an Avenger 220 too, and there have been times I needed more power. Renegade's after sales isn't tested, STD 500 is too bulky and loud, GT does'nt offer comfort of a cruiser, cause it's a cafe racer.

[@techbag4730]

what do you guys think about it ... there is still no cruzer around this range ... should i buy it or not ...

[@shunjaruff]

Are you planning to review Hyosung ST7? waiting for it guys!!!

[@SrinidhiBn]

Please review Rajdoot 175.. i know the bike is no longer under production but still there are many who are interested in it to know more about it

[@powerdriftofficial]

Srinidhi Bn That would be a good pick but extremely hard to find for a review :(

[@UniverseOfThings]

Guys don't tell me that you didn't had a chance to review a Aquila 250 yet. Come guys there are tons of other reviews for it but I am awaiting yours eagerly. Please do it ASAP & for the black one please not white:)

[@powerdriftofficial]

+Nishant Ghosalkar Unfortunately we haven't had a chance to review the Aquila yet :(

[@drikareis1770]

Loved you review

[@ramaswamy45]

Guys at PD, Satyen, Sgt etc. Please make a video on Countersteering. Very few riders in India know about it. This technique is often ignored and seldom spoken about...

[@dangerm2156]

Guys Please also give the sound of the Bike...[every bike you reviews]

[@powerdriftofficial]

What would you like to hear comrade?

[@dangerm2156]

The exhaust sound of every bikes you reviews...Some people loves a particular bike for it's sound... :D

[@sreeharikt]

That's an awesome review

[@preetsvij]

Can you please put up a review for Harley Superlow vs Hyosung Aquila pro.....?! As it is a very heated discussion on many forums....

[@gothivineet]

Very cool looking bike..

[@markwright9962]

Starter for 2007 Hysong GV650

[@markwright9962]

No

[@markwright9962]

No

[@markwright9962]

I need a starter

[@valerossi223]

@Rishi- Those are Harley Davidson boots!

Boys, you certainly have an "audio" problem. Could not hear or understand the talking in the studio.

[@powerdriftofficial]

+Gaziantep Üniversitesi Have a look at our recent videos! ;)

[@ShivanshDev]

1:40 ye MUSE ki guitar riff churake kisne gana bana dia

[@visheshjoshi268]

which bike should i buy sports bike or a cruzer??

[@powerdriftofficial]

Cruisers can be quite comfortable over long distances,whereas sport-bikes are usually track focused. It depends on what your preference is.

[@visheshjoshi268]

PowerDrift i m interested to buy a cruiser but indian markets are more focusing on sports bike so i was doubting my decision

[@sohamsett]

I own a Aquila Pro

[@powerdriftofficial]

+Soham Sett And how has your experience been so far?

[@sohamsett]

+PowerDrift once it's radiator leaked but was changed by the company as it was under warranty

[@goswamidhaval]

Is there a speedo mod for this beauty??? I am planning to buy one but this speedo is like yuckkkk.....uhhhhhh....

[@arcanum70]

I don't see why you couldn't order an after market analog and swap it out. I've done that with bikes before.

[@powerdriftofficial]

+Dhaval Goswami There should be a few available online. A google search would help.

[@scrammy]

love these guys

[@jasongodwell5530]

I've got a 2006 GV250, it looks good, rides OK, neutral is a bitch to find. I wouldn't pay more than a couple thousand for one. They're cheap & ride like a cheap bike. You get what you pay for. I wouldn't pay retail price, buy one second hand with low K's. People who say parts are hard to find are full of shit, parts are cheap & very easy to find online.

[@powerdriftofficial]

+Jakes Daicos Thank you for the quick review!

[@jasongodwell5530]

PowerDrift No worries, I have still have the bike, it's still going strong, good little bike to get around the city. I've had no dramas on it yet.

[@arcanum70]

#25MillionOnPD Why? This was the first PD video that I ever watched (I was thinking of buying this bike), it led me to subscribe, and to become an American soldier in the #PDArmy.

[@powerdriftofficial]

+arcanum70 Wooohooo! We are absolutely glad to have you on board comrade. You have been an ardent fan :D

[@arcanum70]

It's been my honor.

[@wolverineyanson5474]

this bike is available in the philipines..?

[@googleuser8448]

In the usa they are called the gv650. The biggest mistake i ever made in my life was selling mine. I put 30,000 miles on mine and only had one issue. The rear brake kept sticking. Easy fix but i lost my job and had to move so i sold it😞 Biggest mistake ever!
