About Hyosung
Founded in 1978, Hyosung began its journey through a technical partnership with Suzuki, which provided a solid foundation for their engineering standards. By the early 2000s, the brand transitioned to producing its own designs, becoming a key player in the "bang-for-your-buck" segment of the market. Hyosung is particularly noted for being one of the few manufacturers to offer a full-sized 650cc V-twin engine in both naked and fully-faired sportbike configurations at a highly competitive price point.
Technically, the "Comet" (GT) series and the "Aquila" (GV) cruisers are the backbone of the brand. The 650cc 90-degree V-twin engine is a versatile powerplant, featuring DOHC and four valves per cylinder, known for its punchy mid-range torque. Hyosung has also made strides in the small-capacity market with their 125cc and 250cc V-twins, which provide a "big bike" feel and sound for learner riders. This database provides comprehensive technical data for the Hyosung range, including engine performance figures, curb weights, and the suspension specs that define their robust handling characteristics. For riders looking for V-twin character without the premium price tag, Hyosung’s specifications offer a compelling look at South Korean mechanical capability.
