Great video, loved the content! Keep up the good work!

A very fair and accurate review. I am in my late fifties and bought one of these for a year to get myself back into biking. I LOVE it. It has a size and presence that most 125's lack, it's a chunky, really attractive machine which is larger than almost any other 125. I'm 5'11", and the bike is comfortable. The V-power delivery is amazingly smooth, forgiving and relaxing; a friend of mine has a Honda 125 and it feels like riding a hairdryer compared with the Hyosung. It's well made, too -- much better than most rattly Chinese 125's -- Hyosung is a big engineering concern in South Korea, land of KIA, Hyundai and Samsung. I love the bike and highly recommend it. I'll be trading it in soon for something bigger, but I will look back nostalgically on my year with this lovely, solid-feeling bike.

That’s a gorgeous looking bike! Great review as always chaps.

I would go for the Hyosung as its almost clone of Honda VT125 shadow as where the highway star 125 from AJS is really untested as it was brought out to replace 3 of AJS cruiser types the DD125 the Daytona and the EOS125. which all had their problems problems mainly with their electrics with the exception of the DD125 which reached the MK4 version where AJS had ironed almost all of the issues out of this model then discontinued it for the highway star. AJS also doesn't have a vtwin engine ive ridden both the highway star and the aquila and the highway star is underpowered for its wet weight.or consider finding a used honda VT125 shadow for sale as the owners of these bikes generally keep them in very good condition and if well looked after keep a good resale value when you chose to move up to a big bike.

Hi its 23cm x 18cm! On my Harley I've got a 15cm x 10cm. Not legal but 500% safer!

I can’t help but wonder how Hyosung can still make a cracking V twin 125 and get it through euro4 emmisions and the other manufacturers can’t. We all know the answer: it’s all about cost and most people move on from the learner legal bikes fairly sharpish. What if though Hyosung changed that engine around a little, made it a long stroke V twin 125 tuned more for a steady 50-55 mph without having to ring its neck everywhere. Surely then you would appeal to young and old. A torquey great sounding 125 which actually feels relaxed at those speeds. Get to work Hyosung. You’ve got a gap in the market to fill and with that combination you’ll smash it out the park! Just my thoughts Scoots

I had a hyosung for 3 years - and in south wales uk where it pisses down constantly, and she still looked awesome when I sold her to get a bigger bike. They are far superior to China bikes! The only thing I thought was cheap in it was the trim sticker on the tank and mud guards.

For me a 125 is a little too small. 250cc is usually about right. I think if I owned one I might be tempted to fit a less restrictive exhaust to get a little of that v-twin sound.

Engin Palit I guess ideally flat but tiptoes is ok. The other option is to get shorter springs for the suspension to lower it a bit, but that’s costly. Once you sit on it though, it will compress a bit so may well be ok

That's not true you could get a hardknock kikker 125 or 250 and they are amazing, and we cant get them here lol

had so many problems with it. 2 years on and it sits in the garage, still haven't finished my payments for it. it is a nice bike but it suffers from a few things. wiring is one, scarce or non-existent spare parts, no shop in my area are even considering looking at fixing it. had so many wiring issues, which I managed to fix.... now it doesn't start at all. finally found a suitable battery, but I'm sceptical it will ever start again... mirrors are crap, have to be replaced once you buy the bike, as you can't see anything in them, no matter how tall or wide you are. right leg uncomfortable due to that async air cover thing. love/ hate relationship with her tbh..... but for close to 4k from new, to be already out of service after 2 years is not a lot of return for your investment. I will go back to the classic japanese marauder, shadow or intruder etc, as at least you know what to expect.... anyone buying a 2 year old Hyosung Gv125S? only 2900 miles on it, looks and feels like new!

I was expecting to see nice good looking small cc cruiser like this from Honda not a brand like Hyosung. Yes its like a mini Harley 883 but its definatley the best looking 125 cruiser to date. Hyosung surely have a better design team then honda, there new honda rebels 300 and 500 are fugly as hell. The one big draw back that i see in this hyosung is the weight, for 165kg the engine needs to be at least a 250cc or a 300.

Sam Counsell Power wise; all 125’s are the same so it’s down to style, type and looks. This like a bigger bike in most respects so it would be at least as good as any 125 for distance. It’s very stable and easy to ride. You’d find it hard to get a better bike.

To put things in perspective. Chopper means take original factory bike. Cut frame to stretch for longer forks. Bobber. Came before choppers. ALL UNNECESSARY CRAP REMOVED but frame untouched. So original factory bike with low bars and stepped seat. It's a sit up and beg retro commuter tourer. Honestly. Save your money. Go direct access with rented bikes. Then chase your dreams.
