Hello every one my name is Pat,

I live in South Australia and work on the north side of Adelaide and live in the south so spend about 2 hours a day commuting. I have easy access to the hills roads and vast areas to explore further north, east and west.

On the first of March 2006 I bought a 2006 Hyosung Aquila GV650L (the L is for learner approved, de-rated about 60%). I paid $11,000AU for it delivered with 12 months registration and compulsory insurance, all taxes paid, 2 approved full-face helmets and the full power upgrade kit (2 new carburettor slides).

I loved the look of the bike but bought it after comparing to the offerings of Honda Yamaha Suzuki and Kawasaki in the under 810cc cruisers. I wanted a comfortable easy care machine to ride when I wanted therefore I didn't want chain drive, I don't want the hassle of lubing a chain every week and the noise annoys me.

Kawasaki was chain drive so I looked no further into that model. The GV650 was way ahead of the others on equipment, wide low profile tyres, 3 disc brakes, adjustable inverted forks, 4 valve heads, 71 horsepower great standout looks with perimeter frame and loads of chrome. I could also get the LAMS (Learner Approved Motorcycle Scheme) version and up rate it to the full 71 horses easily. I could see the LAMS version would be easier to sell when I want to sell and get my next bike. The GV650 was about $1500AU cheaper than the next nearest bike, the Yamaha XVS650 which had only about 40 horsepower, then the Honda I thought was a bit funny looking and the engine about 51 HP the Suzuki was nice to look at but the price was highest and once again the power was down on what I would expect from a 805cc engine.

Before I picked up my GV650 I joined a few other forums, one on Yahoo was a marketing tool, another was a dictatorship and one relating to the GV250 is email based and I got fed up with reading the same message over and over. But then a friend told me about Pride in what you ride! I've been here a little while and I love it.

Here is my bike as it stands now,

Hello everyone my name is George.(OBXBIKER)

I live in OBXLAND. Which is in referance to the Outer BanXs of North Carolina. This is a chain of barrier islands just off the east coast of the USA. The weather here is fairly mild year round so it is possible to ride all the time.In the winter it gets down to around 30 degrees f. and in the summer up in the upper 90's. It is a rare event to get any snow. However it is very windy here. That's why 100 years ago the Wright bro's came here to fly the first airplane.
We do every year have the threat of hurricanes but have had much better luck then other places recently. The last "MAJOR" devistation was back in the 1950's.(LOL...that was when I was born...sigh...)

WHERE I LIVE AND RIDE.....OBXLAND.


and..............................................

THE RIDE to OCACOKE ISLAND, getting there is most of the fun


Have riden bikes as a hobby my whole life, to many styles and models to list.
Retired here 5 years ago but got bored so went back to work. Work about 30 min. from where I live...the first 15 min. are 2 lane twistys 35-45 mph.,the last 15 min. a straight 5 lane road 50 mph. loaded with very dangerous "rubbernecking" tourist who make last second desisions on what they do. Just lost a riding friend last week.

I have the MIGHTY VENOX. Got my first one 3 years ago and still have it dispite getting a second one last sept. My first one am planning to "BOB-IT" and change the look from the traditional "BAGGER" that it currently has.When I ordered the first one (sight unseen) was just expecting a little 250cc commuter for the beach....WOW was I suprised when I uncrated and rode it the first time !!!

You would never know it's only 250cc from the way it looks and performs. Have taken it on many long distance solo trips and have never had it let me down...

This is a photo of my second Venox...

Hey, My name is Douglass(Pops). I live in Amarillo Texas, I have been riding
since the mid 60's. I currently own a 05 Kymco Venox. After being a part time
mechanic I got one for myself. I got tired of working on eveybody else's bike
I wanted one of my own. I have ownwd or ridden every thing from a Honda 305
scrambler, to blown Top Fuel Harley's. During riding season my son and I ride the
Venox all the time. Sometimes my truck doesn't move for weeks. We have a lot of
wonderful roads to ride out here. I hope you enjoy your stay here, this is a very friendly group of people who ride. I have been some other groups but this is the only one that feels good. Have fun and enjoy.

Murs - June 14, 2006 01:37 PM (GMT)
Hello, my name is Muriel, but all my friends call me Murs.

I was born in Belgium, but have lived in California since I was six, so I guess you can consider me a native Californian. I live in the Palm Springs area, in Rancho Mirage.

I just got my first bike, a Kymco Venox 250 and I love it! I was originally thinking of getting a Honda Rebel but after riding both the Rebel and the Venox during the MSF course I was sold on the Venox.

You'll love this forum, a lot of great information and great people willing to lend a hand. Since this is my first bike and I'm an unexperienced rider this place has been my savior!

AmishCrackDealer - June 19, 2006 08:09 PM (GMT)
Hello everyone. My name is Dave although I am known in the forums as the Amish Crack Dealer. I am 34 and live in Mobile, Alabama USA (on the Gulf Coast). Weather here is terrific and allows me to ride all year, although we had some 40 degree weather this winter :P

I have been riding for 3 years. 2 1/2 of those years involved extensive modifications to my bikes. I have 4 bikes now. My favorite is my GV650 chopper.

I am sure you will find more information on this forum than at any dealership in the world. We are not afraid to share knowledge, humor, and photos so feel free to jump in. There are no stupid questions around here.

Enjoy the forums and make yourself at home.
