Comment
By far the best looking sporty 250 you can buy new
in Australia. If you're image bias just replace the decals
with some other name or even remove them completely no-one but the
anal will be the wiser. Some great top range specs like upside
down forks, adjustable footrest and 2 front discs makes it statement
as a modern motorcycle. Very large fuel tank for its class.
Change the mufflers and you've got Ducati-ish sound to boot. It is
unfortunate that is shares the engine and gear box with the cruiser
version which means its not the fastest thing on in tis class.
As for the design well its probably what the
Japanese would have done if they still made new sporty models in
this class -which they don't. So I guess you could call the
GT250R class leading as a result.

Comment
Unfortunately Hyosung just like all other
manufacturers have designed it in an Harley-ish format (I think they
call it custom bikes these days). It
doesn't fool anyone because everyone knows what Harleys sound like.
I wish they tried to improve on the basic design like what Honda have
done and indeed what they did to the GT version.
As it stands the Aquila is
probably
a good bike if you can live with it's
