Yup, having lost a (smal) shirt on the 250 I'm just thankful that I didn't buy a new Aquila 650!!!!bikerbaker wrote: ↑Thu Dec 27, 2018 4:09 pmI can see how people might be drawn into owning one. A localish dealer had 2 unregistered 650s in red and silver earlier this year at £2995, they looked good to me, very much like the old model SV650S which is old hat now but I like (obviously).
I was in my 3rd year of self imposed exile, riding an auto scooter because of my carked knee, when I bought the Comet 250 for my lad.
The 650 Hyosung Aquila looked the absolute dog's danglies, with an impressive spec that seemed to match its great looks. It was going to be my next bike.
The sheer atrociousness of the 250 made me look at the Aquila in a much more critical light ... as in seeing it at the end of a very long barge pole!
I bought another Harley instead!
