aquila 125...advice needed.......

[tma]

Hi guys...

am pretty new to the forum and singapore...have some 4-5 yrs of riding experience...was planning to buy a second hand bike...thou phantom TA200 is my top option,, i saw a hyosung aquila 125 in the forum up for sale..2004 model...i understand FC is pretty ordinary..but otherwise how is the maintenance cost, spare parts availability etc? Anybody here who owns/owned one, would be grateful for your advice....thnx

I rode an Aquila 250 before,same chassis as the 125cc.. Superb engine! pretty good FC,I get 30km/l for it.. Not sure about the 125cc.. pretty good bike i would say if your're ok with the looks.. But poor rear braks and bouncy rear shocks turned me off.. Very poor resale value and parts are hard to find.. Odd tyre size as well,rear replacement(quality ones) hard to find..
