If you want a Harley or a idnian but you too young get this.

10 years ago today i rode out of my local dealer on a brand new 125 Aquilla. After a year on a 50cc moped damn if i didnt feel like easy rider.

This is the perfect bike to learn on if your not gunna spend the rest of your days riding with your ass higher than your head.

Turns great, handles well, breaks are good and it aint as heavy as you think by the sight of it.So easy to grind the pegs on this bike.

Gets to 70mph if you wait long enough and have a tail wind but has enough tourqe to tow a Hyndai s-coupe around a level car park.

The engine sound is, well its terrible. It sucks so bad. Probably because its a small odd V engine. It sounds nothing like any cruiser you can think of unless the idle is turned way down and the engine is cold then it kinda sounds like what it looks like but other than that just so bad.

Im 6 2 and built like barn door and the bike was a little to small. Not uncofortable just looked and felt a little small. Nice ride though and the seat was good enough.Although full disclosure i ride a indian chief now and its just big enough so dont judge it to harshly by what i said about size i aint small.

Tough litte bike too. I got rear ended twice and the lights and the bike was fine other than a dent in the tank. Not sure about how long it lats though, a year after i had some mental ditz side swiped me into a traffic island at 50mph and just destroyed the bike. Total loss.

One thing i will say. Now 10 years later i drive tuned Chief that is stupid fast and stupid heavy.If she losst a little weight she could be drag bike although i wouldnt recomend telling any chick she needs to lose weight.I wouldnt be alive today the way i ride on the raged edge if i hadnt learned to ride on the Aquilla first. It set me up for life to ride big heavy bikes way faster than they should be ridden. i have been riding for 10 years.Never had a at fault acident, only gone down 3 times, all 3 were while i was learning on this bike.My tough little 125 sacrficed herself to teach how god damn stupid car drivers are and thanks to her im alive to bend the needle on 1800cc cruiser.

Now im not saying to do this but, this bike doest look like a 125 so the cops will never hassle you for not have L plates and having your girl ride bitch.Done both for a year and never got pulled.

If Indian,Harley,Victory etc is where your heading this is the best place to start.
