Tester's Notes: India's first ever V-Twin offers sufficient power and great flexibility for a 250cc. Cruising speeds in the region of 90-100kmph, the Aquila keeps it going mile after mile Visually impresses with dimension playing on the cruiser image to the hilt; clever use of chromed platic.Fuel efficient plant enhances package Pricing is spot on for the Indian market considering that the bike is much more expensive in international markets.
