First bike - brand new Honda Shadow (150cc) or a 2012 Hyosung Aquila (250cc)

[Khan12]

Hi,

Just looking at buying my first bike. I posted here before, and established that Hyosung is better than a Keeway.

Round two (I'll be buying later this week) is a Hyosung Aquila 2012 or a Honda Shadow 2018. Both are similar prices, and the Hyosung has only done 6500kms.

I need a commuter, but I want to have a bit of speed. I've been assured the 150cc will get me around and go the distance, but not quickly. And for just over $3000 (all inclusive) a near-new Hyosung 250 is a good deal and will certainly fit the category of commute and distance.

Any help will be appreciated. I don't want to waste my money on naivety.

I would not recommend a cruiser style as a first bike - but then - if that's your thing go with the 250 ..

Did 25,000 km in 20 months on my Hyosung GV250 learner cruiser - go the Hyosung!
