Mumbai: With no drop in demand for its collector's item, the 250cc Aquila, Kinetic Engineering has announced that the third limited-edition Kinetic Aquila will be available for sale in select cities across India.

The smallest of Hyosung's two-wheelers (the Hyosung range is concentrated in the 500cc plus range of motorcycles) Aquila has been positioned as a "true" cruiser bike, fitted with a 250cc v-twin, oil cooled engine with 4 valves per cylinder. With an output of 26 bhp of power and a top speed easily crossing 130 kmph, the bike bears a price tag of Rs 1.75 lakh.

The company had brought 100 pieces of the Aquila for a one-time sale as a collector's item at a special price of Rs 1,50,000. However, the bike met with such an overwhelming demand that Hyosung was requested for a second batch. However, the Korean company was able to supply only another 40 pieces at a higher price. In all, there will be under 150 Kinetic Aquilas on Indian roads.
