I think they should relaunch aquilla, which was a good bike and with a price which is easily affordable and which can give a equal fight for other brands .Ehteshamuddin.

Hyosung must introduce the naked version along with the racing version of the GT 250 if they want to compete with well known brands like Honda and Kawasaki. This will make the price competitive and the road to being known easier for Hyosung.
