Hello to all from the glorious (but not today sadly) Isle of Wight, UK.
I’m now 62. I was a rider of bikes in my youth, culminating in a Yamaha RD250, but have returned to biking wanting something a little less ‘highly strung’ so chose an Aquila GV650 which is much more suitable for a gent my age. I’ve had my eye on it for at least ten years and thought I’d better do it now or never. Incredible value for money and a great looking bike! People are paying more than twice as much for mopeds from the 70’s and 80’s – crazy! It’s a bit on the heavy side perhaps after such a long sojourn, but I am enjoying the feeling of freedom I had in my youth that motorbiking brings.
Ride safely

Welcome Andrew,
You made the right choice with the GV650- Looks good, and it is a cruiser but a bit sporty
- Vtwin , but can sling shot away at full throttle if you want to!
- Big girl
- Heavy as you said, but keeps you planted on the road
- Comfy position to ride.
I have to say i haven’t been to Isle of wight , but i am all the way up north of england. However you being at the southern most of UK, you should have better sunny temps than the cold north , enjoy it while you can and the sea scenery!
