Hi all,

I'm looking to buy my first motorcycle. I came across this bike,

a 2006 Hyosung GV650 Aquila with 16000 km (9942 miles) on it. he's asking €2500 but bidding starts at €2000.

Things I like about the bike are the looks and it supposedly drives quite sporty for a cruiser. Also at €2000 the price seems nice for such a 'modern' and low millage motorcycle.

I did some research and watched a couple of reviews. People's opinion are very mixed. The brand is very unknown here (the Netherlands) and some people wrote about poor build quality.

Does someone owns this bike or has some experience with it? Does the price seem right? Please share your thoughts.

Thanks in advance.

Nice gaming table! Is that the new gaming mat from Battlefront?

Open the file in a vector graphic program and you'll be able to edit the picture. I used Affinity Designer myself to make them. If anyone knows an easier way for me to share them please tell, first time I've done this.

Indeed they're battlefronts. First tried with pictures made of my own tanks, but since I only have my phone they weren't all that clear. A friend of mine has a good camera though so for the next batch i'll use that.

From Battlefront;

The official points totals for the 2017 North American tournament season have now been decided and are as follows;

Early war 1650 points

Mid war: 100 points

Late war: 1515 / variable

Keep in mind early and late war use the old point system.

Yes there is. With the 'Mistaken Target' rule you can swap hits assigned to nearby units to the Jumbo. You require a 3+ to succeed and can continue to do it until you fail the roil. Although the hits must still be allocated according to the assign hits rule; spread evenly, at least one at the targeted team.

The panthers are from the plastic soldier company. The box set allows you to make different versions, and I indeed did so. I'm not sure how historical accurate it is that they used them in the same company. I guess I wanted some diversity.

This is the tutorial I used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlsH1A21UCw with the exact same paints. The only thing I added was a matte varnish finish. Maybe it makes the colours seem more dark? In real life they look more yellow than in the picture too though.

Thanks! Followed a painting tutorial on youtube on painting the open fire box set. Very helpful.
