Kawasaki J300

A dealer has put prices on their website. No mention of ABS option though.

For reference, Kymco list the Downtown 300 (no ABS) at £3999.

This Kym-Kwak (?) could just be my next scooter.

Seems a good price to me.

Down this way a lot of SYM dealers were tacked onto Kawasaki dealerships because they weren't in direct competition. Now that's changing...
Kymco seem to have applied some of the "Art of War" strategies - attributed to Sun Tzu - for their commercial advantage here in the UK.

Any idea what you get for your extra £200 in the 'SE' model?? I must admit I like the idea of the scoot, though buying a new one for my commute would be rather extravagant.

And its got to be a 'Kymosaki' !!!

Green paint!

Essential as it's a Kawasaki. (well, badged as one ). The silver and black ones are too plain and so you might as well get the Kymco original (if they offer ABS on the Downtown, that is).

You have to admit, the Kawasaki will have a certain coolness to it that a Sym or Kymco won't.

Unless either you or Jeremy Clarkson buys one that is!

True. I imagine the Kawaski name will keep used prices a little higher too.

Mystique is the word I guess - the idea that somewhere deep within a humble commuter scoot, something of the DNA of a ZX10R may exist - even if its biological parents were actually Kymco, and Kawasaki adopted it!

There again, some diehard Kawasaki owners are probably choking on their pints and considering selling their sportsbikes as their brand has now been 'contaminated' by them selling a scooter!

Kawasaki have been selling scooters for years, just not here.
