Swing 125 rider but may have to upgrade

Post by **Generalpurpose** » Fri Jul 10, 2015 2:18 am

Hi all. I have been tempted as I can get hold of a low mileage kymco Downton 300 and trade in my swing plus a bit of cash.
I will go for a ride on the kymco and than decide. I do get a bit fed up with my little swing 125 on the 30 miles of motorway I do behind lorries. I wish often to have that little bit more power and I think a 300cc maxi like the kymco will provide me that...

has anyone got any experience good or bad with a 2013 kymco Downton 300?

I got a forza 125 again for a couple of days and will try it on my commute to see how I get on. I do like the scooter a lot. .

Is it worth going for another 125 ?

i will be as honest as i can now... if you live any where near Kent then if i was looking.. i would get myself down to see this beauty... more than adequate for any type of journeys... comfy and great torque engine
giving its a 400cc. and power delivery at half the revs your used to. at Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£3600 its a steal... i should not be showing you this, but it wont be around for long, only 2000 miles and two services done.
ok here we go.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201386171240? ... EBIDX%3AIT

Or a brand new Maxsym 400 ABS can be had for the same price as a Forza 125....
