Their 125 standard bike is fourteen hundred quid on the road, and is every bit as good as the nearest Yamaha, (the YBR125), for not far off half the price, (although I've just checked their website and they seem to have removed all but the Zing from the UK list!).
Not sure what Kymco think they're doing at the moment, but they certainly can't be selling much of anything.
i didnt want to diss the downtown 125 but i think its overpriced if its going to try and get a foothold in the UK market. its only a couple of hundred quid less than Honda, Yamaha etc In my opinion if the downtown was £3k that would be more realistic. I like the super 8 125 but i didnt get one because you cant fit a topbox onto it and it cant hold a full helmet under the seat but i think its good value, as is the agility city 125!
