Thanks for posting Bern. Interesting read. I like the look of it.

No Prob's bud, always good to read a revue from a party with no vested interest (SLUK being more 'trad scooter' orientated) I reckon this could be a great machine, so long as the importer/dealer network is up to the job

I dont think the UK importer is up to the job, a lovely looking powerful scoot distributed by such a small importer ( Kymco healthcare) would worry me.

Kymco healthcare Mark is one of the biggest Healthcare company's in the world....think 4 wheel old age pensioner scooters plus all the etc-er-ers that go along with it...massif company...and owned and RUN by Kymco...

Well it loks and sounds superb. But if they could sell it for £7995 all in, even a tad less I think they would sell an aweful lot of them.

£7K to £7.5K would see them flying out I`m sure.

Anyone know what they knock out for abroad as we all know manufacturers call the UK treasure Island new cars and bikes price wise etc.

A good few after market parts on offer already so people must think they are going to do well.

Best Mark.

I'm in Italy at present and the are selling them on the road for 9,790 euros but you get 600 euros back if you scrap your old scooter. I will let someone do the conversion into sterling.

At the moment 1 euro = 0.88 pound ..... so £8585.22 less £526.16 scrappage = £= 8059.06

I just couldn't bring myself to spend 8-9K on a bike or scoot from one of the Big Four at the moment, which reflects my situation and mood with riding at my time of life.
I, simply, would never part with that amount of money on a Kymco; notwithstanding the apparent untested support/back-up here in the UK from the new importer.

Just a no-goer for me.

They really do need a bigger Margin from the T max price.

Also a gloss black option is real must too.

Best Mark.
