Another fellow xciting 300 owner says Kenda surprisingly good. He use to ride Super4.
Check with Motorsport if got any up coming outing. You maybe able to try top speed.
From now until 3 Nation Charity Ride may not have any program.
Wanted to go for 3 Nation Charity ride but was told smallest cc is 750 and not advisable to go because their average speed is 130km/h and therefor suggested that it's not a good idea as bike stress running at near limit and that rider will be indirectly stress out from the engine noise.
As going in big convoy, not advisable. Small group to Thailand is fine.

Was at Ah Boy JB ytd 10pm - 3:30am. Happening place!! I've never seen a whole street of workshop open till early morning!!! Haha.
But too bad, the accessories are only for bikes, and not really for scooters. =(
Got stuck in the terrible jam at Checkpoint also for 1hr. Sian.
They selling the same Acerbis hand guard as mine for Rm195!!!! Bell and Arai full gloves for Rm 60, hand grips from Rm 35....

The problem with jb. Chiong 1 or nt...
But I realise, their service really slow. Just a simple change of engine oil, can take 30mins. Haha. So actually, not really worth to go over to service. But if wanna mod, of course JB shiok lah (speaking for bikes where they have spare parts for).
Their one bottle of Shell engine oil is Rm19.
Engine oil filter for Yamaha is Rm15.

Exactly. There's once someone mention, eh the bike accessories shop (Sell jackets, helmets and etc...) across the road got Alpine Gloves very cheap. Full glove in sin like over $150, the shop only sellRM100. So curious i went over and see.
Wah really $100 but Chey.....chiong one. Give me free i also won't wear. Wait wear a few times gloves tear ha ha.
Can use lah but why compromise on quality especially it's for safety.
Malaysia boleh what. Haha.
Don't laugh at fakes. Good quality Grade A fakes from China are better than real one hor. Don't play play. Hehe.
However, when it comes to their business ethics, that's another discussion altogether. But seriously, who can live without Made-In-China these days? It'll be too ridiculously expensive if that were so.

I never mod my bike at all. top speed 130km/h. The bike wobble a bit when above 100km/h. But so far I think is good. But if there are strong wind coming from the side can be quite dangerous... version 2 is very nice. I saw that a few days back..
But I prefer scooter... sportsbike is not good for the hands and the balls in the long run.. haha..
Get wiser as each day passes...
Kongfu Panda lol.......Mr Kongfu Panda, tomorrow you go MS change oil hor.
Do update us on any trips by MS and ask about the Xciting 400 ok.
Herbet says they are going to Malacca for a 1 night stay in Nov. and if wanna go gotta let him know quick cos he don't know if any room left bo..
But I was thinking what can we do in Malacca??? Been there before and it doesn't really interest me leh...if you going let me know k? am still considering. He say for day trip can always organise go in and have seafood lol...
As for our long waited Xciting 400, sorry dude no news at all. Dunno wtf is taking this taiwanese to announce leh...maybe they really rectifying or attempting to make the bike even better? Anyway its tested and proven to be more powerful than the 300 lor....estimated date now will be year end
What interest me when I was there is the pair of carbon rear view mirror with LED. Certainly look very nice lol..
Ya so means to say they have to cut the shape of the 125 logo before they paste or paste liao then cut the shape? Otherwise cant think of any idea how they do it man... Maybe get it done when I change to xciting 400...depends on how the bike look in my eye then lol
Erm, yup. Haha. They stick the whole sticker on the whole fender, then cut off the shape of the 125i logo. It's not take out the 125i logo, stick the whole fender, then stick back the 125i logo. The 125i logo is some heavy duty sticker. Very hard to prise off....

Whoa Lao!! How can Xciting 400 be worse than Xciting 300?? That's why, those who are waiting for this scoot (I reckon not many in the first place), will have to wait longer and longer lor. Haha!
All the best to those who are waiting for Xciting 400!

Yay! Finally have one Used Majesty 400 Reg 2006 on sale in SBF bikemart for S$5.2k.
But when I call up if they can do trade in with my DT125i, they say flatly that they don't want Kymco. I was like.... Ok....
The fact that any bike shop wanna take in Kymco is good liao, nvm the value.... Sian man.

Lol...so sad man...but honestly I have learn to accept the fact that no single cylinder scoot can b compared to the twin of SW. In that sense, Kymco is not too far off any of the single cylinder scoot out there.
Yes, resale price sucks but if you ride it for more than 5 years shd be ok la...hopefully more ppl will begin to accept that actually it's not a bad scoot after all just like what ppl think of SW initially. That said, I'll most probably be switching to the Xciting 400 lol...To me now, it's either back to SW or Xciting 400. I see no point in trying out any other single cylinder scoot and having to spend more unless u talking bout SYM, the jap made price is simply crasy. SW at least is worth it cos of the twin other than that why spend more on something similiar when u can get it at a lower price.
My 0.002 cents tho..
@ parotae
Ask me to check then disappear? lol....
Was there this morning again. I found out it is orgainsed by a company for their 30th annivesary and a total of about 100 bikes/scoots(might be less) is participating.
Based on this alone, it really tempted me to go not bços of the destination but being able to ride in a big big convoy is something i wud like to experience lol...I'll most probably be signing up for it...
Lol. But single cylinder is easier for maintenance. But of course, if you want smoothness, the more cylinders the better. Gives less strain to the engine.
I'm guessing the BMW Scoots will launch first before the Xciting 400. Haha. BMW first shipment coming Oct....

I no disappeared leh. Sorry forgot to reply ha ha. Thanks for the info. Try to go lah, see can squeeze in or not. 2 day 1 night i think.
Got see Myroad 700 there this morning?
Sorry I missed your post. You'll have to google in Chinese to get detailed info on any of the Taiwanese brands. The sales guy (Ah Yong) at Kymco first alerted me to the differences. Did my own research over the last few months. The Xciting is a totally different beast to the DT.
It's the start of the raining season now.... Pls ride safely in the rain!!

Aiyah! No ABS. Saw a vid on YouTube with 2 downtown side by side on wet track. ABS really is something.
Painted wet surface also can stop, no ABS already buang far far away already.
Ya. Trust the boss to say ABS model will be too expensive. KNN!! The scoot without ABS he already mark up so high liao.

Lol....that's a good 1
Ya will convince my wife to go...but hor I nid visa from my mom lor cos she's looking after my kids.
A new Myroad you mean? No leh... only saw Herbert's myroad in servicing nia...
No problem la bro..
Hmmm...I hate reading in chinesebut will google for it thx alot!
Ya. It's totally a different thing and the more I look at it the more I can't wait for it to arrive our shore lol..
Wa lao... I just got caught in the rain and my 7 years old raincoat simply cannot liao la....
Wanted to get the Drymaster Storm Jacket for dual purpose but they run out of green color. Does Anyone know beside Motoworld where can we get RS product. Even online store is fine if they are trust worthy. Thx alot!
ABS is good but I don't like the feeling when activated lol...
How much different in price for xciting 300RI with ABS?
Sorry Bro but MS did not bring in the ABS version for 300.
Forgot to check with Herbert if he's bringing in for the 400 tho.
No luh. I nvr say I wanna buy BMW scoot. I just say BMW gonna bring in their scoot earlier than Kymco Xciting 400.... Haha!!Now that you know their scoot's engine is mfg n provided by Kymco, would you wanna spend so much to buy?
And the engine is still developed partly by BMW, just made with "Taiwanese experience", which is strange considering Kymco don't even sell MyRoad 700 in bulks....

I think it goes to show how good/reliable kymco is for the germans to want to partnership with them.
Prolly cos Kymco marketing concept is wrong???
Thanks.
What is the FC diff between 300 and 400? I heard from MA they can email to Kymco Taiwan and order the bike that we wanted.
Like this can request ABS or not?. Maybe ask MA...
Wah the feeling damn shiok. You must over come the fear. Vibration is fun.

Not exactly. I think BMW just wants to partner with a company that has experience in scootering first, as it's the first time BMW is stepping into scooter segment. As for reliable or not, only time will tell. But from what I'm experiencing, Taiwanese still have some way to go to match the Japanese when it comes to reliability.
Not that Kymco marketing is wrong. But big cc maxi scooters simply don't have a universal market. Honda has the SilverWing 600 and Suzuki Burgman 650, but they aren't doing well. People around the world rather buy big cc motorbikes than scooters.
As for Singapore, it all boils down to our local importer and distributor of Kymco - MotorSports as to how they want to market Kymco locally, and actually in the region also.

As far as biz. ethics is concern, I don't think Kymco will release any of their bike to anybody other than MS since they are the appointed distributor.
However, just like parallel import, anyone can just get the bike from any agent in taiwan so that's the difference.
As for ABS, I think MS might get it in if they feel the market is there or maybe can request them to? I can check it out for you since I'm going down most prolly on Monday and will update here.
Your bike is equipped with ABS? Ya can consider the ABS version if MS bring it in.
You could be right but as far as what I look at, even if they wanna tap into the scoots market with a company, they have to belief in or trust that the company they work with are up to the mark. Given their name, I don't think they would want to come up with a scoot that would tarnish their reputation right? So the company they choose to work with is very important as well.
The partnership to me show that BMW have at least some point of confidence in Kymco. Or maybe their proposal was rejected by the japs so much so that they have to turn to the KMT island?
It could or could not since I believe Kymco factory is in the south whereas the northern part of TW is more badly hurt?
When i first saw the speed sensor ring at the front i was like wah OTR $12K ok what some more ABS.
Then talk talk with Mr Herbert about to buy i ask about the ABS then he say don't have. I jaw dropped, What! Bo ABS! Then how come got speed sensor ring infront? He say that one is speed sensor. I thought i pickup bull horse lan. Aiyah, no choice already, just buy loh and pay deposit, then the Maxsym a few days later appear at MAH. Haiyah, LL loh.
All and all it's also a blessing i got Kymco, get to go trips with MS, got to know people who ride similar scooters and also people who i am enjoying trips up north with. So machine aside, all's good Lol. Machine also good lahha ha.
Lol...I think not too many shops like to bring in ABS version cos demand is still not high. But gradually more n more ppl will b aware of the importance n advantage of ABS la.When i first saw the speed sensor ring at the front i was like wah OTR $12K ok what some more ABS.
