SBF Kymco Downtown 125/200/300/350i Cafe 2013

Actually, it shouldn't be termed back rest, but more like bum rest.

 

They don't really support your back, to be honest. At most the upper hip. Haha.

 

Imagine from DT125i, then ride the Burgman 400, macham like only engine cc upgrade. Size and all, still largely the same. Haha.

 

MaxSYM 400i is good, but only if its cheap on the used market. Or else, will be waiting. Haha. I don't find any value in buying brand new and I don't wanna take the brunt of the most depreciation. Hehe. My current DT125i is an exception. =D

 

Xciting is seriously too sporty for me liao. Plus new engine, gotta give Kymco some time to iron out the problems. Personally, I don't think it's wise to get the first few batches, or should I say, for the first few months of production.

 

Don't be so eager to cut the cake.

Any pic to see how u mounted?

[Mannz]

FBF3XXX maybe somewhere in the Jan to March 2011? Just a wild guess. Now FBG already.

 

Wonder why sell so fast?

 

Exciting 400 quickly come!!!

 

The owner is not well n can't ride anymore, so surrender back the bike.

[Mannz]

New Xciting 400 looks sporty n very nice, by year end maybe in...hope the price should b nice oso haha...

[parotae]

Any pic to see how u mounted?

 

Too tired and too dark to take photo then. Tomorrow

I mounted it in the middle of the steering. I went with the option you don't like. Drilled 2 holes in the middle of the steering plastic

Just saw a removable option for the cage. If removable option is available, have to take out again and re mount.

[parotae]

Went with the option for a water bottle cage as while riding in Malaysia, thirsty but no water. If have water, cannot twist open the mineral water bottle cap.

 

Saw rider have the camelbak option where they carry the water bag on their back and sip through a tube. Too troublesome and need to clean and the strap i feel is uncomfortable and adding weight to body. How much do you want to drink? 1 to 2 liters?

Woa... I cant bare to do that lol... I wanted to take out the center holder and mount..but I need tt holder for stuff so I just scrapped the idea....

[parotae]

You can opt for the handle bar cage option.

But this can mount which part sia? All covered with plastic ma..

[BaMBiNo]

Just wondering bro why u dont mount on the mirror bolt?

[parotae]

Worry about vibration. Vibration turn out just as bad but look more symetrically mounted in the center and more stable.

[BaMBiNo]

Hmm...u got a point there...

[topgearalwaysrock]

Just realised that Kymco doesn't have good branding =(

 

Was at the Honda dealer here in USA, and Kymco here is just as cheap as KeeWay, and the other China branded scooters sold here, in the City/ State of Dallas, Texas. Spare parts support is poor too, with only a few dealers around this huge city.

 

And over here in the US, motorcycles are classified under "Recreational Vehicles", so the insurance, tax and all are different from cars. But true that, since USD8k buys a brand new SilverWing 600 here, but the same USD8k can get a pretty decent used sedan too.

 

5yrs ago while I was here, only huge Trucks and SUVs were on the road, with plenty of Hummer H2's. Now, it's a 50-50 mix of SUVs+Trucks and Sedan cars.

 

Motorcycles were a rarity 5yrs ago too. Now, it's getting more and more common on the roads here. Just goes to show how sensitive people around the world are to petrol (they call it gas here) prices. Gas Prices for regular are USD3.89/gallon, and Premium at USD4/gallon. 1US gal = 3.8L.

hmmm dun think so ba, it seem like i may need car more often soon , that y thinking of letting her go, further more, i NV travel to Malaysia de....on my own transport.

 

btw xciting is a perfect bike for me to travel locally, just that family commitment,...... that y think ing to let her go instead of let her rot in the multi-storey carpark

Fc:29.3km/l

Top speed ever try is 140km/h dare not go higher liao (but hear from kymco guys that it can reach 150km/h)

For Cornering is good, it will not have issue of scratching any plastic( for those who love cornering)
