[MR.ROBERT YU]

HI , i rode a exciting 300i for 8 months and i trade in for downtown 300i and been riding it for 2 years.

oil change at 5000km , 1.5 ltr of synethic oil is needed , cost of oil and labour is $40.00

1 no . of spark plug at $5.00 is change every 5000km

belt and roller change at 35000km, cost about $300++ ( i have not yet change it on my bike)

Downtown bikes is good for it fast pick up , top speed is at 140kph. the bike dont really gave me problem .Check it out with MOTOR SPORT if you have further queries. They will be more happy to answer all your queries.

Hi! Just got a DT125i. Am sold on the huge exterior outlook, and practical storage space.

 

Not a lot of power obviously, but it has a very comfortable ride. Will be noting down the good servicing people, and fuel consumption.

[Fusionjaz]

Brought Downtown 300 to Malacca last weekend.

It has the torque which helps a lot when overtaking vehicle while we transit on the highway

[paithorn]

Bike OTR approx $12k Why dun you call them up to check on min payment? Instead of people plucking numbers for you here.

 

Likewise for insurance. All depends on what coverage, your age, your riding experince etc.

 

Road tax $86 per year for 300i

[paithorn]

Fusionjaz, welcome to the club! Did you buy from MS?

[Fusionjaz]

1st virgin ride to Malacca, not use to the sitting position

[Fusionjaz]

The torque it produce helps a lot when I over took vehicle.

Very spacious under seat storage.

[paithorn]

Yup...compared to SW, it lost out to the sitting posture, leg room, vibration, pilliom foot pegs.

 

It win on the FC, looks, torque(maybe? cos I was riding SW600 which gives very good pick up as well)

[Fusionjaz]

The downtown offers a much more up right riding posture compare to SW. I over come the back breaking task by wearing a back support for long distance travel. If they(Kymco) redesign the leg position for the next generation of Downtown, it may invite more attention to this scooter.

 

As for vibrations, I didn't feel as much vibrations during the ride. FC… is a Wow.

[paithorn]

The Myroad 700i has better leg room. And it is SW400 price. That's why I was telling all to have a look.

[Fusionjaz]

Have u tried out myRoad 700…?

 

Herbert lend me his myRoad for a spin. I love the electronic suspension system. It really works especially when I toggle to soft mode on bumpy roads. The torque was superb, I think if I can bring the machine on the NSHW, it can easily maintain 180km/h.

[IXIO]

Thanks paithorn. I'm newbie here, still have a lot of things need all of u advise and info.

[Fusionjaz]

[hoea]

Hi to all Kymco members,

Advise needed what is the difference betwween the downtown 300 or exictiing 300 thinking of changing could not dicide which one to go for.Thanks

[MR.ROBERT YU]

exciting 300 have a better leg room ( you can stretch your leg all the way ) FC about 32/33km per litre. engine is honda technology, fine and smooth. engine oil is only 1 litre. Siting posture is good for long distance.

downtown 300 , restricted leg room . FC about 30/31km per litre. engine is BMW technology, pick up is much faster than exciting ! engine oil is 1.5 litre.

both bike is good in performance .

 

i use to own both bike before ,i hope the info will help u to decide .
