605 Macpherson Road, Citimac Industrial Building, #01-11

 

U can go http://www.kymco.com.sg to find out more....

[parotae]

Ha ha, yes the headless scooter. Actually i am fitting the Xciting head.

Ha ha ha no lah, cannot fit.

 

I've counted, 9 units of 300i, 1 unit 125i, 2 units of White Myroad 700i ABS left.

[synman]

Maybe while you r there, see whether can enrol more people for this thread.....lol

If I rmb correctly, it's 2 silver DT300i, 2 Titanium DT300i, 1 Red DT300i, 2 White DT300i, 2 Dark Blue DT300i. [Easily 2 or more per each colour].

Think the DT125i is the titanium color.

 

And yeap, the 2 MyRoad 700i is parked in the air-con office. Haha!

 

There were plenty of DT's to go around lah. Haha.

 

I don't think Herbert will be bringing in much Xciting liao. He's probably anticipating the new models to come in liao.

 

There're more used bikes there as well, the last time I was there.

[topgearalwaysrock]

Oh yes, while I was there, Herbert also told me the BMW scooter engines are developed by Kymco as well. So perhaps, in the coming years, am I right to say that we're to expect a 650cc scooter from Kymco as well?

 

Maybe the MyRoad 700i, will downgrade to 650cc to meet stricter emission standards???

 

And ytd, Herbert got a call from a MyRoad 700i rider, that he kenna langah by a lorry at a stop at a traffic light junction. Fortunately, he only reported leg pain. But the MyRoad gotta claim repairs from lorry driver.....

 

 

So please ride safe everyone!

[parotae]

I doubt there will be a 600 or 650 engine for Kymco with BMW engine.

Should be under BMW terms and condition I guess.

Kymco should be able to produce before 600cc and after 650cc range instead, under the "BMW Technology" claim.

Yesterday got a couple came to look for 2nd hand Downtown but was put off by the price.

$9K+ for a 6mth old Downtown.

 

Owner says too expensive, should have a mark down of 15% instead from new.

If you calculate OTR price eg. $12000-15% it is actually $10000 which is just about right excluding installment charges.

They forgot that bike prices are now on a high! 5 years ago, I could have bought a brand new SW model for about the price I bought the DT300.

 

Due to the Japanese Yen and our COE, prices are quite high right now.

 

Did u ask Herbert when the new clutch pad will arrive?

[parotae]

Nope, didn't get to meet him yesterday. Went off about 2pm cause it's about to rain.

COE $1900 now. I guess will go higher. Now taxi fare also going up, good for night shift drivers only. Day shift loss about $1 for every $10. 10% loss.

There is a used DT for sale?

 

Is it the dark blue one that's parked outside?

[parotae]

No, not the blue one. I believed you saw the special DT there also headless is also a white.

That's the one for sale. Full DIY LED with a hole in the windscreen.

Makes me wonder if he should customize himself. No doubt the electrical knowledge is there, but the workmanship....???

[parotae]

Anyone interested to fix a radio head unit or amplifier system to their scoot?

What's your view on listening to music with the helmet on ha ha.

I feel it's better than having an intercom system with radio/mp3 function no?

 

Someone suggested that riding while listening to music on the earphone is dangerous then driving car with music is not? So driving with earphone is it dangerous?

[topgearalwaysrock]

Haha. That one I didn't see.... Is it the one parked with the other used bikes?

[topgearalwaysrock]

[topgearalwaysrock]

You won't know whether it's dangerous till you try it. Haha

 

Anyways, the used DT for sale is parked opp yours?

[topgearalwaysrock]

Darn! There seems to be a bug with SBF.... Despite me posting, it doesn't show, till I reload the page....

 

Sorry for the multiple postings....

[parotae]

Yes, opposite me. Got a lot of LEDs.

If the lion head didn't take out, you will sure spot it. It's very off beat.

Hand guard LED, below headlamp LED stripe, side air vent below seat LED, switches LED. Meter also self customize. Really worth a look at the effort front mud guard carbon design too.

[topgearalwaysrock]

Sounds like a float.... Haha. Like those that're used for Chingay Parade.... Haha

[parotae]

Yah, I think if on all the LED can pass off as one.

 

Got a call from MotorSport that my spray painted parts are back. Only problem is the white is slightly different from the actual colour of my scoot.

How much is the repair??

[parotae]

Don't know the actual price yet.

Estimate $200++ excluding my right side floor board replacement.

cause I spray 70% of the scoot. Head, rear handle, front side fairing and lower fairing.

Only the rear side fairing and front mud guard not sprayed.
