Looks like there is plenty of room between the butt rest and front foot board to shut anyone up!

Yep, it sure did look like a t-max though.

Any design that uses a more cycle like frame and rear drive will look like the Tmax.
Do it first and people will compare it to you. I've always loved the Tmax just not willing to buy a scoot from a cycle dealer.

I don't like being treated as a "sidebar" sale. Also when I had my Swing nobody at the dealer service ever worked on one before. Not good.

Nice looking scooter. Things could start heating up in the scooter world soon with the announcement of Honda and Yamaha working together to build and create scooters.

to me
There are no plans to import this model into the U.S. as a 2017 or 2018, beyond that, no decisions have been made.

Heartbreaker. Guess I will just have to make-do with my comfortable, cheap, easy to own, Helix.  ;)

I would not take a motorcycle to any dealer even if he sold it to me. I MIGHT take it to my dealer in Memphis but that would be it and it would be an unusual, really special case. Scoots the same deal. I have no idea what the problem is but it is significant since most dealers have a bad reputation for actually fixing anything. The whole motorcycle/scooter sales picture is bleak but some seem to be making it except for technical. They will be nearly gone if not careful. The forums could be a real source for tech info if the dealers would use them.

Well, at the rate things are going, Kymco will give me plenty of time to decide whether to ride again or not since it looks like this product won't be coming to the USA any time soon.
