I think someone might have mentioned this article. I read it in Meijer yesterday. It is from the January/February 2008 issue...
Here is a preview...

The only bad thing they had to says was it is lacking in ground clearance. They liked the styling and the price specifically.

When will the Xciting 500i (injected) scooter be available in the US? I understand its in Canada, NZ. & the Aussies have them, but not here yet?? I wonder if the ground clearance has been increased on the 500i model? I drove an 06 500 and it was pretty nice. I am going to get a crusing scooter, but will have to try them all out first and waiting for the injected 500i model to get here!! Jay oldhummer

I bet it is stuck in EPA testing. :(
What is at the top of your list so far?
-
My sales rep. said the 250 and the 500 is going to be at the dealer show the end of the month and will be EFI ;) ;)

Nice! Llet us know if you get more details.

Top of my list now... is the Burgman 400. I think the 650 might be too much for my around town/ crusing needs, I dont need to be able to do 90-100+mph on a scooter anyway!! The 400 took me up to 80+ with no problem. The main problem for me is to get most of the scooters in a line up, and drive them all before I forget which one felt the best for me, Heh! . Problem is, one dealer dosent handle all the makes and models, it makes it hard to get them all together for a test. Its difficult to get a feel for a scooter if you cannot drive it 10-30 miles and see how the seats feel and what your fatigue factor is. Going around the block a few times dosen't do it! I am thinking maybe the 500cc scooters may be a compromise, with comfort and gas mileage ? Anyway, hope the Exciting 500i gets to one of our dealers here in Denver so I can try it out! Meanwhile, I will be out there on my B&W150 dodging the Blue hairs and Soccor moms while they are text messaging as they go down the highway! Oldhummer

What area do you live in?
Maybe there is a race near by where Kymco will be offering test rides.
I rode the Buell Ulysses at Road America last year at the AMA superbike races. Buell had a tent set up and all the bikes avaiiable to ride.
Kymco should get something like this going.
