Title: Any idea what this is going to be?
Post by: PaulF on August 29, 2017, 01:16:48 PM
Saw this on facebook.  Kymco is doing a bit of a teaser with this.

I know they are releasing the AK 550. It's hard to tell, from that picture

Probably won't see it in Australia either.   :-[

Not the AK550, that's already known and the photo has no exhaust on the right side plus AK doesn't have Kymco nameplate on the front fairing. Info says Adventure Touring, dual sport Kymco?

I laid out in the grass all night in Kuala Lumpur, where testing was taking place - and managed to get these shots...

Interesting side exhaust, some multiutility tires, nose looking similar to a Honda NC700X, and center hump a bit like the Gilera GP800/Aprilia SRV 850. I must say it would be fun to add a dual sport scooter to my stable for some off road fun, question is will Honda or Kymco get it to the US first?

Looks very similar to a Honda Integra 750, but doubt it will have a DCT gearbox

I've seen a few of them in last couple of months. Not sure what to think about it. It's smaller than I thought it would be. The design is not something that makes you go: "Wow, I want that.
Waaaay to expensive here for what it is.
It more than 15000$ here!

I like the look of that and being a Honda it should be very reliable but what a high price.

Guys if anybody thinks the mystery kymco would come in at less than 10-11k USD youre kidding yourselves. The marginal 700  was close to ten at issue.

Big fancy bike cost big bucks and this very nice mystery scoot will not be the exception.

It looks very nice indeed.

Bring it, I'll just wait until they are giving them away like when I bought my MyRoad 700i. :D

Need to get these in circulation so they'll trickle down to the used bike market.  Nice looking bike. Wouldn't mind trying one out. Live on a half mile dirt/sand road to my cabin in the woods. This would be perfect for me but have to admit that I doubt it would make me part with my SW.
