Title: September?
Post by: S/W on May 26, 2012, 12:25:06 AM

I got my July (MAY 25) issue of Motor Cyclist mag today, only to find a one page article about the MYROAD 700i. It was a positive slant and hinted the 700i might make it to the US by September (2012 we hope).

Did he say, "V-twin" when he was talking about the dual outlet exhaust?

It is a twin but I don't think it is a "V". The pictures I looked at it didn't look like a v-twin. See if I can find the pictures again.

Hi all, been a while!

I actually just had my 500 oil changed at my dealer and he actually got to sit on the myroad at the dealer convention he went too (In the usa)! It is suppose to get 55 MPG! He also said it had crazy leg space but we will see once it comes out here. The sales rep told him they were shooting for a cost under 8000 dollars... My dealer does not think they can do that... we will see on that one too

and what a better place to go then the kymco global site to see the specs.! ::)

Ohhh and he said there looking for a 2013 release!  (hope the world does not end in december! ha ha ha)

As long as it's cheaper then the rest of the 600+ cc super scooters (SW, Burger, Gilera/Aprilia 800 etc)
it'll be ok, and it will be cheaper then all of those.
