Just had to ask... My dealer says he has not heard anything. Probably have to depend on those of you outside of US to get the news first...
-
My dealer says it will arrive next year.
-
I've heard the MyRoad isn't coming to the U.S., but an even bigger Kymco scooter is... but badged as a BMW.
.

my dealer told me that they were going to call it the xciting 700, and that we would see them near the end of 09.

I have to upload one by one :-(

and this one. My opinion is that they have to do something with those instruments. It should be something like downtown 300. it is really better design.

Here is a new extended official video

NICE. Havent heard anything recently... I WILL get this when it comes out... Looks like a beast!

Heard it will be an twin cylinder 800cc motor scooter named the Dink Street 800. It will have some crazy Enduro Motor that has become popular in other applications. They (BMW & Kymco) are aiming at dethroning the Gilera 800 and Suzuki Burgman 650.

I was thinking of getting the x500 but now that I see the red "my road" I think I will wait and just do some slight mod. to my GV250 to make it more comfortable to ride until it comes here (USA). drooooollll

I definitely would interested in the white one. I liked what I saw when they showed the underseat storage held 2 fullsize helmets. That's what really interests me about the Burgman. That storage. It would be nice to have a place to put my helmet and jacket when I stop. (not to mention my diaper bag). That's what sucks about the xciting. Very little storage space. I love the reliability of my xciting though.
-
I think I would also really like to try the 700. Was down at my dealer on Saturday and asked again. The GM said Kymco is being mum on the subject. I hope they are not mulling the idea of marketing the 700 through BMW, in which case the price will be prohibitive and service even higher. At least in Louisville.

I like Kymcos but Kymco 700 will dethrone Gilera 800 when hell freezes.
There is one Kymco 250S in horsepower difference between Kymco 700 to-be and Gilera 800.

Thats right!
Kymco myroad is more for crusing with 700 ccm 55 hp parallel cylinder engine, and gp800 is sporty scooter with 850 ccm v2-90 engine that provides 75 hp. Also myroad was announced in 4q 2007 and it is still unavailable to buy! That is pretty disappointing. They should leave myroad and produce for us xciting 500 v 2 and xciting 700 v 2 with new 2009 ri design.
