Title: kymco k-pipe
Post by: ginger cat on April 29, 2013, 07:57:38 AM

Hi , does anyone have any experience with this bike? We got them at local garage and apparently one of motorcycle schools wants to buy them to train people on them.

Why there is different stock of models in different countries , like we dont have Stryker or quannon in UK.

It's a 125cc... 4 speed (semi-automatic) no clutch lever just like the Cub...  Unless the "underbone" type with no clutch lever is common in your place, you should not practice/train on this type of bike... you should train on either Stryker or Quannon... Underbones or cubs are most common in Asia...

We got k-pipe , pulsar and zing in stock in UK and probably Europe.
They stopped stocking kr sport couple of years before.

Pulsar is good for training.

It doesnt look cool , k-pipe got rly cool styling for that money.
I will be probably swapping my super 8 for new sinnis apache.

Sinnis apache is made in China by Jinan Qingqi... I don't think it's a good idea... Your first problem with Sinnis will be...rust...

But their build quality is good , my super 8 got rust in 5 months - pipe , both suspension shafts , bolts on back wheel , bottom rack. I was looking at k-pipe as well as it looks rly cool for that money.

Yes, K-pipe looks cool... looks like the KTM Duke 200...
