new video of the myroad 700

[griffon_j9]

just found a bunch of videos of the new myroad (test drives) and nikkita  the end of the video gives you a good idea of how it sounds.... sounds kind of electric to me lol.  I can't believe the little ladies driving it..... 5 foot and 89 pounds driving a bike 10 times there weight and size!!

all and all pretty awesome bike (even if zombie does not like all the power on a scooter ;p )

*** messed with it again, if you lower the picture quality it works great on this site

700cc's I would buy a motorcycle. Just my preference.

If you spend many hours per week in stop and go traffic, a 700cc with CVT becomes very attractive.

700cc's I would buy a motorcycle. Just my preference.

Most of my riding is in-town, lights and speed limits moving between 25-45 mph. There are a lot motorcycles in town, too, and I here them constantly changing gears. I don't miss that at all. I do miss not being able to bold on hard side cases.  Every now and then I do rides where the speed limit hits 60ish mph, and I could get up on I-95 and do 70, but I'd rather do that with a 700cc scoot than my 500. It they put a CVT on a 700cc+ motorcycle, I might consider one.

...half of my daily 35 mile round trip is in stop-n-go...

..can't imagine hauling all that weight around...

They already exist, for 3 years.

Aprilia Mana 850 (here you have CVT and option to switch to sequential gear change using button on a handlbar!)

So, it is just money between you and your dreams now!

I do not know if you ever drove big motorcycles (>220 kg), but if you are of average or above average built / height, there is no much difference to driving a small scoot, even while splitting lanes etc.

The only exception to this rule, I think, are sportsbikes... they kill me after 30 kms...

They don't sell the Gilera in the US. I've seen the Mana. I don't like it very much. Ah, well. :-)

I guess some of us are true Scooterist and some are not.I love scoots of every size and as such would buy this baby in a heart beat.The 700 would be perfect for those out of town trips.This thread was started to show off the Kymco 700 not to be taken over by,I'd rather buy a motorcycle.There are plenty of forums for those that would rather have a motorcyle but this thread is for talking about the K700.I say bring it to the US now.

My opinion don't count Adolf? I have another one but THAT is for a different forum.
