First Look: 2010 KYMCO Scooter and ATV Line - No Photos, Though

It is a nice list of the new machines from our friends in Taiwan, KYMCO. They will be offering 17 scooters and 11 ATV models in the US. All of their machines are competent, and they are improving them all the time. If you have a dealer near you, check them out. You never know...the Japanese brands were once considered cheap and unreliable, in case you have forgotten. (You may have forgotten this event as it happened over a month ago.)

The Kymco 2010 Scooter Line-up First Ride

Honestly, if you have not heard of Kymco, you must be leaving in a cave. They hit the US market just a few years ago, but their quality and low price relative to the competition has made them very popular here - though, not as popular as they are in Taiwan, their home country. The varous scooters in their 2010 line-up live up to their reputation. For instance, the Downtown 300i pictured here feels like a 250 in weight and handling, but performs like a 500 on the road.
