I talked to my sales rep and there's talk and design going on right now at kymco but nothing in stone.  I would guess probley spring of 2010. ???

As of talk it's going to be a 700 EFI single.  But remember things can change at anytime,  If it was up to me and looking at the big bore utv market a nice 700 or 750 V-TWIN with a price tag of $9,499.00 Kymco would kill the sales of the other O.E's

Would love to see Kymco develop a large V-Twin.
It could be used in other platforms, we keep a pretty close eye on Kymco and have heard nothing about a LARGE DISPLACEMENT V-Twin in development.

At this point they only have the Venox 250 V-twin.

Kymco is making the engine in a BMW enduro-style motorcycle actually.  It's not a V-Twin, but it's a Kymco powerplant nonetheless.
