General Discussion / Re: 2009 Kymco 500, I've attached a link are these worthwhile upgrades?

I'm going to be purchasing a Kymco 500 within the next few months and wanted to get an idea of what can be done to them. A few of my friends who ride regular motorcycles are absolutely against the fact that I won't have the passing power, acceleration at standing at stop signs or stop lights and that a scooter tends to hesitate when you hit the throttle before actually beginning to move.
With my current honda scooter that is definitely the case. I want to kick back and just cruise around but still have the power to do what it takes to keep me safe, and having the power to do when you need it most it what I have experienced so far.
I was wondering more than anything on the low and midrage power band what the 500 can produce. I don't want to raise my expectations too much if the scooter inherently does not have what it takes, if you know what I mean?
