Xciting 500 / 400i Xciting
« on: June 04, 2015, 12:22:10 AM »
Hi,
I have been looking around for a scooter, and this seems to be the largest produced by Kymco available in the UK. I'm posting here in the 500 forum as it is the closest thing to the 500.
What is the reliability of Kymco like? One review in particular was enlightening, in that it said that BMW used the engine and Yamaha had taken a Kymco scooter and badged it as their own. Reading around generally, and they seem to get high praise for reliability. Even the instrument cluster matches the BMW.
I'm looking for a scooter suitable for motorway use, without red-lining just to maintain 70 MPH.
Any 400i owners here able to shed any light on what it is like? I think I may have found a dealership near me that has one to look at, but it will be a week or two before I'm able to go take a look.
