Are the Downtown 300i's Wheels really made of Nylon?

Thanks, I'll call my dealer.

I think Silver.

Make mine white. I like white crotch-rocket-lookin' scootaz.

Thanks for everyones help on the Downtown but I think I'm going to take a pass on it, instead I'm picking up a 2008 Burgman instead. It didn't make sense financially to go new when I could pay a lot less for an almost new Burger. If all goes well I should be picking it up this Sunday.

Now that they are out in the states, can anyone report on them. Own one, test drove one ,etc. I am waiting for them in Canada next year and would like to get one. Thanks

I've just gone from a 2008 Burgman 400 to a new Downtown. In white. Mainly because of the smaller size and lighter weight. Although the weight isn't quite as low as the Kymco figures would suggest. Fully fuelled and ready to go I weighed it at just over 190kg. 193kg with a Givi topbox, of which 77kg was front and 116kg rear.

It's only a few days since I picked it up, and it will be a few more days before it reaches the 500km for its first service.

What are your 1st impressions of the Downtown?
