Notably better MPG, but probably more comparable if you keep the burger in sport mode & let the Kymco break in. My (notably heavier) k7 B650 gets ~45-55 summer riding. Low 40's winter.
Power's not insanely off.
MPG. That's part of what you pay for when you buy the fancy eCVT.
Overall. Might well be a market for it depending on the actual selling price, but for an extra £300 ya get a B650 @MSRP.
