2016 downtown

[de dee]

  has any one seen the 2016 downtown,  some one said it had ABS brakes,  might be worth it, to go to Florida just to see that , and bring one home

I guess the real question is what’s the price?

And what are the changes?
I am thinking about a newer one too, but not a 2016 DT. I want an ABS mostly...

Hey,
I guess most of you guys live in the US but the DT 300 has been started to be marketed with ABS since 2013 see the link to their site, you'll notice the ABS written on the front wheel fairing

The main reason I switched to DT was the ABS- I don't understand how I used to ride before (well I remember numerous slips on emergency brakes or a rainy day).
This year they stopped marketing the DT 300 here and they're advertising the new DT 350 which is half a lie 'cause the actual engine size is 320cc. It does look better though:http://www.kymco.com/product/category/Scooter/Downtown_350i_New/360.asp

So you feel the ABS kick in that often ?

it looks very nice, but it does remind me of the Kawasaki badged kymco J300!! or should I put on my glasses??

I don't feel it working often, luckily, only when I really brake hard the handle delivers these small bumps from the ABS not letting the wheel lock.

I ask because if a rider "feels" the ABS with any kind of regularity it's time to adjust the riding style.
Just my .02 and I'm sure some will let me know im off base.
