The New Spade
« on: September 18, 2017, 06:39:23 PM »
Anyone know any more about this little Motorcycle. Who builds it and in what country? I only ask because it isn't shown on the Kymco (for the rest of the world) web site. I see it on the USA site but not the other. I just want to make sure it is a good quality bike before I put my hard earned money down. It sure does seem to beat the heck out of a Grom. Honda makes a great product but so does Kymco and Kymco doesn't charge us out the rear for it. I haven't been to my local dealer yet but are they on the showroom floors ?

Thanks guys for filling me in on the new spade. Hey AMAC1680, I see we both live in Jacksonville Fl. I first saw that red and white sign on your wall with reference to Jacksonville Beach and then checked your name. Looking forward to going down to Salono Cycle and checking out the new Spade. Hope to see you around. Oh yeah, did you ever consider the SYN Wolf?   Tom

Hey tell them Al sent you, you'll pay double..!
I put a bunch of miles on a friends wolf and it's a nice bike. To be frank I wasn't in the market for a cycle but when I saw the reviews of the little spade it brought me back to my youth and i pre-ordered.

Only problem with the wolf, and I've owned a lot of SYM products, is it's not up to the SYM quality IMO. I've seen a bunch of them with front signals dangling, common, loose exhaust etc. all little stuff but by now they should have made changes but they have not.

Thanks Al for filling me in on the Wolf. My wife and I love our little Kymco 125 scooters and we know first hand all about the quality of the product. My wife is a little bitty thing so to put her on a Wolf or even a Grom was a stretch. The 28 inch seat height on the Spade will be perfect.

Would recommend a kpipe if you’re into the barebones feel, no fuel injection like the spade/grom but you get bigger wheels and whatnot but, the spade has that torque and acceleration that the kpipe doesnt
