Saw that article a few weeks ago. That model of the AK 550 is the 2022 model for European and Asian countries. Not the USA.
I already HAVE the USA 2022 Kymco AK 550 as do a few other members here and a few more on the ADV Riders forum.
I don't think the USA will be seeing this new design of the AK until next year at the soonest... unless Kymco brings in a mid-year change up.
