I had a Kymco XCITING 500,great ride low power for two up, a Honda SW fair ride good power 2 up, now a used Burgman 650 best of both worlds,if the trans does not blow up. Lack of power is a bad short fall, I think the 15" front 14" rear tires make the difference on the ride. The xciting and 650 have them. You get what you pay for!!!!!
If I was only riding one up, the Xciting wound still be the one, Happy New Year!
