just got our first set of brochures for the new Super 8, and ewwwww. Why they would take the Agility and think they can call it a Super 8 is beyond me. It's a decent looking bike, but if anyone knows anything they will look at it and think it's an agility with naked bars. IMHO, and I'm sure I'll get flak for this, but I don't think Kymco USA is going the right direction. Almost all the newer bikes china made....... Kinda ugly (this is a personal opinion). Our best selling bikes of all time were the People 50 and 150, oh looks like we'll discontinue these! Smart! And now the China made 49cc are the same price as the Taiwan made 49cc? Thanks for passing on the savings Kymco! Also a fail, they did NOT plan ahead with the 2t import restrictions, they could have updated the "Super 8" with the 3v 4t engine the compagno had, but no, it's the same engine the old Agility 50 had. I LOVE my old Bet & Win 250, made in Taiwan. But it's getting harder and harder every day to tell people Kymco is the brand they want to go with. And I'm ashamed every time people say "Kymco is Taiwan right?" and I have to answer "well........ not these ones......". If you look at the Kymco Global website (Kymco.com), they have soooooooooo many awesome looking scooters AND motorcycles, why Kymco USA does not pick more of these is a huge question mark to me..... Don't get me wrong, the China Kymco is still vastly better than no name china bike, but not even close to the quality of the fully made in Taiwan kymco. All you need to do is tap the plastic and you can hear it.
