  :-\ ... the weather was starting to look a bit dodgy, so pulled over here and put the wet weatheries on, which was just as well ... when I got around the other side of that mountain in the distance, yer Uncle Bob got a wet arse big time ...

Hey there TroutBum & fest ... yep, the pony's a Venox as you said fest. She's been a rock solid little machine guys ... as I've said on many occasions, in the " Great little pony " thread, in the Venox section of the forum ... she takes me where all the bigger bike are going !  I've had her from new, and I've put 16000 klms on her, and all of those k's have been out on decent rides .. no commuting at all.  This ride from these two photos was a nice little 320 klm blatt up through them thare hills !  8)
Best regards.
Hairy Bob.

I've never seen or heard of this bike. I went to the Kymco USA website and its hidden under Showroom Non-Current Models. It looks like a much bigger bike than the stated CCs listed. It looks to be the size of a Harley Sportster. I like it!

Thanks for sharing!

Hey there TroutBum. Yeah, I get a lot of people look at me in disbelief when I tell them she's only a 250. I get things like ; " Nice bike mate .. what is it ? ". I usually tell them to have a bit more of a look around her and tell me how big they think she is. I've had the full range, from 750 to 900 to 1200 ... one dude even said 1500 !! I just smiled at that one and said ; " s'pose you'll crap yerself when I tell you she's only a 250 hey ? ", and he comes back with ; " What .. per cylinder ? ".  :) :D ;D
