Saw this on facebook.  Kymco is doing a bit of a teaser with this.

I know they are releasing the AK 550. It's hard to tell, from that picture

Not the AK550, that's already known and the photo has no exhaust on the right side plus AK doesn't have Kymco nameplate on the front fairing. Info says Adventure Touring, dual sport Kymco?

I laid out in the grass all night in Kuala Lumpur, where testing was taking place - and managed to get these shots...

Interesting side exhaust, some multiutility tires, nose looking similar to a Honda NC700X, and center hump a bit like the Gilera GP800/Aprilia SRV 850. I must say it would be fun to add a dual sport scooter to my stable for some off road fun, question is will Honda or Kymco get it to the US first?

Looks very similar to a Honda Integra 750, but doubt it will have a DCT gearbox
