I found the forum probably just about a year ago, while looking for information about the UVX450. I would have to say that the feedback and conversations I found on the side-by-side forum here, from actual 450 owners, was a major part of my decision to ultimately purchase one in March 2019. I went into my SxS shopping process almost certain I would purchase a Kawasaki Mule SX, only to "discover" KYMCO at my local Kawasaki dealer. Like many folks, I was like, "What's a KYMCO?"
After reading about what a good experience other owners have had, in terms of performance and reliability, it made me feel very comfortable in purchasing a leftover 2018 model at a very attractive price (plus extended warranty promotion) vs. the Kawasaki. I have not regretted my decision. So, many thanks to all the forum users for making this is a valuable community not only to existing KYMCO owners, but those seeking reliable information about the brand.
As I have discussed with some of you on other threads, KYMCO suffers greatly from a near total lack of marketing in the US market. Given the quality of its products, I truly believe KYMCO could win significant market share if consumers knew how its machines stacked up against the competition. Based on how many complaints I hear from Polaris and Can-Am owners, I think the "value" offered by KYMCO off-road machines is likely second to none.
