I just bought a new (2009) Kymco Venox. I have owned more than 50 motorcycles and i must say this bike delivers everything as advertised. It is a great handling bike and it gets wonderful gas mileage. It handles very well in tight higher speed turns and is a pleasure to drive even on the interstates. I cruise at around 60 and there is plenty of room left to pass and climb hills.
I am particularly pleased with the fit and finish of this bike and it is my opinion that it is a better value than any other bike in this price range. I am dismayed that the bike will not be imported into the United States any longer. This is a bad decision since this bike delivers great fuel economy, a comfortable and safe ride and looks like a cruiser should . Think it over guys!
