A cool new Kymco we'll never see in the US

Post by babblefish »

I really like this new 2018 concept Kymco CV3, but it's a shame it'll never make it to these shores. The engine is suppose to be a 550cc twin.

Why do you say that? The Piaggio MP3 has been here for years, and Yamaha is supposed to be bringing one of their 3-wheel designs to the US shortly.

I wouldn't be surprised to see it here. Being so big the US is a good place to market maxi scooters.

Do we get everything? No. But Kymco is always trying to market here. Kymco is always a lead sponsor for Amerivespa and at gives some items for many local rally raffles.

Piaggio? Not so much...OK...not at all.

Wait and see what Kymco does, you never know with them. Wish we had a dealer, I like their products. Now I dont care for that weird 3 wheel Yamaha motorcycle but would be tempted with their Tri-City.
