Kymco's 699cc scooter

Checkout this link to Kymco's newest scooter. http://tinyurl.com/27tmhs

Two questions 1) What are fuzzy brakes? 2) It says that it has a 2 cylinder, 4 stork, 8 valve engine. Do the storks run faster than hamsters?.
The scenery only changes for the lead scooterist.

Hey, don't make fun of those storks! They may be slower than hamsters but they are more graceful.

Looks pretty cool, so far - I wonder when they'll arrive in the USA?

Looks like they are trying to break into the Burgman market. It doesn't look like a bad scoot but the lines don't do alot for me. I am glad to see that it has ABS, a must for me on a maxi scoot. Kymco usually makes very good scoots, but I am always leary about first year production of anything!

"World's most powerful scooter"? Wonder if this is more powerful than the "world's fastest scooter," the Gilera GP800 (which is actually an 850cc)?

I prefer the looks of the Gilera, though I must admit that I don't like the looks of most maxiscoots either way.
