More reasons to go Downtown with Kymco
KYMCO'S Downtown 300i Sports-Tourer Scooter was named runner-up in the 2011 Scooter category at this years' Motor Cycle News (MCN) awards ceremony, which was attended by the heads of the Motorcycle Industry and the MCN team.
Voted for by MCN's panel of expert road testers and senior editorial team, Ian Kidson, Managing Director at MASCO (UK concessionaire for KYMCO) said that he was really thrilled that the Downtown had been recognised in the 2011 Scooter category.
“The MCN awards are the equivalent to the 'Oscars' in the motorcycle industry, and so for the Downtown to be named MCN's second favourite Scooter in the UK is significant, and especially when you consider how many scooter brands and models of differing engine sizes there are to choose from”.
MCN's accolade is a testament to the quality of the Downtown 300i, credited for offering a genuine 300cc capacity. “It also serves to further endorse KYMCO's technological capabilities,” confirmed Ian.
“The Downtown 300i is powered by KYMCO's new liquid cooled four-stroke, single cylinder, fuel injection engine and has many high performance technical features. These have all significantly enhanced the machine's performance, and given it a genuine 300cc capacity (at 299cc) that can achieve a top speed of 90mph with a powerful 29.5bhp@8000rpm.
These impressive statistics rival all other scooters in the same class, and are why it's one of the top sellers in mainland Europe.”
The high quality sports exterior, created by Italian designer' Massimo Zaniboni, is stylish and practical too. Every detail from the 'eagle-eyed' twin headlights, to the elegant instrument panel, the 12v phone / battery charger, the design of the air inlets on the body and the large underseat storage that can easily hold two helmets, has been carefully considered to ensure that it can satisfy the needs of both city and leisure riders worldwide.
Price positioned at £3999, the Downtown 300i benefits from the manufacturer's 2-year unlimited-mileage warranty, and the support of KYMCO's National dealer network.
