I know, I know… This looks like a motorcycle design, not scooter design, but really it’s a sport scooter that has given up its step-thru space for storage… and not some half-helmet and pair of gloves storage, we’re talking TWO FULL FACE Helmets and even room in the back for a brief case or a couple pizzas. ALL of this is coming straight from super designer Oberdan Bezzi. You remember him from the sweet 850cc BMW scooter design sketch that had been circulating previously.
I don’t have a BUNCH of details, but Bezzi says it (“The Bikester”) is being designed as a 750cc, two cylinder bike unlike ANYTHING previously seen from Kymco. I would love to see them go through with it.
Let your eyes bathe in it’s design splendor (Caution! Not for the scooter purist):

Let’s hear your feedback. What do you think about this design coming from Kymco?

Thats awesome design. It really seems as if it is a bike.
Good going

That would make a great touring or commuting bike. Looks sporty, fun, and like it should handle well. If they make it, and it’s fun to ride, I’d consider it.

Hol-ee crap, is that ever sweet. Me want now…gimme!

Please send mine as soon as it’s available. Even a 500cc with that design works… storage is a huge issue the more I use my scoots. Which one I take fits the question of how much space will I need for that trip. In this case it looks good too.

Its sharp…for a motorcycle in a
kinda of Honda/Yamaha way. Now if
Kymco could build me a all metal
shifter type scooter 250 to 500 cc.

Let’s hope that these motorcycle/scooter hybrids are actually produced soon. I was in love with the Honda DN-01 concept, and these are just more of the same eye candy.

Hey, who am I to complain….? I love all 2 wheeled stuff. I’m just tic’d off they didn’t do it when I was younger. Wouldn’t buy it now tho. Too flashy fer me and I’m more into maxie scoots.

Hot design, just please don’t use the Xciting production timeline…

It’s similar to a Gilera DNA.. except with a much large engine.. and ability to store 2 helmets
instead of 1 in the DNA..
