Volcanic Genesis

Okay, the Taiwanese have some funny ideas about scooter promo videos, this I'll grant. Still, if I had the cash, I dunno if I'd rather have the Downtown 300i or the new People GT 300i.

Unfortunately, I don't have the cash, and it wouldn't matter if I did, as neither model seems to be destined to land in the U.S. any time soon.

Beautiful People?

Let's face it: The Kymco People series is pretty intensely ugly (IMO), and none uglier than the People 250 (which I own). That looks like it may be changing...

These were not easy photos to find, as this model was apparently only unveiled today in Italy @ the EICMA trade show.

Word is this will be available in the U.S., along with the sleek, sportbike-looking Downtown 300i.

UPDATE: Directly from EICMA:





Now, the KymcoUSA website's 2010 brochure does NOT include this model, or the Downtown 300i. What's the story, KymcoUSA? Are these gonna be for sale here, or not?
