Its a Kymco Summer

Now updated, prices fall on Kymco Commuters.

Kymco Australia

To celebrate the arrival of summer, Kymco is offering the chance for customers to ride away for FREE on a Kymco Espresso 150 scooter from participating Kymco dealers.

Until the 31st December, 2009, customers will pay the RRP only on the Espresso 150 and with no on-road charges – a saving of up to $800.

This means an Espresso 150 will cost only $3,990 and the Quannon 125 only $4,490 – ride away with no more to pay.

The Kymco Espresso 150 is an icon of the Australian scooter market and is widely acclaimed for its unique European styling and big 16 inch alloy wheels.

The single cylinder, 4 stroke, 150cc engine has all the power to take you around town in comfort and safety, while the twin rear shocks with adjustable pre-load, a front disc brake and electric and kick start are further evidence of the legendary Kymco engineering.

However, the devil is often in the detail, and there’s incredible attention to detail on the Espresso.  Main and side stands, a pillion grab bar, retractable pillion foot pegs, locking under seat storage, a shopping bag hook, locking front glove box, a digital clock and two-way adjustable mirrors cap off an impressive package from Kymco.

Most notably, though, the 16 inch alloy wheels provide extra stability and safety and minimise the dangers of obstacles such as pot holes or cobble stones.
 
This special offer on the Kymco Espresso 150 scooter ends on 31st December, 2009.

UPDATED 11/12/2009 Courtesy of the stronger Australian dollar and exceptional support from the Kymco factory in Taiwan, Kymco Australia & New Zealand today announced a massive price reduction on their motorcycle range.

While the acceptance of the Kymco motorcycle product in the market has been exceptional since its launch in September, Kymco has decided to pass on the benefit of the stronger exchange rate directly to its customers by slashing the price on its three entry-level, LAMS approved motorcycles by up to $1,000.

The Venox 250 cruiser will now carry an RRP of $5,490 (a reduction of $1,000), while the Quannon 125 will now retail for $3,590 (a reduction of $900) and the CK 125 commuter for $1,990 (a reduction of $1,000).

“The acceptance of Kymco motorcycles has been outstanding and industry data shows that Kymco is already grabbing a decent share of the below 250cc market,” said Kymco Australia & New Zealand Marketing Manager, Alan Collins.

“The motorcycle market has not yet fully recovered from a challenging year, and we’re trying to offer more value than ever for our customers.

“This is not a pricing strategy we’ve been forced to take – it’s one we’ve quite willingly chosen to take. A lot more things are working in our favour now than a few months ago, and we want to ensure Kymco offers not only the legendary quality, but also unbeatable value.

“At the end of the day, we want to see more Kymco motorcycles on the road. The more that are on the road, the more people we have understanding that Kymco are the real deal when it comes to motorcycles.”

This news follows the recent announcement that Kymco has recently taken the mantle as the number one scooter brand in Italy, along with number one scooter brand in Asia and number one ATV brand in France.

For genuine sports appeal in a smaller bike, nothing beats the big ‘sports bike’ look of the Quannon 125. The full fairing aerodynamic design adds to the performance its powerful 4-stroke engine puts out. Electric starting gets riders going instantly, while the twin spar frame is both stylish and strong. With wide tyres on 17” wheels, the Quannon 125 boast amazing grip and agile and responsive steering. Disc brakes on the front and rear, digital instrumentation and twin halogen headlights cap off this impressive package.

The CK 125 is undoubtedly the commuter’s choice – a value-for-money machine with a smart commuter look, boasting bikini fairing, alloy wheels, front disc brake, twin shocks and luggage rack as standard. The smooth 125cc, 4-stroke engine provides plenty of grunt, while the spacious riding position offers an incredible level of comfort.

For those looking for the classic ‘big cruiser’ styling in a smaller machine, then the Venox 250 is for you. The gleaming paintwork and chrome highlighting easily catch the eye, while the machine itself has everything a new rider seriously wants in a motorcycle – minus the inflated price tag. From its V-Twin, 4-stroke, liquid-cooled engine to the 17” front and 15” rear wheels, Venox is a genuine cruiser. This machine also has a tank-mounted speedometer, electric start,
twin-piston brake caliper, right hand exit exhausts and twin shocks with adjustable pre-load to set a new class-leading standard.

For the past nine years, Kymco has been successfully marketing its range of scooters to become the fourth largest scooter manufacturer in Australia. And now the company has this year launched a tough and reliable range of All Terrain Vehicles (ATV’s) tailored for Australian conditions, along with a range of entry-level motorcycles.

Established in 1963, Kymco is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of power driven products, and has long been a dominant player in the Australian scooter market. The company manufactured over 570,000 vehicles last year, which means that every 55 seconds, someone somewhere in the world was purchasing a Kymco vehicle. In fact, Kymco has produced over 4.5 million scooters, ATVs and motorcycles in the past decade alone, increasing volume by 36 per cent since 1999.

“All prices are exclusive of on road costs.  Please contact your local dealer for ride away pricing”
