KYMCO’s second-generation Downtown 350i has arrived featuring a more refined Euro 4-compliant engine and the added surety of traction control for a sharper, smarter and more sophisticated sport-touring scooter experience.

It also debuts KYMCO’s rider-centric Noodoe Navigation system as standard, which allows you to focus on the road, putting safety first.

Since its 2009 global debut, the original KYMCO Downtown 350i proved immediately popular by selling more than 100,000 units across more than 40 countries. The LAMS-approved Downtown 350i TCS ups the ante of its popular predecessor with more safety and technology while blending comfort and sporty handling under an increasingly dynamic guise.

At the heart of the Downtown 350i TCS is an overhauled 321cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine retuned for more performance and flexibility while complying with Euro 4 emissions regulations.

Allowing motorcycles and scooters to park on some footpaths would overcome serious inner-city parking shortages, according to two City of Perth councillors. They say footpaths on many streets are wide enough to accommodate motorbikes, just as they do in parts of Melbourne and some overseas cities.

While the current parking options are limited to pretty much the single motorcycle & scooter parking on Mounts Bay Rd, the proposed change would allow parking of scooters & motorcycles on footpaths within the city as long as there is no obstruction to pedestrians, loading zones or alfesco dining areas.

We are convinced in the interest of reducing congestion and increasing accessibility of the city centres, this is long overdue in Perth. It would be increasing quality of life for everyone to get to work or for a quick shopping trip to be able to [...]

Italian motorcycles are things of beauty, not only in their design but in the way they handle, the way they deliver their power, their presence and that feel-good factor that just makes going for a ride worthwhile. When I got the call from Editor Dobie to test the latest retro classic incarnations from SWM, he was quite surprised to learn that I had one tucked away in the shed. Although the marque is not well known, I grew up riding trials bikes made by the brand and to this day I’m probably one of the few people to have followed SWM’s existence.
