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.

 

ENGINE & CVT UPGRADES

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.

With sporty styling and loaded with great features, KYMCO Agility 16+ 200i is the scooter that will keep up with your fun city lifestyle. Larger 16 inch front wheel, adjustable twin rear shocks and disc brakes make cutting through the city traffic easy while a flat floor and wide front fairing keep the rider comfortable. The fuel injected 163cc, four-stroke engine combines competitive performance with sophisticated technologies to deliver responsive power and low emissions. With a confidence inspiring ride and practical layout, KYMCO Agility 16+ 200i is the perfect match to your lifestyle.

10. General Business 10.1 Responses to General Business from a Previous Meeting Nil 10.2 New General Business Moved by Cr Green, seconded by Cr Harley ‘That the Chief Executive Officer presents a report to Council which explores the opportunities to increase the availability of motorcycle parking in the City of Perth including the possibility of parking on certain areas's of the City's footpaths, as exists in the City of Melbourne. That this report comes to Council within 60 days.’ The motion was put and carried The votes were recorded as follows: For: Crs Green and Harley Against: Cr Davidson

Improve Parking for Scooters & Motorcycles in Perth Support the Motion for better Perth CBD parking, ease congestion and improve our city. What is it about? The motion submitted by Councillors Green & Harley suggests a change in the parking regime that is long overdue and should finally be considered in the City of Perth. What is realised in many other cities in Australia and around the world, that motorcycles and scooters can easily park on some of the city footpaths without obstructing pedestrians loading bays or alfresco dining, should become the law in Perth. Over 80% of the cars visiting Perth CBD are occupied by one driver only. This causes congestion and restricts access to the city - while economically and ecologically better options are left out. The currently poor parking possibilities in the city of Perth for two wheeled vehicles like scooters, motorcycles but also bicycles must be improved to make it a more liveable city and cope with the increasing population growth. Plenty of (expensive) parking possibilities for cars leave many people no other choice to commute or visit the city than taking their car or use public transport that is not always as accessible and efficient. As one of Perth's longes [...]

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 [...]

Classic off-road marque SWM is back with a pair of café racers! Steve Martin and PMac take the Italian stallions out for a gallop

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.
