    Another funky looking little bike I see here ... I'm guessing about $1K in cost ...

    It's really small ... I actually straddled it but could not bring myself to sit down on it ... It felt and looked so weird from my Huskies, it just was not for me.

    what size engine is that? I have not seen those around here? The smaller Artic Cat four wheelers are made by Kymco I believe. Not bad quality. But around here they cost almost the same as a mainstream brand.... In a sick way I like it....LOL

    125cc engine ... Apparently the Asian world runs on 125 - 150cc engines ...

    Kymco makes ~570K bikes a year I was reading ... They split off from Honda back in the 70s ... The company is Taiwanese and has a very good REP in their segment of the market.

    That is an unusual looking bike with that frame and SA ...

    The rear sprocket looks smaller then the hub! That thing must have zero get-up-and-go.

    Kymco is a very good company turning out good stuff. Looks like this is Honda Grom type bike which is actually kinda popular here.

    I was told by a Kawasaki dealer that many of the Kaw 4-wheelers are built by Kymco and looking at them that day they looked identical. The Kawasaki's were more expensive but according to the salesman they are the same minus decals/colors. I asked how reliable they were and he said "very". btw that Grom thing looks fun.

    I would ride one of those kymco's. Probably similar in size to a CBR125. The motor looks like one of those 125 Chinese pit bike motors, which isn't a terrible thing.

    Yea I've had a few and they were OK. With a low price tag if u could get parts that bike would be fun to goof off on.
