One thing I like is the rear lighting. Everything is integrated into the body, i.e. turn signals are not popcorn sized LEDs mounted at the ends of toothpicks.
Hi, this bike deserves english review. I am not going to do English on all my video from now on. Didn't bring me a big evolution on the channel and it takes me 2x the effort/ time to record/edit. Would you do 16 videos a month for 70€ that youtube pays me? Even doing just the portuguese are 8 videos every month for a 70€ profit. 3h recording plus 4h editing for video
I’ve watched this video at least 3 times and it’s always as positive to watch as the first time! Great information, opinions, thoughts & review! Hoping you have a follow up sooner than later? All the best, Rola (Oregon / USA)
Maaaan this is definitely my next maxi scooter! I miss my burgman 650, would still be here if i wasnt ran off the road 7 years ago, feels like last week i lost it! Why Suzuki stopped making them only the lord knows, so this is definitely next!🎉
euro emissions regulations, they weren't selling enough to justify the need to redesign the engine to be more ecological... most of the bikes that are no longer available are because of this, and the issue is europe is such a big market for pricey bikes that if you can't sell there the model is not viable. Same reason the honda 4V engine no longer exists, etc
@BitmapFrogs maaaan seriously?!?!?!? That super freaking bites!!! They would probably sell better in the states given the current economic conditions and certain ppl being more gas comcious then others! Sometimes I wish stuff like this could be ordered! I swear that bike was a perfect fit for me when I had it before. I got run off the road! From looks to performance it had it all
@@LydonLewisDoUbLeZz i know mate, the 650 executive was a majestic beast of the road... kymco sells in NA so you can always get the ak550 but i know it's not the same...
Enhorabuena por el video. Congratulations! Y el scooter tiene muy buena pinta. Podría estar interesado en el más adelante. Cada día me gustan más los scooters y maxiscooters, cómodos, prácticos e igual de divertidos. Lo bueno del video en inglés es que RUclips te pone subtitulos en español. Muchas gracias y un saludo desde Zaragoza (España ) 👍🏻✌🏻🙋🏻
Thats what I was going to ask. This or tmax? I think tmax! As been going for a long time. And a better build quality. But I hear alot of people saying this is great and faster!

@@SpitfirePT im glad you did this on english thanks bro
I like the look of the original AK, just wish it had cruise control like this premium.
i can really feel you happiness on the AK550i. Good Video!
Like he said it's a scooter that act like a motorcycle and yes I would ride it as I have a scooter it's a 2013 kymco super 8 and I love it

hi, this is probably the best comment ever i got on my videos. thank you. ride Safe
4:56 that's smart 🤩
I have a CV3 and absolutely love it!
Only super scooter for sale in USA. BMW has listed but no dealership has them.
Thanks for the Video. How Reliable compared to Yamaha and Honda please. 🙏 thanks
I think you can change the power mode while still on the move but around 10kph
Great scooter and a capable all rounder. Top quality, pity the dealer network is so limited in the U.K. far better value than. T max and just as 👍
Piękny skuter , kolos

@@BitmapFrogs yea it's all I see that's the next beat option
My friend, rain mode is orange 😊
It was, in previous versions of AK. They changed it :)
Its faster than a tmax
I wish Kymco would design a stero,and cup holder in this dike
hi, this is a sportive bike not time for drink coffee while riding :) now a days with intercoms and BT you dont need a radio on your bikes. Ride Safe.
Ok I understand but I just thought it would look cool!
And the cup holder is for coffee
I don't understand why it has only 1 shockabsorber. They have a scooter called the New super 8 R. It's a 50 cc scooter with 2 shock absorbers. Why?
Maybe the quality of this one is mutch better then the ones on a 50cc😀 of course its not maybe, this it top of LINE shock. Ride Safe
they're good quality! you shoudl'nt worry about them, you should worry if this one will eat clutches every 15000 kilómeters like the previous model
Enhorabuena por el video. Congratulations!

Is it worth the money?

Thats what I was going to ask. This or tmax? I think tmax! As been going for a long time. And a better build quality. But I hear alot of people saying this is great and faster!
In my country..trade in value...very2 ...bad....u loose yr money a lot
