It's great you featured this bike Sir Zach. Some of the features are like answered wishes for the big scooter category. 1. 15-inch wheels with wide tires (120 F & 160 R) - this set is amazing on highway cruising runs and they can lean really good. 2. A longer wheelbase (visually comparing) than the XMax, TMax, Xciting 400, etc. 3. The storage capacity is big enough, no need for aero-dragging boxes (upsets CG). 4. 50+ HP, stable weight, modes (I believe ride mode...suspension biasing?), ABS (but I believe your 30 rating on the rear, needs more bite I guess or a better sense of "urgency" on the brake feel) 5. The cons that you mentioned are no big deal (at least for me) but yeah, scrutiny on this bike can be challenging But the price though...I will agree to pay that amount if the AK550 will have traction control, cornering ABS, and maybe, just maybe, fully adjustable suspension. Oh wait, I will replace the keyless with good old "insert key", replace the toggle wheel with good old "switches or latches", and remove the Noodoe tech. Make them optional, that'll save money which can go to performance parts instead. Thanks again Sir Zach. Stay safe.
This is what you call a review, a clean wonderful review. All you need to know about the motorcycle all the details even the things most little one. Thanks for an entertaining vid pakiramdam ko kasama mo ko palagi sa vlogs mo! Maraming salamat Sir Zach, more power and more videos! Ride safe! Ride strong!
Wow. This might be the best review video I’ve ever seen. What a beautiful country. Beautiful shots. Amazing. I’m sitting here in California, wishing I was on those roads with you. Makes we want to buy a plane ticket. I’ve been to Camp John Hay, and Baguio many years ago. Oh, and now I want a Ak 550. Thanks for the amazing review.
Very informative video, I researched this bike for months and bought one recently because of all the things you suggested, obsessed with this bike I ride all the time
Great review of the AK 550!!! thank you zac, proud owner, of an Xtown 300I thanks to you i am very very happy, a Bucket list is the AK 550 for me, keep up the good work, more videos of Kymco please, try to review the racing king if Kymco still has them, you will be surprised with the comfort and power.
Another great review sir Zach! Watching your channel is like a shed of light during this trying times. More power to you sir and please be safe when riding. May nagaantay sayo pag-uwi.🙏🏼
I have a suzuki Burgman 400 & 200, my friend has a Burgman 650 . Last night we were talking about ditching our Burgmans and switching over to the Kymco 550 . Great review.....Stay Safe
Another wonderful review! So matter of fact as always. If I were an ad executive I would surely take sir Zach to market a product. Feel that subtlety of how you want to own what he is reviewing. It could be a car made in China but you'll be mesmerized as if it were European made. Very nice guy indeed! :)
You made me miss my Beloved hometown, I used to ride Pangasinan to Baguio Balikan as well wether by my XC bike or Mio Soul i 125. Loved those twisties of Marcos Hwy and Kennon road. Keep safe sir Zach!
mamaw idol @Mr C 09 .... XC bike .... hirap na hirap ako umahon sa baguio , naguillian pa lang susuko na ako noon .... hehehe greetings po from Candon City here
This guy really is talented both in music and vlogging.. Kudos to you sir.. I did try to immitate your style, I can't do it.. But I am trying my best to learn from you sir and apply this to my channel.. God bless and more power..
Zach a great review. I would like to add something about the braking that I hope will clear a point up. The right hand lever is just not the front but a combination of the front and rear combined with the added benefit of the front brake calipers being Brembo's with 4 pistons, definitely a lot of stopping power not seen on any other maxi-scooter. The left hand lever is really a trailing brake more for use when traveling slowly forward or going into turns so it's not as you could say a solely full power rear brake the full power of the rear brake is in the right hand lever which as I stated is the combination of both front and rear brake. So when stopping you should really apply the right hand lever then gently the left. My apologies as I don't want to sound like a smart ass I just feel it's important to know exactly what's is involved in the bikes braking after all, as we know there is nothing more important than being able to stop correctly. Great review though.
Propper REVIEW 👍 just what I wanted to watch and hear. I wish that norway could have this model😭 but the maxi scooter scene its not so popular in norway yet. If I get the chance I would trade my piaggio bv 350 and get the 550 ak. Thanks for good quality review👌👍
sa opinion ko kaw sir pinakamagaling when it comes to motorcycle review.. i could say na pang international standard yung level mo that 's why i admire you among them... pero marami din akong idol na moto vlogger dito sa pinas.. ride safe and shout out to sir makina..
Nice Feature sir! Agree that it could use a better TFT display on the front end. Kymco definitely deserves more credit. that's why i got my first scooter from them. The Kymco Like 150i!
It's just sulit to watch you Serr Zach! Reminiscing the presence way back from NU Rock!!! Thanks for showing us this kinda flagship Maxi Scoots "Dumayo ng Baguio para bumili ng nahulog mo😅 Lol"
sirr zachh "uyy humpsss" naka ABS ee most rider, aba kasama ako ha? " uyyy, asooo" kala mo tatawid kabila kalye pero bumalik pala, ARRAAYY! di kasi naka ABS😂😂😂 Ride safe always, and be responsible sa daan😇
This is my dream bike. I prefer comfort over speed which Kymco really shows it here. Malaking storage box, Malaking fuel tank, comfort over long rides, etc... Its all here! Now if only I had 599,000 pesos. :(
Just bought one bcoz of the great discounts, i follow ur videos from time to time. I have to argue your point on the dash being not hi end enough? In all the segments of maxi scoots (correct me if im wrong) this is the only maxi with linkable dash to your phone. Not even the new tmax has that and more expensive bikes like the xadv as well. Anyway correct me if im wrong, good video and makes me as a new owner happy to watch
5th time ko na to napanood sir zach pang 3rd dito (still waiting new reviews sa motor kaya replays muna)...sa YT then 2 beses sa FB . dream ko to ak550. scooter Fan talaga ako ..and waiting sa Nmax 2020 hehe! sana OL! eto YTC ko.. sa FB Lester Sean Estigoy.,
Well, you should do an update sometime about the new model 2022. There are some interesting upgrades to it, my worst is the horsepower decrease due to EURO-5 (I think), all the rest is amazing, like the drive-by-wire, the cruise control etc.
Hey Zach hope you are doing fine. Nice show of AK 550. Please could you feature next time the honda integra S 750 dct. Have fun and ride safe. Regards to your Imago band. God bless.
Haha lagi ko inaabangan vlogs mo Sir Zach, inaabangan ko lagi ung comedy part e at lagi akong d nabibigo haha, Small Stickers? Baka naman ,RS lagi Sir, 😁😊
Great review, this one. Is there any chance to use an external GPS device? (like tomtom or garmin) on this bike? I've watched some other reviews and by and large people say the Kymco's app isn't the best in the world.... Safe trips!

I have watched a lot of videos researching the AK 550 by Kymco. This is the best, most honest & informative review that I have seen. Thank you.
Neat, I was planning to buy some bikes on Kymco because it amazed me with its tech.

This was one of the best test ride and reviews I've seen on any bike or scooter bar none.
That refreshing song after a very detailed moto review is a perfect dessert to a great dish!

He is a former DJ of NU 107 too.

He is also a current dummer / guitarist of a band named "imago"
The first time a maxiscoot appealed to me! Also maybe because this is shot in 4K video! Amazing review as always, Zach!
Zach a great review. I would like to add something about the braking that I hope will clear a point up. The right hand lever is just not the front but a combination of the front and rear combined with the added benefit of the front brake calipers being Brembo's with 4 pistons, definitely a lot of stopping power not seen on any other maxi-scooter.

Great review though.
so press the right hand lever first and then the left lever to stop in an emergency?
Kymco always has a motorcycle that will fit you. Astig!
"Uy humps!"

There are some interesting upgrades to it, my worst is the horsepower decrease due to EURO-5 (I think), all the rest is amazing, like the drive-by-wire, the cruise control etc.

BMW maxiscooter C series engines (C600, C650, etc) are built by Kymco. That is a solid statement of Kymco's reputation.
Ang ganda 😍
Sinulit na tlaga ni sir Zac iniakyat pa ng Baguio😁
Happy Father's Day SerSak! Keep safe, always!
