With the Honda Silverwing coming in at a few hundred dollars less, I can't see the Kymco making a lot of headway. The competing BMW and Suzuki scoots are only a few hundred more.

I'm fascinated by the big scooter craze. You have the ability to carry a few bags of groceries and a passenger on ~700cc, with pseudo-sportbike handling. If you were carrying a passenger on a similarly-sized sportbike, you'd have room for a map and a pair of gloves.
