TL500 look like a bargain now in this market
When a taiwan scooter cost as much as a Bsegment car, something is really wrong with this country and we must make the change right now
Guess u dont know Kymco then.
Might as well say china i phone cost as much as a bike.
Kymco is not from Japan or Germany or Italy, it is defo Taiwan mari. So why so expensip!
When it comes to Chinese made, eveything should be cheap? Japanese or European made are okay with expensive price tag eh? AK550 is made to be a TMAX killer. So do the quality, features and price too. Still cheaper than its main benchmark, Yamaha TMAX. Quality? Kymco is a proven manufacturer and have been making scooters for various big brands such as BMW and Kawasaki. Should have watch the review of this bike on Youtube or other platform.
smart #1 brabus is not from Japan or Germany or Italy, it is defo China mari. So why so expensip!
This should be price max at 59k at most, below 60k make more sense.

…and how long the waiting list for that? mind you 2nd hand price is 80-90k (or more). is it still a “better get” (baik beli)?
What’s the technology in this bike to justify the price tag…crazy ar …buy a myvi and I guarantee u the rain mode is more effective
and i dont think u can activate the anti-traffic jam mode in the myvi
look at the guy with the thumbs up in the picture on the top below the head line.
the scooter is priced at 65k because the company needs to pay the guy so that he can buy those shoes he is wearing in the picture
Taiwan price is TWD287,968 = RM 43,037 ,tansport and tax RM22,000 in Malaysia.
All vehicles above 20yrs must scrap.
If u think this scooter is expensize, clearly you cant afford it, perhaps ur salary too low so work harder or get a better paying job….diam2 sudahla
Clearly you dont have a car or know the value of money. Sad
Pity you can only afford a 65K car, clearly this scooter is not for u la…keep on dreaming bro!
