Kymco zx50 opinions

I was reading the zx trans how-to in the tech section which goes into detail that all of the trans parts can be nabbed from a kymco zx50. It got me curious so i started looking at zx50s and they seem like a nice scoot!

Pros that i can see: zx style trans, speedo that goes way past 35mph, front disc brake, newer look.

cons: its not a honda?

Correct me if i'm wrong but i assume these scoots use an af16 clone? Does it make any sacrifices?

Any input welcome!

the kymco zx50 is a very nice scooter.

That speedo goes to 60mph and is a direct swap for a honda elite s

Very comfy ride with the larger 12" tires too.

Most af16/af18 engine parts will fit too

Kymco used to make parts for Honda then they branched off and started making their own bikes based on Hondas design but with slight moodifications

The ZX is a little heavier but you won't bottom out like the elite does. I find it more comfortable for my 6' frame and bigger feet.

Stock fast, quality scoot, 31" tall seat height... good scoot ...
