@@brianhowie3996 I am around Tampa FLorida but can't find one right now how did search for it? Autotrader or you just got lucky when you went to the shop
AK550 is a well made scooter and superb on technical engineering designed in general a lot of stealth studies made before they introduce this product to the market first in Europe with BMW machine technology
I put a lot of miles on a 650 Burgman. The best part of a big scooter is you can us them for long distance riding and no engine heat and the do a good job blocking the wind. To bad they don't put cruise control on them. If they do I will own a nother one.
Thanks for the video. I am considering this scoot to replace my 2018 Suzuki VStrom 1000xt. The VStrom has a higher top end but I have never been there. Don't need to go there. I have never even gone this fast on my 1000xt. So clearly the AK has all the go I need and I'm looking for the comfort, the twist and go of a maxi scooter. Just need to investigate side case options for touring.
I have a question... those flickering lights in the dashboard are an effect caused by the light, the camera or of other nature, or you are actually seeing that while you are driving?
Nice Rico, I'm doing the same, I'm selling my 2016 bmw c650 sport scooter & I was doing a comparison between this kymco ak550 & Yamaha tmax 560 & it was very similar in componentry, it looks good & also good value at $13,000 aus, the tmax 560 sells for $16,600, that's why I'm getting one🙂
@@laytontrotter2701 When n if U can sell it , U are getting less n wasted 3 o5 years of more FUN , if U cant afford it its another story ! U cant compare a Toyota with a KIA amigo !
Pwede po magtanong sa Price & maintenance nang parts AK550. *Price main drive belt, & ilan kms bago palitan? *Price belt sa may pulley & ilan kms bago palitan?
Brother May I ask how the change has been? I have come to the conclusion that there isn’t Maxis big enough for me (130kg 183cm) to take on long trips 500km + and the reason is from chasis flex and well there is a small market for them. However the kymco 550 has me doubting that I should get a 650+ dct bike or an adv bike, especially at the massive price point difference. Any information is well received
@@justforgitsandshiggles5405 I do love the Kymco AK550, it is powery! 54 horsepower equal to the Harley Davidson Sportster 883! The drawback for me is..... it's too tall for me. 😔 I'm going to sell it 😑 I'm 5 foot 5 and find that at stops, I end up leaning far to the left. I'm putting it on the market next month. Otherwise, it is a great long trip bike!!! I added saddle bags to mine, makes it look like a Sport Touring bike👍😎 I had a Yamaha Majesty and you could feel some flex, but not with the Kymco 👍 I might go back to the Yamaha or Suzuki Burgman 650 ... Cheers
There are speed limits in the US, tops is 75mph, there might be some at 80 up in Wyoming/Montana but we do have very strick speed limits. The Germans have their Autobahn with some no speed limit areas.
Hi Sir! For daily use and weekend long ride okay na okay na po ang Xciting, makakasave ka pa ng 200k. Pero kung willing ka to spend extra 200k, go for Kymco's flagship maxiscooter. Keep safe!
Not really. I've ridden PC43 for like 30k km and despite it might not feel like 180 is its max speed, it won't go much faster. And even if it does, it will become unstable beyond at least my comfort zone.
Kaya nakuha mo po Ang 193kmph dahil po pababa na iyan. After porak exit po iyan mahaba Ang palusong diyan Kasi iyong pinaka mataas na bridge sa Tplex iyong end tapos paakyat na ulit.
180 kmh is more than adequate for a scooter. More important is the comfort of the rear suspension because in my opinion that is a very weak part of every scooter compared to a regular motor. Also the sound of the motor is important. On the C 650 I found that terrible and I traded it for a Yamaha FJR AS. And that is a world of difference. Although is it very heavy and not easy to manoeuvre as is the AK 550. Furthermore I think a motorscooter is very expensive both to buy and to maintain. Not shifting gets a bit boring after a while. I have not yet found my perfect motor/scooter.
@@JEFFQUICKLE9 No Jeff I have tinnitus. Do you know what that is otherwise google it. For your own development. I can tell you it can be hell. Thank you.
@@maxleonardjanssen6653 You can check out Honda's DCT maxiscooters. Amazing torque and riding comfort. Also, you can switch to semimanual gearing via button control if you miss shifting gears on your own. Ride safe pops!
Thanks for the video, this shows the speed and handling it has , I can drive comfortably at 80 to 85 mph if needed got to 100mph once
I bought the 2021 AK 550 2 days ago,,the best affordable scooter out there

downhill kasi diyan pero topspeed lang talaga ng AK550 sa flat straight is 175
Ang ganda na ng daan sa atin!

Nice Bro!
okay, and what about average comfort cruising speed?
for my kymco xctiting 500i is ~ 130 km/h.
Süper 👏👏👏👏
you're crazy, I admire your courage!!!!!!
סע לאט .תגיע מהר .. ככה זה בישראל
The speed is in km not miles x hour, still pretty fast on that......
I have a question... those flickering lights in the dashboard are an effect caused by the light, the camera or of other nature, or you are actually seeing that while you are driving?
I dont see it while driving. It's just on the video.
its the camera capture rate mismatching with the light frequency of the dashboard
@@TK-gd9tdthank goodness for that !😐
I'm looking for a new bike and seen one these for sale near me, I think it's time to upgrade from my 400 Burgman to a Kymco. Ride Safe✌🏾
That would be a great move! Keep safe!
Just be aware after 3 or 4 years who iz gone buy it ?? Suzuki Yamaha , BMW U can sell them the same day !

Ride safe lagi sir Rene
Thanks Sir! Ingat din lagi
Here in Spain we have a lot a motorcycles and none of them can be driven more than 120 lolllllllll, what a nice country USA, that's true freedom.
That is not true. They are violating the law. Its illegal to do it here too. Lucky for you you can do max 120kph. here 100kph max.

Какая цена в обслуживании?
Der Tacho geht aber auch ganz schön vor.
Sir, ano po mas recommended nyo for everyday use to work and pag weekend long ride si xciting ba or ak?
Hi Sir! For daily use and weekend long ride okay na okay na po ang Xciting, makakasave ka pa ng 200k. Pero kung willing ka to spend extra 200k, go for Kymco's flagship maxiscooter. Keep safe!

Mga boss, Matanong ko lang anong common issue sa ak550?
แต่ถ้าวิ่งเร็วซะขนาดนี้มาขายเมืองไทยรถญี่ปุ่นนี่มีหนาวแน่นอนถ้าตั้งราคาสัก 3-4 นี่สวยๆนี่
Down hill road decline kaya umabot mg 193 kmp depends on force of air input specialy there's windy area other parts are normal
How is consumption ?
A buatifull maxi scooter, my pristine 2012 Honda cbf 600 s is doing 180km /h + very quickly and is not close to top speed,
Not really. I've ridden PC43 for like 30k km and despite it might not feel like 180 is its max speed, it won't go much faster. And even if it does, it will become unstable beyond at least my comfort zone.
ppntang subic 193 not bad nice ride bro..
Thanks Sir
Did you have any modification??
I see other videos that the top speed are 175 kph
Mine does around 175 all stock in around 200 lbs I'm surprised this one goes that fast 🤔
Up grade your CVT with Malossi parts you could hit at least 210kph.😁
FACTORY WARRANTY CHEEF....🥵👽🤑😜🤑😱
210....come on...
I have a ridden 130 mph on a Harley Scrambler but that was way to fast for this old man, especially on just two wheels...
STOCK.550cc.....if you bow down a little... a little better😇 Stay.safe sir
how about the gps speed?
Por qué parpadea el panel ?
Es el "scan rate" de la camara de video.
Whats happening on your panel guage keeps blinking
It's not at all like that in actual. Just the effect of the camera and light mismatch.
is this all stock sir? :)
Yes sir
Where it is?😅
170 KM/H EFFETTIVI
E’ la velocità di contachilometri con scarto….quella effettiva con gps non supera i 168/170 km/h….comunque gran scooter sto valutando l’acquisto 😃
I know that part ng sctex sir 193 sa palusong. Mas magnda sa patag sana sir. Rs po.
Sir why ak550 not tmax560 planning to buy po kasi baka may advice po kayo salamat and ride safe
Wooow..lakas ng kymco..ingat po kayo lagi sir...
Salamat Sir! Keep safe!
Sir stock po CVT ? Grabe ang lakas, RS
Stock po lahat Sir
The 3rd attempt was downhill. Right ?

Lupit talaga ng ifol ko pang 20 na nood ko na nga ito baka kasi mag 200 na ss 3rd attempt... haha ride safe bro dahil sayo nag ak na din ako
