The 2009 Kymco Grandvista 250 Kymco Scooter

Kymco, being relatively new on the international scene, is certainly better at creating desirable Kymco scooters than motorcycles. With ten models, Kymco scooters at least have more practice with styling than with Kymco motorcycles. The 2009 Kymco Grandvista 250, while not the flagship of Kymco scooters' lineup, exemplifies this trendiness and affordability by offering the consumer a nicely built, stylish ride with lots of extra goodies like a cell phone/ PDA accessory plug, folding electric mirrors, as well as an adjustable rear suspension to help make carrying passengers less trying of an ordeal. The 2009 Kymco Grandvista 250 is reasonably priced for the amenities it offers. The seat features backrests, and a large windscreen provides ample weather coverage. Larger tires, 12" wide profiles grace the wheels, providing the 2009 Kymco Grandvista 250 with exceptional stability.

The 2009 Kymco Grandvista 250 is powered by a four-stroke liquid cooled 249cc Single overhead cam engine. The transmission is an automatic continuously variable transmission, providing the 2009 Kymco Grandvista 250 with smooth, effortless cruising. This technology, along with the 2009 Kymco Grandvista 250's light 359 pound weight, contributes to this Kymco scooter's claimed ability to deliver as much as 70 miles per gallon fuel economy. With a 2.4 gallon tank, the 2009 Kymco Grandvista 250 provides as much as 168 miles of range between fillips, particularly helpful for campus commuting, when 168 miles might provide a thrifty student nearly a month or more of commuting, for less than the cost of a large coffee. The only more miserly way of commuting is certainly walking.

The 2009 Kymco Grandvista 250 has a seat height of just 30.3 inches, quite comfortable for most riders, and provides a wheelbase of 56.4 inches, giving the rider the ability to park nearly anywhere.
