Kymco Sento 50 and Super8 125

Ok, the numbers actually refer to the Super8 125 and Sento 50, which were released on the Australian market in September. They are two of the most eagerly-awaited model releases of the year and the first of a host of new model introductions from Kymco over late 2009 and early 2010. On the back of the company's recent launch of its road bike range (see JUST BIKES October issue), the Sento 50 and Super 8 125 add an entirely new dimension to the Kymco scooter range.

Sento 50 - the cute 'scoot
The Sento 50 boasts a classic European retro style with a two-tone paint scheme and seat to match, slick alloy wheels and clear indicator lenses. This unique looking scooter is a guaranteed head-turner, whether you choose the pastel pink, pastel blue or black colour scheme.
The low seat height makes hopping on and off easier than ever for smaller riders, while the under seat ignition code lock security system controls the locking of the storage compartment, fuel filler cap, steering lock and ignition system. There's also a side stand for convenience, centre stand for 'proper' parking and a handy shopping bag hook. The performance of the Sento's highly fuel-efficient 4-stroke engine caps off this impressive package, along with a front disc brake with twin-piston caliper, the option of electric or kick starting and pop out pillion foot pegs.

Bigger, sharper. . SUPER!
Equally impressive is the all-new Super 8 125. With modern sports styling, vibrant colour options and a powerful 4-stroke Kymco engine, wherever you go, you'll be going in style.
The Super 8 125 boasts 14 inch alloy wheels and twin shock absorbers for a smooth, comfortable ride, while the large 240mm diameter 'wave' front disc brake make stopping easier than ever.
There's electric or kick starting for quick get-aways, while the twin halogen headlights will see you ride safely through the night. Digital instruments keep you informed, while the broad comfortable seat and relaxing feel of ergonomic levers and hand grips take the hard work out of any trip.
This air-cooled machine also offers locking under seat storage, clear indicator lenses, ergonomic levers and hand grips and a sports screen.
The Super 8 125 is available in lime green/black, orange/silver or ruby red/black.
The two new models join the Pronto 50, Vibe 50, Super9 50, Agility 125, Espresso 150, People S 200 and Ego 250 in the Kymco scooter lineup, all of which are suitable for learner riders.
