The small 13/14 inch wheels make it a bit put offish to me on an 80+ mph capable bike. The Citicom with the 16 inch wheels which has the same engine would be the better choice and they both should be close to the same MSRP which on the Citicom is $4,999.  |

The Kymco Downtown 300 has been reduced to an MSRP of $5,399 so possibly once they clear those out the 350 will become more readily available here.
I find the riding position a bit tight for the knees on most Kymco bikes including their 700cc Like that dealers has so much trouble selling.
Dream bike for me would be the Aprilia SR850 which is not difficult to get but rather impossible to get in the US.

I can't comment on the Kymco Downtown 300 since I'm not familiar with it. But it is good looking, isn't it?
But I have a Kymco People 150. I'm not an expert on that, either. But it sure does seem to be a high quality bike.
But, as rockynv pointed to, a bit more foot and knee space would be nice. I have to sit on the passenger's spot to be really comfortable. It looks like I might have to do the same on the Downtown. And that step-seat might make that a bit more difficult.
For referrence, I'm 6 ft, 0 in. A shorter rider might do better. And, for that matter, I might be just a bit out of 'optimum' size for any scooter. Maybe I shouldn't single out Kymco.
