Is the Kymco Super 9 a good motor scooter?
The Super 9 shines as a scooter that is really fast out of the crate (often capable of 50mph direct from the dealer) and it can often be found used for significantly less than an Aprilia SR50. It’s also an easy scooter to mod to 60-70mph, because the parts are widely available and the motor design is simple and robust.
What’s the difference between a Kymco ZX 50 and a Super 9?
The Super 9 was positioned in Kymco’s lineup as their top of the line sports scooter, whereas Kymco’s ZX 50 was sold at a lower price as more of an entry level model. Both scooters (and most Kymco 2-stroke 50’s) use the vertical same motor, but the ZX50 is more heavily restricted in stock form.
When did the Kymco Super 8 50 come out?
The 2009 and 2010 Kymco Super 8 50 was a 4-stroke that was a big step down in performance, but Kymco would add a 2-stroke version of the Super 8 for 2011 that uses the same motor as the Super 9 and thus offers similar performance depending on how restricted it in is your locale.
