Oh My,
the White and Black with the Red and Black Saddle - did yas see it? Sizzling Eye Appeal!
Have we discussed this Scoot yet? If so, sorry and please point me in that direction.
If not, can I have some opinions? I'm bad, I built one online this morning.

Is BMW working with Kymco on this?
Nice that they are producing 400 series scoots . . ..

Almost certainly, their "400" is actually a 350.
I would bet its just a Downtown 350 engine in a different frock.

What's it gn2 that's feckin horrible about the 400X that you're favoring the GT? (Actually Both 350's) -
Headlights? Body Style? Dash? Seat/Seating Position? Motor? Storage/Lack of? Economy/Lack of? Top Speed? I knows it ain't the price, Both costly. But GT will be how much more?
"In other words....." What's the diff between these siblings, X and GT? (Manufacturers should have a model line-up X, Y, and Z......it just makes sense and easier to recall. Just sayin')
The 2019 (2020?) GT Model has Not arrived in the U.S.....Yet!
By the end of this video there's mention of it's arrival in 2019 - Oct/Nov. Known as Late Fall into Winter.

After seeking out photos of the two models (X and GT) I'm disliking the headlights on the X.
See yerselves - a few pics of both:
The first two are the C400 X - followed by last two the C400 GT.
I think I'm starting to SEE what you see gn2

The X has assymetric headlamps and an adventure beak therefore is hideous.
The GT is better looking but still too angular.
Me likes curves.

Ok, that was simple. I See the "beak" and lack of curves. Tis all a matter of visual taste then.
Bikes themselves, Fabulous? Both models worth the $$? Cadillac of scoots are they? (I use vehicle brand "cadillac" loosely), you get my drift
I've yet to see a 400X on the road. The Burgman, Silverwing, Ruckus, Metropolitan, Downtown, Vespa's and Can Am's ride the roads here (and me PCX). Oh and a few of those Slingshots

Bikes themselves... Kymcos in party frocks.
Wouldn't touch one with a barge pole.
Far rather have a real Kymco.
