Honda reliability and design, Kymco affordability and style... Beautiful condition Kymco Venox 250cc cruiser, the OEM of the Honda Magna 250cc cruiser made by Kymco Taiwan for Honda before Honda stopped selling the Magna line. Kymco took over and continued selling the Magna under their own name and badge. Brand new sells for $7,000. KB price lower than what's advertised on TM:

Super reliable water-cooled V-twin 250cc engine that delivers 26hp power as you need it and when you want it. Tweaked for torque, the power delivery is smooth and even, so no surprises and is very forgiving. Dressed up to look like a much bigger cc cruiser, the Venox was re-designed slightly by a German designer who worked for Ferrari. The result is a Honda Magna with a hint of the Harley V-Rod: A larger tank, chromed air filter covers, sleeker tail light, steel braided brake lines and larger more attractive headlight.

Very recent work on it:
- Oil change @ 11k kms
- New rear tyre @ 11.5k kms - front tyre still plenty of thread left for at least 6k or more kms
- Chain adjustment [with new tyre]
- Brake fluid topped up
- Windshield added
- Exhaust modified to sound like a beast - sex on the ears!
- Serviced by George of Motorcycle Doctors - a very respected and highly-recommended mechanic.

Always garaged and regularly [religiously!] washed and polished. NEVER dropped thanks to its low centre of gravity and well-designed balance. Comfortable seating position - this is one of the very few 250 cruisers that can take a big/tall fella and not look puny or cramped. And among those few, none match the style and charm of this one! In fact, I've had it side-by-side with a Harley Sportster and they are identical in size. Strong front and rear brakes. Beautiful angled twin chrome pipes - very unique.

Takes $23 for 11 litres full tank, lasts 230-240kms. Cruises at 120-130 kph easily. WOF till Jan 2013, rego expiring 20th Sept. Some slight blemishes here and there, but nothing major or noticeable. One scratch on rear body. Missing tripmeter knob - came like that. Selling as I have my full license now.
