Kymco Xciting and Yamaha Tmax 500: separated at birth!

Since quite a few people here seem to know about the Tmax and all it's glory, you might find this interesting:

Seems Kymco know a good thing when they see it.

My wife is from France -- every time we go there I bring back a slew of scooter magazines, which I then peruse over and over again. I was reading about the Tmax last night when I recognized the same cacophony of surfaces and textures that grace the nether parts of the Xciting.

Yowsa.

You can't see it well in the photo, but the Yamaha has the same kind of two tone thing going at the front of the foot area with the word YAMAHA right at the split between the colors -- Kymco did the same thing on the Xciting for a while, but it appears to be gone nowadays.
