Motorcycle Philippines was lucky enough to have been able to test the new Kymco Super Z 150 8 Series 150 FI. Kymco is well known in the local market for producing outstanding scooters designed specifically for the daily commuter and serious tourer.
With the release of the Super Z 150 Fi Kymco has upgraded the previous 125 version with a much powerful and torquier 150cc FI engine. The Super Z retains the European styling it is so distinctly known from the 125cc version with a few upgrades. Our unit came in a beautiful shade of orange which had bystanders taking a second look. Front fairing compartments, which also houses the cleverly placed fuel filling cap, helmet/luggage hook and a discretely placed waterproof USB port are added creature comforts that make the Super Z 150 Fi stand out.
Street behavior of the Super Z 150 is impressive. You can feel the extra torque while weaving in and out of traffic and while accelerating from the frequent starts and stops of everyday riding. The compartment, big enough to fit a good-sized helmet, is perfect for bringing your daily load for work or school.
Touring with the Super Z is a treat. The power of the 150cc FI engine is evident on the long stretches as the Super Z easily passes the 100kph barrier without breaking a sweat. The saddle is both long and wide and provides the rider as well as the pillion with a comfort on short or long rides. Fuel economy ranges from 23-27 km/l but since our unit just passed the 2,000 km mark and we weren’t really riding slow, this is expected to go up with more kilometers on the clock and sensible riding.
The 14-inch tires provide the Super Z a stable ride in both high speed situations as well as low speed challenges. It easily absorbs small bumps on the road much better than smaller diameter wheels. A must for riding around the city.
The Kymco Super Z 150 Fi is a good choice for those looking for the power of a 150cc fuel injected engine married with the sporty elegant styling the Super Z has been known for.
The Kymco Super Z 150 FI is priced at Php83,900 and is now available in all your favorite Kymco dealers. Available colors are Light Blue Matte, Flat Red, Shining Orange.
