Has any one have seen this in real life and do anyone have any updates for when we might see it

Hey, I've not only seen one. I have one in stock. I've got to *beep* here for a second. We are the first dealer in North America to have a 2009 iRS in stock. From what I've been told Canada is one of the first to recieve this model. This is a big thing for us Canucks. We are alway the last to get everything.

So far I am very impressed. I didn't go very far on it but it rides really well. Handles even better. The steering is lighter then previous MXU 500's. One thing that impressed me is you don't get that rocking back and forth on accel and decel. I've rode other models and when you step on the running board it's like getting into a canoe. I've also tried some of the independant Chinese stuff, which are rock hard. I think KYMCO once again got it right.

I had posted some pics on this forum back in the end of October or November of this machine. If I get a chance I will take a few more and post them on with this.

Until then I will try to answer any questions about the unit if I can. Still leaning and disecting.
