The Kymco Quannon 2011 150 is not a bike for the practised rider, obviously. But it does make a great platform for a new rider who may have suspect throttle control, but wants to learn the ins and outs of sport bike riding.
It also performs its yeoman duty without putting the rider on some goofy looking bike (the oversized, outboard muffler being the only fashion faux pas of the fully-faired motorcycle) that has a "beginner" stigma.If you do ride bigger bikes and get a chance to wring a Quannon 150 out, take it. Keep the perfect five-speed gearbox in action, keep your impetus up in corners, and have a go.
If you ride the Quannon 150 on its terms, you'll find it to be an unpredicted pleasure, as well as a sight into India's riding world. The engine must be revved and the clutch slipped. This isn't really that difficult, and because the power is limited, it is a skill that can be learned quickly and safely. There is zero chance of unwanted wheelies or the rear end breaking loose. The only risk at stops is inadequate throttle and the bike stalling. Fortunately, the starter fires the Quannon right back up and you can be on your way.
