KYMCO USA will haul out its fleet of scooters and motorcycles to provide demo rides at the fifth AMA International Women & Motorcycling Conference, presented by Harley-Davidson and Buell. The conference will take place in Keystone, Colorado, August 19 through 22, 2009.

"KYMCO scooters are easy and fun to ride, and because they are equipped with constant velocity transmissions (CVT), they offer riders with little or no shifting experience a great opportunity to participate in the sport," said Tigra Tsujikawa, marketing and special events manager for the AMA. "We are very excited about KYMCO's presence at our conference."

The Kymco People S 250 is one of the scooters that will be available for test rides

The KYMCO USA scooter product line includes a wide range of models and colors, including the sporty new 500cc Xciting. Other models range in engine size from 50-250cc, and many feature sleek European and retro styling. KYMCO's two motorcycles, the Venox 250cc and Quannon 150cc, will also be on hand to test ride. The Spartanburg, S.C.-based company has been on the U.S. powersports scene for more than 30 years, and today it distributes motor scooters, motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles manufactured by its parent company in Taiwan.

Registration for the fifth AMA International Women & Motorcycling Conference, presented by Harley-Davidson and Buell, costs $165 through August 3. Registration after August 3 (and any on-site registrations) will cost $185. The registration fee includes a commemorative t-shirt, and admission to all seminars as well as opening ceremonies on August 19, a barn dance on August 20, the International Street Party on August 21 and a closing banquet on August 22. Both the barn dance and closing banquet include dinner.

Kymco's most powerful scooter, the Xciting 500, is ready to test ride.
