KYMCO USA is once again sponsoring the Femmoto Womens Track Event, October 5-7, 2007 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway (LVMS), but this year, the company is bringing out a fleet of ATVs for women to test ride off road.
KYMCO is expanding its presence by offering on-track, street, and off-road demo rides throughout the weekend. On Saturday and Sunday participants will be able to ride the Venox 250cc motorcycle, Xciting 500cc, People S 250cc and Grandvista 250cc scooters. KYMCO-sponsored street demos on Friday, Saturday and Sunday will feature the same model mix of motorcycles and scooters. And, new for this years Femmoto, KYMCO USA will offer Off-Road ATV Demos all three days. Riders will have access to MXU 500cc 4×4 ATVs, Mongoose 300cc ATVs and Mongoose 250cc ATVs
Femmoto is the creation of Bonnie Strawser, who, along with Monte Lutz, operates the major U.S. track day organization, Sportbike Track Time. Commenting on the KYMCO-Femmoto relationship, Strawser said, “KYMCO has been a part of our family since 2005, and many of our attendees have had their first experience with KYMCO at Femmoto. The addition of the ATV demo program is very exciting for us and increases the diversity as Femmoto expands to include more riders on every kind of powersports product.” The companys Venox 250 motorcycle continues to be a very popular bike with Femmoto participants. Light in weight and easy to handle, this entry-level V-twin machine has the look of a big cruiser and plenty of visual appeal. “We#8217;re very happy to continue our association with Femmoto, and actually expand our sponsorship with increased demo rides on the track, street and dirt,” said KYMCO USA VP of Sales and Marketing, Bruce Ramsey. “The event has certainly proven its popularity, and we get important feedback on our products from the female riders who participate.” KYMCO USA Event Coordinator John Stoddart will be on hand with the hauler to provide KYMCO products and support for demo rides. In addition to promoting womens riding ability and safety, Femmoto also raises money for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Last year, the Femmoto donation topped $10,000.
