Does it have under-seat storage? — sure, that's a fair question, but honestly this R1M-style color is what's unfair here. Getting this vibe on a 125-class bike is the best. Limited to 800 units tickles the heart of a fan like me too. This is a bike to pick for the vibe over the speed.

The Cygnus X has been around for a long time, so there's a nice sense of it being a milestone

Putting this much playfulness into a commuter scooter is so on-brand for the Cygnus

Can't deny it feels like a limited-edition cash grab when all they did was change the paint

Limited to 800 units, that's gonna be a fight to get one for a 125cc-class scooter

Since it launches August 25th, seems like it'd be smart to move on pre-orders early

Bringing the R1M colorway to the Cygnus X is a bold idea
