Motorcycle riders have a peculiar custom of giving monikers to their bikes to endow such inanimate objects a sense of personality or character. To get nods of approval from your riding buddies, you should come up with the most original name you can think of. One Taiwanese firm, however, seems to excel in this motorcycle name game - Kwang Yang Motor Co., more commonly known as Kymco, has a knack for “christening” their products with names that seem to come out of nowhere. Some examples from its stable are scooters such as the People, Like and Bet&Win. Their maxi-scooter series called Grand Dink is no exception.

Launched during the 11th Manila International Motor Show, the Grand Dink 300i (G-Dink) is Kymco Philippines’ answer to a new breed of scooter riders who usually run errands around town on weekdays and still like to go on leisurely touring rides in the countryside on weekends. With a length of 2,090 millimeters, width of 770 mm and height of 1,360 mm, the G-Dink has ample presence on the open roads. Yet, it is still small enough to squeeze through gaps in urban traffic.
