While the 125 cc model did not get official distribution in the United States, being mainly sold in Europe, the 150 cc was brought to the U.S. market in the form of the Kymco Quannon 150 for 2010. Sales were very poor for this variant and it was quickly discontinued. Therefore, the 2010 model was the only year that the Quannon was sold in the U.S.
The Venox's engine cylinders are set in a 90° V-twin configuration. It has dual dual overhead cams, four valves per cylinder, and is liquid cooled. [3] All of this allows the Venox to offer 28 horsepower (21 kW), [4] an improvement of 10 horsepower (7.5 kW) over 250 cruisers like the Honda Rebel.
An interesting fact is that Kymco's 2010 Quannon Naked's 37MM front fork assembly can be nearly directly transplanted on Taiwan made NSRs with the help of a small CNC machined washer, directly addressing the problem with "head float" under hard acceleration and stability at higher speeds.

The exact date of the appearance of the tricycle in the Philippines is unknown, but it started appearing after World War 2, roughly at the same time as the appearance of the jeepney. It is most likely derived from the Rikuo Type 97 military motorcycle used by the Imperial Japanese Army in the Philippines starting at 1941.
Of the 150 vehicles ordered, eight were delivered in complete kit form from GKN, two in knocked-down kit form and another two in kit form.
