Just got back yesterday from a trip down to Texas to pick up a couple of Kymco's. I bought a 2009 Xicting with 1610 miles that I talked about earlier (Crossbolt posted a picture). Picked up the scooter from a x Kymco dealer that forgot about it in a warehouse, dead battery and stale fuel.
The second bike a Kymco Grandvista with 3943 miles was found on Craigslist . Dead battery but fired right up with the battery I robbed out of the other Grandvista. It was a one owner that belonged to a lady that passed from cancer and her husband just wanted it gone.
Today I will change the oil and gear oil and put in iridium spark plugs. Will have to take the Xicting floor off to get the stale fuel out of the tank.
I think I surpassed my local Kymco dealer on stock of Kymco's, LOL
Trying to decide what to do with the Kymco Grandvista I bought for the engine to put in the People 250S. The parts Grandvista only has apx 5500 miles and just needs a seat latch cable and a broke mirror replaced. Runs great but has a different engine then the People S. The People S 250 engine looks like it has similar parts to the 300cc Kymco's . I might see if the 300 jug and piston will interchange since I might rebuild the motor.

Someone has a busy winter of projects lined up...

Yes, he will be busy! Hey, KK! You have to be the best stocked dealer within four states! Har, har!
You may have begun a new approach to a "niche" business! Whether you want to or not! By the way, I checked Nashville and Memphis craigslist for Kymcos and found NONE!

They disappear quick, especially if reasonably priced. Found a people 150 in Dallas while I was down there for $200. Didn't have time to go buy and look but was gone later that same day. The GrandVista I bought had a chance to make $200 and not even see the bike.
Funny you should say that about niche market. When I was at the insurance agent today insuring the newly purchased GV the agent gave me the name and number of a person who wanted my Lambretta Uno 150.
I bet I had another 20 calls when I had my People 150 for sale with people wanting a 50cc that didn't require a licence. I gave them the number of Dan's Cycle in Heston.
Yesterday there was a newer Kymco 200i listed in the Wichita Craiglist for a couple of hours for $1400. I was in Texas

Is something off about this listing? Looked like a decent deal if it was either of the 2.

Now I know where all the little Hondas have gone. I don't think they looked near that good brand new.
