Hello all

I am  new to the forum and new to riding (2 years now). I started with a loaner from my friend a Kymco Agility 125 cc for a 7 months and then I bought a Honda Sh150i (currently I have for sale) and want to upgrade to the GTi300. The Agility was too small for me but lots of fun to ride and the Honda is smooth and civilized but I need to ride short stints on the highway and a 150 cc is not fun on the highway. I have read all your posts which were very helpful and took the GTi 300 for a few test rides and I love it!! It is so much fun! I want the GTi300 as soon as I sell my Honda. I narrowed my search to these two bikes, a new 2013 GTi300 in silver for $4,200 out the door and a used 2013 black one with 125 miles for $3,700 OTD, your thoughts on the bikes and prices are appreciated.  So, after much thought a 300cc is what I need for downtown riding and occasional short highway stints, Vespa GTS300/BV330 are not for me due to quality and physical fit (I am 6' 2" 196 lbs) and the Honda Sh300i is not available in the US, the Gti300 is not a perfect fit but it works nicely for me and what a blast to ride!!

So, here are my questions, while I love my Honda Sh150i (153 cc w/15.5 hp) I need more power for some highway rides, and my concern is the Honda quality vs Kymco but everything I read in the US and euro sites say great things about Kymco quality but I did see the posts about the slipping belt in the rain and exhaust screws that fall apart. But then again I see people on this form with 40,000 miles on the GTi300, impressive... I also know that Kymco builds engines for Honda, Suzuki and BMW to name a few.

Your thoughts and advise are greatly appreciated and sorry for this long post!

Thanks
Budz
