I got my Super 8 17 months ago for $2200 OTD. Over $3000 seems really high. You may want to shop around.
As for accesories, you don't have to spend a fortune. My Emgo top case was around $60 and after 17 months and 7000 miles I have had no problems with it.
I added some reflective tape and a couple of reflective stickers. They work real well.
BigJames, not sure about the case, but prices for the Kymco scooters are posted on their website. If I'm correct, but Super 8 (in the U.S.) is somewhere in the mid- 2,000's for a brand new one with a 2 year warranty. If 3 grand is your limit, you'll have plenty left over for accessories and safety gear (a good helmet, jacket, and gloves are must-haves!).
As far as I've seen, you can negotiate maybe a hundred bucks or so if they lots of inventory, or leftover inventory of one specific model, but otherwise the prices are firm. Your dealer may be different, but the two I've dealt with was not too willing to negotiate price until I wanted to buy two scoots from him; and then I spent 5 grand and was given only 300 gift card for accessories.
Good luck, and let us know what you find. This board is a gold mine of information!
Again, best of luck!

Yeah, the dealer didnt seem willing to go lower than 2800, he started whining about how they don't make much profit bla bla bla. What about licensing and that sorta junk how much does that cost? Estimates are appreciated.
