He will come off that price as you can buy from a dealer "new" at that price with full warranty.

General Discussion / Re: 09 PEOPLE 250 new PRICE help
« on: June 05, 2015, 04:04:41 PM »It's going to need all fluids changed in my opinion from day 1. Tires and belt are questionable. I wouldn't pay more than $2500 out the door. So your probably paying $2200 for the scoot. Nice scoot at that to, make sure it fits your mountain frame. A lot of feed back on the seat being too up front for tall folks and your knees crowding the steering column plastics.
Looking at cycletrader, $2500 OTD for "new" 2009 is reasonable. $3000 seems way high.

General Discussion / Re: What is the license of the scooter?
« on: June 04, 2015, 07:53:43 PM »Hey kymco maniacs,
I have a question regarding the license of the scooter, as they require it for the plate registration on my name.
Though I don't know what is it? I have a small document stating: Certificate of Conformity, which states that the vehicle can be permanently registered without requiring any firther approvals....
Your help will be really appreciated,
Cheers
Where are you located? Each state/country is different. The license is what you need to ride a motor cycle/car legally, your title is what is given to you by the department of motor-vehicles (DMV) after you have registered your scoot (if your state/country requires). To register your scoot your will need the Certificate of origin, a bill of sale (so you can pay the taxes) and maybe proof of Insurance. In the USA your registration paper contains a registration sticker that you attach to your license plate. The registration paper is stored safely on the bike/in the vehicle.
BTW, welcome to the forum. Please introduce yourself. Thanks.

There are 10 million registered bikes in the USA. So let's just say there are 10 million people with MC licenses (some multiple owners, some bike-less). If 10% is bad then the feds are dealing with 1 million bad apples. So yes, when you get stopped and you have MC endorsement on your license, the POPO will profile you.
It's almost certain that the day you get your license your info is sent to the feds who run a check. C'est la vie.

« on: June 03, 2015, 01:40:54 PM »You'll be just fine, Kymco has quality control in those factories. If I were rich could I marry your daughter with a large dowry.
Arranged marriages are archaic, so NO you could not marry my daughter. As she was born in Africa he future husband will have to pay me Lobola (in her case 50 cows). As you don't own 50 cows the answer is still NO. Also, "If I was rich..." means you are poor, so NO again.
...now, as my sons are born is America, are handsome and well educated, I will be expecting a large dowry from their future wives.

The Agility 125 is a great bike. I had two Chinese 49cc scooters before I purchased my current bike. The Agility is a good bike....
Thanks King K. Yeah, I thought my bike was made in Taiwan so it was a bit of a let-down to see the "Made in China" sticker. The ZX50 is as good as any Japanese bike so here's hoping this Chinese made scoot will hold up.

Thanks WK. I live in Pella, Iowa, now but lived in Wichita from 2003-2009. The guy in the pic with the t-shirt is my nephew who "adopted" the scoot and took my son on a "road-trip" around the neighborhood every day of Memorial Day weekend.

Here are pics of the Derbi GPR 50. My daughter wanted a geared moped to learn on after she had mastered the ZX50.

Karl
You are correct Karl. I have shirts older than that! Welcome to the forum Neal.
Thanks Karl & BB. they say kids keep you young but I think mine are pushing me to an early grave.

Hi there. The name's Neal, 49 years old and new to the forum. I have 4 kids (daughter 18, sons 16, 10 & 8 ). My daily bike is a BMW R1200GS but no stable is complete without a couple of scooters (ZX50, Agility 125 & Derbi 50 GPR).
On Friday I picked up my 2nd Kymco, (my other is a ZX50), a new 2013 Agility 125 for $1649.00 OTD. I did find others listed as low as $1399.00 but many dealers added $400-600 in prep and paper fees.
After warming up the bike smelled bad so the 1st thing I did was replace the engine and transmission oil. The engine oil was very low but transmission seemed about right. As no prep fee was charged I did not want to chance that the oil in my bike was old and Chinese. The whole service took less than an hour.
I rode the bike all weekend and so far it feels great. I like it!
