new bike/scooter
« on: December 04, 2020, 02:55:59 PM »
Warranty runs out on my 2019 XTown 300i, so thinking of new bike---smartest would be to run out the new drive belt and tires, but.....   Kymco is fine with me, dealer 30-35 miles away, takes care of my needs.   Kymco what can I buy----replace my 300i with another....but that would not cure buffeting.  People 150s interest me----all it needs in my book=trim of windshield so you can see over---probably as nose is close to tip of shield, no buffeting Vespa style   Spade 150 interests me---but not listed for 2021----all it needs is Aashi windwhield and luggage rack for my top box (for dog).  Super 8 might be fun.

Not going anyplace now due to Virus, other than daily errands.  But as soon as shots for virus are out, away I go, at least in 2021 would like to do Alaska and Canadian rockies again.

Always liked the look of the Super 8 John.  It’s the model that first made me consider Kymco...

John, you'd ride a 150 through the Canadian Rockies to Alaska?  Wow.. I can't maintain 55 mph on my S200 on a 2 lane highway, I'd be afraid of being run over. I guess people have ridden 50cc scoots across country...
