That is actually a Very cool looking scoot! I would trash the mud flap, and the front fender but with some new color, and maybe some "race" stickers... That would be cool as sh**! Kinda looks like a People/ZX hybrid.
Where is it from? That is the first Yup I've seen besides the Factory picts.

I thought it looked more like the Sting than a People..... The title just says "Kymco"..... so I actually thought it was a sting when I bought it...... SUPER CHEAP too! Will pay for itself in fuel costs vs the V8 @ 17mpg <-----Ouch

I'm up in Carrabelle. I haven't had a car/truck/motorcycle on the road in years. Fl is truly the year round scooter capitol.

Agreed.... Perfect year round weather. Well, Barring the short afternoon showers. I have to admit, I'm really lovin riding this around. I have some turn signal mirrors on the way and I want to buy one of those little MP3 amp/speaker/alarm kits. Anyways, Almost finished with my $18.74 back yard paint job..... and I removed the rear tire guard as you suggested. I also think it looks better with the front fender off... what do you think? Also, Too blue?

Completely my opinion but I love the blue. It looks so much more updated. The Airbox is a bit much. Perhaps doing the cover to match the silver/grey would be more "classy". I'd smash that fender into bits too. Just so I wasn't tempted to use it.
IMHO... It looks like a completely modern "cool" scoot. The kind that get girls at the beach to follow you. (in the commercial anyway).
Graet job for 20 bucks.

Your scoot looks great!
Where did you get the signal mirrors for $10?

In 1,217 ebay buys I've only had 2 poor sellers, and they are no longer selling... Paypal takes GREAT care of buyers. (Just NEVER list/link your bank account) I use ONLY debit cards for ebay. Pay 10 bucks for an item, and add ten bucks to the card.
