Thank you one and all. Your experience and generous input makes this an easier decision. Even if the US GTi does have a proprietary plate that is different than the Europeon one, I can work it. David Harrington did it. So it is doable. Plus, I just love Kymco. lol Maybe that's enough of a reason! Long life and safe riding to all. Please be well and God's speed every night taking you all home in safety! my best to you and your loved ones.
