Should I buy it?
« on: January 23, 2015, 05:45:29 AM »
Found 2007 Kymco xciting 250 on my local craigslist. Not in good condition but the seller is selling it for $250. Only problem that is mentioned there  is the ignition switch is not installed. The key broke off in the ignition and he removed it but never bought a new one.

I am actually looking for a 50cc scooter for my sister. She is 5' 4'' with 123lb but this scoot looks like a steal. What do you guys think here? Should I get it for her?

Well, not without a title lol that always sketches me out to hear ignition ripped apart etc. Plus, unless she's a skilled 125lb rider, that'll be a hard bike to hold up. The 250 is the same frame as the 500 so it's pretty heavy, even by 250cc standards.
2002 Kymco B&W 300; MRP 78MM "300CC", Naraku cam, Yoshimura rS3 exhaust, 17g Sliders, Yellow torque spring drilled airbox, stock carb #115 main #40 pj.

2001 "Yamaha" Zuma AKA MBK Booster; MHR OverRange, Dellorto 19mm BHBG, Polini "big" intake, RS-3 Rear shock, Stock cylinder.

In addition, the X500/250 seat is quite tall.
Go to http://cycle-ergo.com/ and try the Xciting 500 (same frame as 250) with her 5' 4".

Yes, it does come with the title and all the documents. I thought about that too when I first knew about the ignition problem. Thank you

Thanks for the website. That is really cool. I talked to the guy and he said he had another small 50 cc moped. Will take a look at that instead.

Thanks you all for helping me. I still feel it is a good deal though, might just get it and have it fixed for sale?
