We now have 6450 miles on our 450i. So far we have had 3 oil leaks, the front tires have worn out twice, it runs erratically ,the ignition switch wore out, and the rear brake is noisy. Overall, it has been a pretty good machine. It has never left us stranded. We have now sold this machine and moved on to a Honda Pioneer. The rear brake system for the Honda is almost identical to the Kymco and makes noise. So, would I buy another one? Probably not, as everyone thinks they are Chinese junk and they are hard to sell...
