Last week while on a business trip to a city about 4 hours away I decided to see what scooters might be for sale there. I ran across a used 2018 X Town 300i with about 890 miles on it for what seemed like a bargain prie of $2999. On my way out of trown I swung by the motorcycle dealership (they carry Kymco and a high end European brand motorcycle). The scooter looked great and even had a trunk already installed. Also still 15 months of Kymco warranty left and this was the original selling dealer so I was able to confirm the 600 mile break in service had been done there.
It was on consignment from a guy who had moved into an apartment from a home and no longer had a place to keep it (more to the story but I won't go into it here). Although a great deal with winter coming on where I live I knew for all practical purposes it would just be sitting in my garage until Spring except for the odd warm day here and there (I am not a cold weather rider - I have a perfectly good vehicle for that! LOL) After some thought I emailed the dealership and made an offer that would make the deal just too good to refuse for me. They countered and then I countered and at the end of the day I bought this scooter for $2600!!!!
Yesterday I borrowed my son's pickup and drove 4 hours to go pick it up and bring it home. Here is a pic of it outside my garage after we unloaded it. It runs great. Driving it home last night about 5 miles on a country highway from my son's home I was surprised how quickly and with so little throttle it was up to 55 mph! I now have just under 100 miles to hit the 1,.000 mile mark where the break in restrictions will be gone and I can see what she can really do on the highway.
I have been enjoying this forum for a little while as an observer and now will get to participate as an owner. Now let's get that X Town 300i thead / header up and going for us new owners!
