Orange Kymco

[Kansas kymco]

Seen a bright orange Kymco Xicting.  Do you think the color would hurt resell or not make much difference?   One thing for sure you would get noticed.

Older gentleman bought the scooter 2 years ago and never got a chance to ride it. He was diagnosed with a brain tumor and doesn't have good balance.  Will stop and look at it on the way North.

I don’t know if it would hurt resale value or not. But if the price is right, I’d get it regardless. I don’t really think of resale value when I make a purchase . I simply consider whether I’d enjoy it or not. The color is an advantage though. Visibility is always an advantage in my opinion. So the color is a plus in my opinion . It will increase the odds of both you and the scooter being SEEN , thus increasing the odds of it surviving long enough to be resold . Lol.

And there will be others think the same way so, on balance, the resale value should hold up OK.

Well stopped on the way North and now have a Orange Kymco Xicting 250 with 5900 miles. Just a strange color on a scooter but being seen should not be a issue.   Not as bad as a color I seen on a new Yamaha that looked like semi-gloss grey primer.

Which just about describes the colour of my XTown - no choice in the UK market last year, to paraphrase Henry Ford, you can have any colour you like as long as it's grey! 

PS Hey KK, thought you had gray over there, not grey?!

The color gray, a mistake on my part.

I'm having issues with picture size when I try to post, will work on it when I have a good Internet connection.  It's still listed in the stcloud.craigslist. com if your interested  in seeing it.

Took the words outa my mouth Hawk!

Well the color of my Agility is.........orange.
Right at the beginning I thought the color was a bit “girly” - but the color started growing under my skin and these days I simply LOVE the color. Visibility is an absolute bonus. In fact - I think the color “outshine” visibility of the front light during daylight.
So my next scooter needs to be orange as well - I don’t care what other people have to say. To my mind  the color of my scooter justifies riding without uncomfortable safety gear to a large extent.

The only color brighter would be high visibility yellow.

found it...actually a very nice looking color combo! I love Minnesota bikes...they always seem to be low mileage because they're ridden 4 months and put away for the other 8 months!

Thanks lahawk, need to figure out how to resize my photos, the jpg file is to large to post.

I just copied the image from Craigslist and saved it to my pictures. I didn't resize it.

When i take photos with my phone I email them to myself..and the email gives me the option of resizing, which I always do as the native pics are too large to post here.

Still a good looking bike you have!
