Daughter and I  were sittin' on a bench in my coffee village (see the Letterman bench!) today....I  was showing her the finer points of 'old guys goofing in the sunshine' before she's back in college next week.
While we were sitting there sippin", spectating and narrating . ....a large bearded fellow on one of those orange Kymco Agilitys went by, twice. First time I've seen one in the wild. Colorful!
No idea if it was a 50 or the 125.
A green Vespa passed and then a silver Reflex went by. It was a red letter day for goofin'  and scooter spotting!
Sunny, low humidity and temps in low 70's brought 'em out?

A good day all around.

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!

Although I like orange a lot I think the orange on this scooter is just a bit too overwhelming. I think this scooter would look way better if the orange parts had a mixture of orange, black and a bit of yellow like on the Agility.

Life is a journey. Just spend some time, and enjoy the trip.

Wouldn't be my first choice as well. I tend to be very conservative in my color choice.  I prefer white myself.
In parts 200S and Grand Vista and my motorcycles 2 CS BMW'S and one GS BMW.

Sold-32 Kymco scooters of various sizes this summer.

Agreed KK, and I see Kymco UK are doing this year's Xciting 400i in white...

My 2011 Downtown 300i was bright orange so I guess I'm girly but visibility is no.1 in my opinion. Red, yellow, orange or even white...but never black or dark colors for me. Loud pipes and loud colors save lives, hahaha!

Yep, heard another loud HD just after he passed me on the road this morning.
Need to find a way to turn those pipes around and aim them forwards😊😊

That's one thing I enjoy about the Kymco's is their quietness.

I think a lot of the noise I hear when cruising at speed on both my Liberty and LIKE is coming from the air intake?
The Liberty has the new Euro 4 specs --- which includes a quieter exhaust.
Seems about the same as my LIKE200iLX, which was designed over 10 yrs ago.

I know on my BMW'S that is the case. I hear the exhaust on my Kymco's but it's not objectionably loud.
