Anyone ever seen a green Kymco scooter?
« on: September 20, 2020, 03:26:35 AM »
Did Kymco ever make a green colored scooter? Seen just about every other color.

Nope. Not in the UK market where, incidentally, many regard green as an unlucky colour!

In the boat racing world green is considered a bad omen as well.  I always thought the British embraced British racing green?  When I bought my new metalic brown GMC truck in 94 the dealer refered to the brown color as (stay around brown). I guess I'm not superstitious.

Just the one marketed as a kawasaki...it had some green flashes on it. Nice looking scooter - I  thought. All black or grey being rather unimaginative, unnecessary  (unless shooting a Batman movie) and boring.

Well done blue!
I forgot about that LX LIKE.
I like green, and might have been tempted if there'd been one at my dealer.
I was set to buy the red one - paperwork was underway - when I found the LX in a special display over by the helmets.
"Wait!....I'll take this one!"
Goofy salesman neglected to show me that one.
Well, that one is $100 more, he said.
I'm sure I said something clever, in reply...

Didn’t know Kawasaki ever made (sold) a scooter never seen one.  What year were they around ?

Kind of funny Kymco made stuff for Honda Kawasaki Artic cat and BMW. Maybe others?

Yes, as far as I’m aware, they’re still available - at least here in the UK.

Pretty sure the ZX50 Super Fever was available in green, oh, about 2001?
