I like new and spending the extra, to get new and not having to concern myself about how it was used is worth it to me. My Kymco Downtown was used with low miles, and I thought I gave it a good going over. With the low miles and years of sitting, when I got it in the garage I pulled the under seat bin out and and found rocks and gravel in places, including the CVT intake. Also began to see lots of scrapes and paint scratches. Prior owner may have lived on a gravel road or at least rode on a few. After investing in getting it good for my use and a bunch of hours I invested I can say I have a good machine.
