So... this is the joint for Kymco owners? Cool. (New guy post)
« on: September 06, 2012, 07:14:04 AM »
Greetings all! 

New Kymco owner here after YEARS of owning Genuine Scooter Company bikes and Vespas.  After a BAD bit of luck with a Rattler 110 and having to give up a Vespa P200e because it would not pass emissions even WITH a full engine rebuild, we needed something reliable as a 2nd mode of transport.  Almost pulled the trigger on a Buddy 125 (in orange...bleh) because they're a mechanically fantastic bike!  But, a new Kymco dealer popped up right down the street from the theater I work at, and while I had been considering Kymco before, they were the first dealer to actually have the Like 200i and Agility 125 in the colors I was interested in.

After doing some comparitve shopping and noticing that the Agility was A LOT better built than I would of thought, I finally got my grant money for this semester (a full time theater TD as well as a returning student full time as well) for the purchase of said bike.  But, as with life more expenses popped up than I was prepared for and we missed out on buying a new 4-stroke Stella or a SYM Symba.  The Agility fit the budget quite well, and frankly... felt a bit faster and better built than the more expensive Like 200i. And the price.... DAMN!

So, after handing over $2135 worth of digital currency, I am now the proud owner of a shiny new Agility!




(it's being shy in this one...)

I've had some great initial experience with it after putting on 187 Km in 24 hours.  I need a bike that can take a lot of miles and one that is dead stop reliable.  And, with the People 150's having such a great rep I figured I couldn't go wrong.  Hopefully my first brand-new jump into the Taiwanese scooter world will treat me better than my last attempt at a "lightly" used one...

So, be gentle to the new guy.

US Agilitys dont have the same indicators as us in Europe Skippy, they still have the old style ones. Prob find its down to stock held already in the US or US laws, whatever the reason it makes no sense to me, the new Euro indicators have been around here for years so i wouldve expected them to be on US scoots by now too  :-\

I'm in the Phoenix area, but work all over the valley where the gigs take me.  Hence why I needed a bike that can take the abuse.  2 days into the new bike and I already have 300Km on the clock!

neoT,

You'll still wanna hang out at Modern Buddy, too, btw. It's the best scooter forum on the web, IMO.

Already hit 500Km.  After this week I should be at 1200 depending on what other shows I have going on. We're moving to a new place as well so who knows how many miles will get put on the bike.

Oh, I'm still a devotee of the Stella, and will be a constant on there especially when I get the other bike built (or when I say f*** it and just buy another Stella that runs)
