Why can't u get a Venox 250 in the U.S, ?

Thats strange i thought that you can... if you really really want one why not take my? you going to have to pay for transport... selling my here in Europe real cheap because i got to go to canada... you can take it for at the moment 2000 bucks.

I was talking to a guy at Kymco's US headquarters in Spartanburg, SC last year, and he told me that the bike hadn't been selling well, even at a reduced MSRP. Since they weren't making a profit on Venox sales in the US, Kymco decided to drop the bike from its US lineup in 2009. My 2009 sat in a showroom until my brother purchased it in 2011. Brand awareness (lack thereof) had a lot to do with the slow sales--even last month when I took my Venox to a dealer for valve servicing, nobody knew what it was "we thought Kymco just made scooters". And this was a major dealer who also sold Kymco scooters! Even if they re-introduced the Venox back into the now ready-for-smaller-motorcycles US market, it would not sell due to the unfamiliarity with the brand.

iF i WAS MOVING TO cANADA from theUSA, I would pick up one of thoswe scooters from Hienen motor sports, ride it for a year and sell it for a nice profit, GT 300i going for 2999.99, in canada over 6,000.00 if you could even get one,
