If that were my ad, I'd toss something in there about the fact that Kymco makes the engines for BMW scooters.. For some reason it tends to shock people, even though it's far from the first time BMW has used someone else to manufacture engines.. The BMW F650 Singles were Rotax engines.. And they're still known for excellent power and longevity. The guys that I know who have BMW scooters rave about the engines!! :)

That's a good suggestion, thanks! 

Craigslist is funny, there's no shortage of buyers for 75 cents on the dollar.  A little patience and better weather and it'll sell.

I had the wing out stretching it's legs Thursday, no faster than just barely above the posted limit  ::)

The Xciting hit the market:

I rode the wing to work Tuesday and Wednesday, what a nice ride!  If we could only do something about those idiotic beltline drivers.

I admire your flat bed, Paper.  :)

Hey Stig, I went for a ride tonight and got caught in some rain (not on purpose).  I'll try your "head turning" trick sometime, maybe tomorrow.   :)

Thanks.  Bought it from an old guy who loved it.  My wife was watching as I drove away, she said he had tears in his eyes.

I would be riding today as well but need to pick up a 5 gallon bucket of drywall mud at Menards.  A more accomplished rider no doubt could pull it off.

I had a gl1100 back in 1990 but sold it when I took on a wife and moved to a colder climate.  It's funny how things have gone full circle, purchasing the "new" wing is at her request, an attempt to reconnect.

Boy I was a lot skinnier 24 years ago.   ::)

lol the wing is something small for a run to the grocery store, my everyday ride is that white thing in the background.





Only time will tell if I keep the wing, it was a pretty plain vanilla 60 mile ride home after the purchase.  I also test rode a '04 Concourse today, now THAT bike has got some spunk.   :)  Had to pass on it though as my boys were, um, compromised by the seating position.

Picked up a clean 1987 Interstate today because the ladies in my life enjoy a big back seat.   ;D   It's been a fun year but the Xciting may be going bye-bye, stay tuned...

It's been two months of white hell here Wisconsin but we hit 40° today.  Put the battery in the beast, one crank and she's alive!  Nice machine that Kymco. :)

If you have a smartphone you can use a GPS ap.  The two I use are  DigiHUD and Ulysse Speedometer.  The phone mount is X-grip by Ram Mount.
