hey there,
i am new to the forum. been lurking around long enough, figured it was about time ti register :) i live in so cal. i ride a 2012 Xciting 500 RI abs. had it for 8-9 months, has just under 12k miles on it and my wife and i love it. i started on a 2012 Super8 150cc (first bike) about a year and a half ago that my wife and i bought to putt around on and see how we liked things and riding became a big part of our life so naturally..., we upgraded. i am looking forward to meeting some other kymco fans out there and getting to know some more scoot enthusiasts.

Welcome Speedee! I ride the weenie xc250. Whereabouts in so cal?

to the forum Speedee86.
Good guys and gals here and they share good information.
Ride safe.

Yeah, welcome to the forum! Nice ride! Need a report on how the ABS works if you ever got that deep in the brakes. SoCal is one of THE great places for two wheels. I would like to take one more trip up Cal 78 or 79 or both to Julian for a cuppa coffee and some of their apple pie!

thanks and thanks. i actually have a few occasions (unfortunately) had to wrench on the brakes and have experienced the abs both at freeway speed and on the street. i am happy (and fortunate) to say that the abs works amazingly. and still feels stable when it kicks in. i feel comfortable and confident in it :) knock on wood. would rather not have to test it out though lol

Hey and welcome!

Welcome to the forum. This is a great place to discuss the Kymco product. I currently ride a Agility 125 2012 and I love my bike. She is great. Happy rider fellow scoterist.

Welcome to the forum speedee...!! Great ride you got there!!

You lucky dog - I lived and rode in San Diego 25 years ago, I really miss the area, hope to move back some day.
The 250 is a bit underpowered for the xc frame, and makes riding a bit of a thinking game as the torque isn't there to pull out of trouble. That 500 RI is a sweet looking ride!

Welcome to the forum from me in Oregon! Nice ride you have there. ;)

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and the compliments. Love my 500 :)

Ah bummer. Im sure its still enjoyable to ride though. Maybe a couple mods? Some sliders? What have you had your 250 up to, mph wise? You should move back, I am atleast one other xc to meet up and cruise with. :)
I love the 500. Thing is a beast.
