Title: Need your help really quick, gold or black?
Post by: Mscmkr on May 08, 2015, 06:54:26 PM: Could be buying another GT today or tomorrow and just wanted everyone's input. They have gold and black available and I just wanted to know what everyone would pick. $3199 is an absolute steal for one of these and I just can't pass it up.

Thanks and ride safe, mscmkr

Post by: PDXGT on May 08, 2015, 07:34:36 PM: I'm probably in the minority but I like the gold. On mine it's more of an orange metallic than what I would consider gold. That is a great price too.

Post by: MassScoot on May 08, 2015, 09:43:39 PM: Yuck! That's is the most hideous color there is! Looks like a "pimp" scooter with curb feelers. Too me it looks like a bad hairstyle of the 80's To each their own I guess.
Title: I vote black
Post by: boo on May 08, 2015, 10:35:43 PM: I have one in black.
That is a good price on a late model model GT.
Wish I could have found a leftover at a reduced price when I bought mine.
Could not. Ended up paying about $5400. OTD but, it was a current year model at the time and the first and only one in my area.

Post by: Mscmkr on May 08, 2015, 11:36:02 PM: It's a 2013 GT and its brand new in the crate. Is it a bad thing that every time im about to head to my credit Union to buy the thing I have flashes of crashing? I can't seem to get that out of my head.

Ride safe everybody, mscmkr

Post by: Yellow Jacket on May 09, 2015, 02:01:56 AM: Are we talking $3200 OTD? If so that is one super deal. Where is this?
BTW, buy the black and never look back.
Title: Re: Need your help really quick, gold or black?
Post by: Mscmkr on May 09, 2015, 04:31:19 AM: It's $3199 plus tax but still a great deal. That's $2200 off MSRP. With shipping and the whole thing I'm looking at about $4000 OTD. It's at Heinen motorsports in Minnesota. They have several available. I called them today and they said they bought the back stock that Kymco had left. Just having problems actually doing it. Flashbacks are interesting I have to say.

Ride safe everyone, mscmkr

That's the hot number right now. Two or three dealers are at that number. Get them while they last rumor has it the 2013 are about gone.
Title: Re: Need your help really quick, gold or black?
Post by: Mscmkr on May 09, 2015, 09:16:10 PM: No assembly. The bike is turn key and ready to roll. It's shipped in a larger crate so I can just go pick it up and ride it home. I may go Monday and buy it. We will see.
Title: Re: Need your help really quick, gold or black?
Post by: Yellow Jacket on May 09, 2015, 10:10:44 PM: I think you will be very happy with this. I've owned mine for about 2 years now and I like it the best of the 10 different scooters I've owned. I liked it so well that when I bought it it was the first brand new bike I'd bought in 18 years.

Title: Re: Need your help really quick, gold or black?
Post by: Mscmkr on May 13, 2015, 10:47:24 AM: Not yet. My brain keeps getting in the way. Last Friday I actually got in my car and started towards the credit union to get everything set to buy it and ended up at Chipotle instead. I think if I do it's going to be more of a just for fun bike instead of 4 days a week transport like my last one. I was on my GT every minute I could before. Of course I keep hearing horror stories from everyone I meet about there accidents so it makes me even more gun shy. Oh well, I will keep everyone posted.

Ride safe, mscmkr

Hello mscmkr
I am not suggesting you buy it and I am not suggesting you don't buy it but if enjoy riding you can use the GT300i for fun. I do and my work is 5 blocks away. There is no doubt about it this is a dangerous sport but if you are careful and mindful of others you can start again. As Valentino Rossi says, step by step. Also other people who crash do so due for specific situations which are different than yours. Some may have a bad marriage but some may have a great one and each will have a different perspective. Just a thought....
Title: Re: Need your help really quick, gold or black?
Post by: Mscmkr on May 13, 2015, 03:22:39 PM: I have to thank everyone for all the input and positive vibes. I'm going to buy the bike and I have decided on black. Funny, I was definitely set on buying the gold again, then I saw a few pics of the black and thought about all the things that would match and look great on black and that was it. I should have it ordered by the weekend. My B-day is the end of the month and I hope I will have it by then. Maybe I can finally take it up north and do some ridding up the there?

Thanks again and ride safe everyone, mscmkr

Well, we cannot do anything about your brain.
We do understand your concerns about safety.
I was rear ended at a traffic light last summer. There was nothing I could have done to prevent it from happening.
Riding my GT is my favorite pass time.
I try to do things that put the odds in my favor like: ride the back roads where traffic is light, wear bright clothing, ride when i'm rested, alert, and feel good, keep my scoot in good repair, etc.
Most things now days are a gamble.
Guess I would be safest sitting in my easy chair all the time.
Personally, I choose to take my chances and enjoy life. So I ride.
Not trying to sway you either way.
It is your life and body.
Good luck in which path you take and god bless.
