Hi, just got on the Kymco bandwagon by purchasing a nice very low mileage '08 Xciting 500. I had purchased a Lance duke 250 about two weeks ago and decided after about 30 miles that at 6'4" and 205lbs, the 250 wasn't going to cut it. I also quickly developed some concerns about build quality and reliablility. I immediately replaced the stock windshield on the Kymco with a tall Givi. This has certainly changed the character of the bike (for the better......I think). It came with the Givi top box. I still have the Duke which will be going up on craigslist with <100 miles. I also have a cherry '85 Honda Elite which I used to carry on the back of my motorhome years ago. 25 years old and still looks and runs like new. I just keep it around for sentimental reasons. Also have a Triumph Triple (1050cc) but hip replacement makes it too difficult to ride. Would love to meet any maxiscooterist in the northwestern Atlanta suburbs. Seems like a lot of good information on this board. Happy I found it. I'm going through old posts looking for general info. Looking forward to many (s)miles on the x500 (until the 700i becomes available :).
