Title: New to Kymco and this discussion board
Post by: Rob on March 02, 2023, 10:30:46 PM: I am waiting for my 2022 XTown 330i to be delivered. I bought it used with 113 miles on it. It was traded in to a Crysler, Dodge, Jeep dealer nearby for a new truck. I am new to Kymco but not new to scooters and motorcycles. Being retired and 73, I was just looking for a scooter that wouldn't be a hazard on a 55 mph highway. That put me in the 150 cc range, but just, and we have a lot of hills in Central NY. This scooter showed up on Market Place and is basically a brand new scooter at a very good price so I bought it. My last scooter was a Piaggio BV200 that I loved and I hope that I feel the same way about this one. I went with Kymco because they are the only decent dealer nearby. Stay tuned for my first ride report once the snow melts and the temperature is at least 50.

What color is your new Kymco ?

The scooter is a great ride with just the right mix of power, handling and looks to satisfy most. It'll top out at around 75-80 mph so should be fine at double nickle speeds.

My experience didn't end well, but I think I maybe had a Friday afternoon / Monday morning machine? Proof of the pudding? I traded it in for another Kymco, a DTX360/320.

Post by: Rob on March 05, 2023, 03:56:58 PM: Apparently the XTown was purchased new last July. The original owner never rode it and used it to pay off a debt to his employer who also never rode it. He traded it in on the purchase of a new truck a couple weeks ago. The dealership posted it on FB Marketplace, I saw it and bought it.

Sounds like others' misfortune is your great good fortune!

Post by: Rob on April 09, 2023, 05:14:12 PM: I was able to confirm that the warranty got transferred to my name, but only after sending registered letters and several messages to the KYMCO contact page. This is a good thing, since it developed a coolant leak and I had to have it trailered to the local dealer 25 miles away.
