Because they are major depriceators in the US, if I were buying a Kymco scooter, I would buy one used. Mine is 5 years old, has 5,000 miles on it, and I paid $600 USD for it. It is a very nice scooter for that price. If I were going to spend $3000 or so on a motorcycle or scooter, I woulod follow the advice of others who have posted here - consider a 250cc something, and buy it used to save money.
Would maybe put 1,000 miles a year on it.
Wanted something a step up from a moped.

Found one with 2,400 miles on it for $1300 but looks like it has been droped. Left mirror looks to be glued back to the body.

Did see a "new" 2010 for $2,000 though. Will have to see how I feel in a few weeks and what my wifes plan is for my tax return. lol
