Cheesh! My "dream bikes"...
Back when I bought my old Kymco Grandvista 250, I test-rode both the 500 and the 700 twin "My Road". I fell in LOVE with both of them. Sadly, age and arthritis kept me into a true "step-through" model of modest weight, and "Minnie Mouse's" 360 pounds is all I'm comfortable with walking it backwards into my uphill home driveway... Old age SUCKS!!!
Anyone in halfway decent shape would love either the 500 or 700. They ARE large and a tad heavy. Much more like riding a big touring motorcycle. Not "scooter-nimble" in tight traffic, but they are a DREAM to ride. If you really want more of a scooter feel, the 500 is the way to go. If you want more of a touring motorcycle experience, the 700 is sweet!
If I was young and spry, I'd be enjoying one of those bargain-priced new 700's right now!!! Oh, YES!!!
For some reason, the 700 "My Road" never did sell well. Maybe just too large, too heavy and too limited a market, but you CAN find them NEW for somewhere around HALF-PRICE!!!
Kymco quality is second to none, and, if you can manage a battleship on two wheels, GO FOR THE 700! If you still crave some vestige of a "scooter" feel, but with SERIOUS cajones, snag the 500...
The price on that 500 sounds OK, but I think you could get it down a little... Either the 500 OR the 700 are true DREAM bikes of the scooter genre!
I'm probably the original Kymco fan on the site... They are just plain GREAT rides! I am a tad predjudiced because mine has been so satisfactory... LOL!
Hope you get one or the other! Or BOTH... (only kidding...)
Ride safe! And ride COMFORTABLE on either of those sweet rides!!!!

Sounds like he's hot to sell. Offer him something lower (but reasonable) and see what he counters with.

So, now I have to THINK?  I am very happy with my 2016 Kymco Super 8 150R. Looks like a nice Kymco. You can probably get it for $1700 - $1800... |

$2100 for a quality scooter with 4,200 is a bargain. It will give you your money's worth easily and go anywhere.
