STOP! People....Sorry for the dramatic introduction...Really...AGM batteries are the standard now & "if" you invest in a Deltran Battery Tender Jr. & keep your battery on a "float" charge they will last @ least 4-5 years (one of mine lasted 7 years!) You all should be using a battery tender here: www.amazon.com/Battery-Tender-021-0123-Junior-Charger/dp/B000CITK8S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1366231854&sr=8-1&keywords=battery+tender+jr. It's a sub-$25.00 investment! When you keep you scooter battery on the tender when not in use, it does it's job for short coin! I have owned four Kymco's & all have been outstanding! Please keep in mind that 2 have been kept outside (under a cover & plastic tarp) in the New England weather! I always had my Battery Tender Jr. hooked-in to my outside outlet & it's been a champ! |

I have a downeast boat with plenty of Sunbrella fabric. Really good stuff & will last for years if you take care of it. I really like what you have done with it!

It's sunny up here in the Boston area today...but a max of 45 with strong winds. Tomorrow looks better @ high 50's with much less wind!

Yes...$3500.00 brand new is a GREAT price! I looked @ them before I purchased a Kymco Super 8 150cc The problem with Honda dealers is fees! They are INSANE! They wanted list price (ok...I'm fine with that), then they wanted $300.00 for freight, another $220.00 in dealer prep & finally $125.00 in document fee! I said to them....Look..I'll do retail & $100.00 for freight & that's it! They said no way. I tried another dealer 30 minutes away & got the same answer. Great scooter with wonderful gas mileage (near 90MPG) yes...that's not a typo!
If you can score it for that type of money...do it! God knows I would have.

Hi All: WOW....Many thanks for the insight! Geez...I wasn't expecting this type of replies so early! To answer your question...I buying this for myself & giving my Kymco Super 8 150cc to my wife. I'm tall & like those 16" wheels! I owned a Kymco People S200 & loved it. Too bad it's no longer imported to the US shores anymore. I'm well aware of the SYM HD200 (great scooter) but I'm trying too keep the price down as I'll be leaving both scooters @ my parents home in Florida that I visit like 4-5 times a year. I don't care for those 10"-12" tires myself. I find they get a tad "twitchy" above 40+MPH myself. I'm considering keeping the Super 8 for myself & scoring this Bintelli Havoc 150cc for my wife here: www.bintelli.com/150cc/havoc-150ccwww.bintelli.com/150cc/havoc-150cc/2-uncategorised/64-havoc-150cc-galleryI know...The Havoc has 13" tires...but I LOVE the look of the scooter! Too be honest...I really dig the 16" scooter looks. I think I can get the Bintelli Havoc for around $1700.00 delivered to my parents home. I'm a real fanboy of Bintelli! They are the best Chinese-made scooter out there with a "real" dealer network with parts! ...they offer 1-year roadside assistance! I didn't know there was that many Chinese made 16" rimmed scoots out there! I'll follow-up & let you all know what I'm going to purchase. Thanks All! |

Hi All: Here are my two beloved Kymco scooters! GTI300 & my Super 8 150cc! Both are damn near-bullet proof! I keep the Super 8 150cc down @ my parents home in Florida that I visit like 4 times a year. Attachments:
