Russ, stop me!!! I just went out to look at, and ended up purchasing, a Kymco Xciting 500. At the moment, I have less than 100 miles on the Lance Duke 250 that I bought a couple of weeks ago. The guy made me an offer I couldn't refuse. It doesn't have a great rep for performance, but it does for comfort and reliability (which is more important to me right now). I'll probably put the Lance up on Craigslist and try to break even.......or just keep it around for fun rides around the neighborhood.

PS: Nice bike, Mike. I'm getting out of the Motorcycle business (still have 4); too old plus a hip replacement. Looks like it's going to be scooters only in my future. Sniff, sniff. I started out with an old Harley 74 when I was @ 16.
