Now, Chas, why would ANY SANE PERSON BUY A PIECE OF JUNK LIKE A KYMCO (LOL)?
Just kidding, of course! I've had my little 150 since 2002, with absolutely no service issues, except a battery every three years. Only have 4250 kilometers on it, but it's only used from the office to lunch, a downtown appointment, etc. I have a windshield and a luggage box. While it will hold 60 MPH fairly easily, it's going flat-out and not good for interstates. I've been on that monster you have, and it will easily cruise at 70mph on interstates all day. I'd ride non-stop to Atlanta today on it. In fact, when (and it may be soon) it's uncomfortable for me to ride my Savage (the clutch gives my left hand fits after a while), that would be the very one I'd get.
Must be mental epilepsy....great minds thinking alike, and all that.
Now, all you have to do is figure out where to tie that Nord on...!
Enjoy...see you soon!
