Got a new scoot...

Post by HuskieMobileMan »

Brand New '05 Kymco ZX50

I considered the DD50 and Zuma, but the tires with the 12" rims put it over the top. Paid $2000 for it out the door (w/tax, title, license).

I LOVE it so far stock, but it is going to breathe fire when I am done with it. Supposedly it goes 45mph derestricted stock, but I have only been up to 30mph so far breaking it in.

I would HIGHLY recommend it if you can get your hands on one!

I will post some pics soon.

i definitely would like some pics. im considering buying one also. where did you get one brand new? i think the zx50 would be the best choice. better than the elite because it has front disc brakes, and better than the dd50 because it doesnt have the goofy fill tube for the gas tank like the dd50 does.

They only have like 3 left. I guess they can't get them anymore either.

Yep, from the burbs. Talk to Johnny and tell 'em Justin sent you. He should hook you up with the same price. :wink:

I think he is referring to the ZX transmission. I thought I read somewhere that the ZX50 does have that transmission though. I am not too worried about it.
