This dealer pre prices before looking at the bike when they get it from auction. They then do necessary repairs to make it profitable to sell, mark it at just above reasonable price then tack on another $2000 in fees. Saying the customer has to pay for them buying a busted bike, fixing it so they can even sell it, charge you for them cleaning it and doing typical cost-of-ownership maintenance, plus doc fees. Doc fees and taxes I get. But it's gross they put it at a somewhat ok price to get people to call then throw $2000 on top last second and talk to you like you're dumb because you know that's scummy. If you advertise a bike for $6,999 and then say the out the door price is $9000 then just put it up for $8500. Oh but that wouldn't be a good market price for a 2014 zx10r with over 20k miles, huh?

This was bought as new old stock in 2018. The battery on the dash clock died. The speedometer cluster had to be replaced to fix it. Within a year the second one died. I didn't bother to change it.
The tires don't get a good grip on wet roads. Some bolts have come loose and fallen off of the rear fender. The headlight low beam is aimed too low and is very weak. The high beam is aimed too high and works OK. I avoid riding at night because of this.
With almost 7000 km the suspension is getting rough. The clutch isn't engaging smoothly. The scooter chatters a bit while accelerating from a stop while the clutch fully engages.
The scooter is much quicker than my old 125 cc Grom clone. It has more horsepower and it shows. It also gets bad fuel mileage by comparison. It gets between 60 and 91 mpg US. The speedometer is off by 5 mph. Does this mean that the odometer is off too? If so, these mpg numbers are 10% too high.
The engine is smoother now than when new. The mpg is also up. Lately my 35-40 mph commutes are at 85-91 mpg. If I must ride across town at 50 mph the mileage drops to near 60 mpg.
The stator doesn't charge the battery fast enough. It will charge the battery but the headlight remains dim at idle speed. It is on the second battery. Which isn't a real criticism. I'm glad that it has a kick starter. I rode without a functioning battery for months. All motorcycles need to have kick starters.
The lockable storage under the seat cannot hold a full face helmet. This is disappointing. There is no light inside.
The top speed is around 53 mph at 500 feet above sea level using GPS.
The brakes work fine. I prefer the rear drum brake over a disc because it doesn't need brake fluid and is easy to adjust. The front disc works well and is difficult to lock on dry roads.
The graphics are stickers. The colors are fading on them. The scooter has been kept indoors or covered when at home. The mirror stalks come loose with the slightest bump, despite being tightened with the included wrench.
The floor board is totally flat. Which is good for hauling things that will fit. My size 8 shoes can fit front to back on each side with an inch of clearance. In the center the shoe is about an inch too long to to fit. That is where the frame rail is.
There is an oil screen, no disposable filter. To me this is a good thing. It means saving money and not needing to find filters. Removing the drain bolt and the oil screen cleaning port require a box or socket wrench. Open ended wrenches seem to strip the soft metal even if they are a perfect fit. It is difficult to reinstall the filter screen because the strong spring pushes against the cap.
Oil changes are required every 600 miles. Sorry, no way. I'm using synthetic and semi-synthetic oils to extend that period. My last oil change interval was about 1400 miles and the oil wasn't black. It was still brown. There was no dirt in the filter screen. The scooter doesn't burn any oil yet.
The seat comfort is OK for an hour before it becomes noticeable. What I love about scooters is their floor boards that protect the rider from road debris and that allow infinite foot positioning for comfort.
Would I buy this again? Maybe. It depends on how long it lasts. The price is right. This is because it was made in China. There is a big sticker above the grocery bag hook below the handlebar that says so. KYMCO is a Taiwanese company, but they make lots of things in China. Is the metallurgy and engineering at the same level of a Taiwanese made product? I don't know with certainty. What I can say is that the oil drain plug bolt strips too easily. That means low quality metal for that part. One could assume that the other metals are also not of high quality.
I do like that there is an audible turn signal indicator. Most expensive motorcycles don't even have that.
It is likely that this will be traded for something else before it is worn out. As much as I love the scooter size and style, at this time I'm wanting a motorcycle with much bigger wheels to handle rough roads. These little wheels when ridden over dirt and the slightest rough conditions are VERY jarring. The top speed over such dirt can't be over 5 mph or it would shake itself apart. This would apply to all scooters with small wheels.
I might get something like a Honda Trail 125 or a small used dual sport motorcycle. This is solely for comfort and safety over bad roads. The good thing about KYMCO is their two year warranty. Most other manufacturers won't do that. I hope that this helped. Keep on riding. :)

So I dropped by the honda yamaha dealership to check out 3 bikes. A honda grom a honda monkey and a honda navi. I was excited and ready to start the process. After looking at them i settled on the navi. Once i spoke to the agent he told me that price was up of 4500 for the honda navi. On thier website it states 1900 rounded up. I understand taxes and fees. But 4500? I told him about the website and he said yes thats msrp. Its not what we actually said it for. So then why advertise msrp if you are not going to sell for msrp. Complete false advertisement.

Changed out the bars for correct ones and did a few things to improve rideability. Fell in love with it! A rocket on 2 wheels that sounds like nothing else. Have 109,000 km now and runs like Jack the bear. Very nimble bike, took it on many long trips with no issue even though it's 40 years old. Comfortable to a point, souple hours and 200 km and it's time to get off and gas up anyways. Silky smooth engine!

I’ve owned this K1200RS since 2004, and have ridden it all over the country. Miles and miles , one and two up. It has never been an issue riding all day for a week or more. As you riders know, this can be tiring, especially if you are not in riding shape. Wind buffering behind the stock windshield is almost non existent. Solid and confidence inspiring going along the interstate. Comfortable and planted while powering through corners of all types. Fun. This bike is solid as a “brick”. The aero dynamics are outstanding.
Mechanically, I’ve never had even a small issue with this bike, ever. The BMW K12RS is an outstanding sport touring bike. Even at the age of this model, it’s still competitive with the Yamaha FJR and Kawasaki Concourse. Not as much horsepower or torque, but that is understandable considering the age of the motor and technology improvements etc.
If you have an 02-04 with cruse control and heated seats you are riding an almost perfect bike, in my opinion. If I can think of anything else to add I’ll edit this as we go along.

Riding quality has three settings sport normal and comfort and they all mean what they say. The adjust on the fly windshield is worth its weight in gold. The adapting headlight means never turning i to a corner without be able to see what’s there. I’ve ridden bikes over 50 years and if there is a faster more comfortable better quality bagger Ive never seen it.
