General Comments
08 Kymco xciting 500Ri. No abs but fuel injected. I prefer no abs as I want to do the handling, not abs taking over for me. Love the color and easy to get accessories for. Everyone looks!
Added laminar lip/ airhawk seat/chrome foot boards/wind flares/Kymco backrest with chrome bar, 2 cortech tail bags that they said don ' t hook together but do with the saddlebags. So change the buckles and all is great! They sit on top of each other as bottom one is round while top one is flat. Mpg from 55-63mpg depending on speed etc. I have 1417 ks or 880 miles on it and bought it 3 months ago.
