Don't listen to dipshit above, the Kymco Pulsar is superior to the recent influx of chinese crap. I have had 2 Kymco's and they have been solid. There is one on ebay at the moment with more than 80k on the clocks. Shocked

Not made in China, made in Taiwan. Also the same factory that produced genuine honda engines for the last 50 years. I read up on it one night.

Kymco are good little bikes Thumbs Up My friend has one (not a Pulsar, mind you) and she has been riding it for a good couple of years now without any major problems!

My last bike was a Kymco KR Sport and it was a fantastic 125.
Never had any problems with it, and the build quality was really good.

And as stated above, its NOT a cheap Chinese bike manufacturer and the reason they are made along side Honda is because they used to be Honda before it split into 3 different sub companies (Honda, Kymco and SYM)

BMW's new £10K+ maxi scooters are made by Kymco, then Herman the Hun bolts the front wheel on and they slap a "Made in Bavaria" sticker on it.

Kymco engines in particular are in demand: as well as Honda and BMW, some mainland Chinese manufacturers are partnering with Kymco now. That's pretty impressive when you consider how they normally try to do everything in house to avoid paying a markup to another company.

If you can find a reliable source of parts. CMPO.co.uk don't list parts for it, which is surprising, and WeMoto only have the basic consumables, so you may be at the mercy of the dealers if anything goes wrong.

I expect you'll hum and haw and ask more questions then it'll be gone, and we'll get the same question about a succession of bikes for weeks or months.

Surprise me.

Remember what I said in chat. Go take a look at it, then make up your mind. It's a bargain if it's in working order, but I wouldn't hesitate if I were you!
