:piwyrwelcome: WELCOME MAX !! :piwyrwelcome:

:hyosungcool:

I'm not sure but does Kymco even offer the NOX in Hungary ? :rubeyes:
I know the 'old' Honda Magna 250 which the Nox is based off of was there till they stopped production in 2002. :okthumb:
(when the Kymco released the Venox)

You might have to see about getting it imported from nother country ! :pull:

Have you check the KYMCO GLOBAL website, its here on the site ''live'.

Give me a min. I'll go see.

Nope the distributor does not show the venox on their site.

You can check here for countries close to you.

:WelcomeWave: Welcome Max, keep looking, if you look long enough I'm sure you'll find your dream, or else have an alternative dream like a GV250 :okthumb: and find that. Either way you win :biggrin:

:WelcomeWave: G'day Max and welcome to the Pride and good luck with the hunt for your Venox, there has to be one around there somewhere. We dont have them over here unfortunately but I have seen a Kymco scooter in my travels though. :evilgrin1:

Hi everyone thanks for the support. I went to some hunting on the website and found the nearest one is in Slovenia, I also rote the manager there to see how much they want for one and the specs. He said they don’t have injection types and they are asking 5000 euros for a carburetor type having 27bhp. Does that sound right? having exams soon will be studying out of my head so will be off for a while. Don’t worry I got this web locked on favorites will be back with news soon. Around July will be traveling home (Taiwan) and I will also talk to the people there about the bike issue I am having.

The 27hp is correct , in some places is listed at 28hp.
As a comparision the Honda Rebel 250 is rated at 18hp.

We do not get the FI version here either just the carb.
I think Italy get the FI and I know Spain does though they are more.

Have no idea what the euro converts to ??? in usd $$.
Maybe check some other EU sites to compare euro to euro ?

One of our members visited the factory/headquarters in Taiwan last year..geekonabike. There is a write up on the Kymco boards.


Just bumped the topic and here is a link to it too...

5000 Euro at todays rate is $7,732 USD

Current Price for GV250 is $3,499 USD +tax

Current Price for GV650 is $6,399 USD + tax.

Prices may varying slightly due to exchange rate, but that dealer is asking double the standard price. :pull:

obxbiker - May 19, 2008 07:19 AM (GMT)
Currently the MSRP in the USA on the BEST 250 is $4299 USDA but can be gotten at some dealers for $3899 USDA.

Is that euro price including delivary by the SWEDISH BIKINI team ?

Hi all! while I was hunting for venox earlier on I had a look at prices at home and it was around 5000 usd for an injected one.
I should be home around July so maybe will also take a tour at the factory.
I belive they are asking for way way to much in Europe.
I hope I can see someone high benched person at the factory too, maybe able to buy in Taiwan with a student loan and ask then to ship it for me... got a taiwan ID and everything... we will see! anyone know who exactly should I talk to when I get there? Again lots of thanks to everyone here.

no... geekonabike (Mike) is the only one who has had contact and he just called them when he got there. Maybe send him a PM and/or EMAIL as now with out a venox he's not here all the time so might not see this post.
