Small dealer 30 miles away. Why do we not see these on the scoot sites, are they that good or that bad. Healthy price 4 sure.

Rumor has it they are the same quality as SYM and other Taiwanese bikes.

Seriously? Kymco scooters are top line, virtually Japanese quality scooters that last and last and run like the wind. A good 125 Agility is as fast, or faster, than a Chinese 150 and will never disappoint. The Agility and Super 8 150 are built in Kymco's China plant but are just as good as their Taiwan built bikes for less money. Cycle World magazine tested the Super 8 and came away impressed.

From what I hear the Like 200 is selling for $2600 now and is the bargain of the century.

Paul Smith www.scootinfool.blogspot.com has a 2008 People S 150 with over 20,000 miles. He uses it like a car with no troubles.

There is a very small scooter shop about 12 miles from me that sells kymco bikes. It is quality, if I ever saw it. Just looking at the way it is put together and the finishing touches on it are so much better than my chinese B 54. I was considering buying one before I bought my 54B. Only reason I didn't was the main reason that we buy chinese. Price. It was over 4000 dollars (it was a 250 that was loaded with everything. Very nice bike. Some day, I hope to purchase this kymco bike.

If my next bike isn't a motorcycle, there's a very good chance it will be a Kymco. I think I might have fallen in love with the Downtown 300i in burnt orange.

There's a Kymco dealer just a few miles from my office. I haven't been over to see them, but I've thought about it many times. I just don't think I could live with the temptation.

Honda SH 150i-MSRP $4500- Not changing anytime soon.

Kymco Yager 200 MSRP $3500 More power, also water cooled and fuel injected. A SYM HD 200 is also about the same price. Kicks a Honda's butt.

But if you want Chinese I found this little tasty beauty last night. If I could sneak it into the garage I would in a minute.

If I had Japanese scooter money:

2011 Honda PCX 125

I have always looked at the pcx as nothing short of beautiful.

and am sure it is dam bullet proof bike and better then sym or kym. but too little power, for me, i have to dodge red necks a lot.

having got my first bike behind me, i think sym or kymco anything 200-250 up must be next.

But Zingyue could not have treated me better.

BELOW KYMCO 250 4200.00 REAL BUCKS

The "Buy It Now" price is $3295 against an MSRP of around $3400. What a bargain. Kymco Likes available for $2600 and someone should settle for a 125? You could buy a Yager for that much and hit the highway.

[earthman]

yes kz and it appears folks are reporting parts jam ups from japan

Amazing isnt it, thats what I have on order. With the mones to buy a home and people backing out on the car I have for sale I laid it away. Im buying it with junk money ( Junk money= stuff that needs thrown out, but put online or taken to flea market, or returned to store for credit, So far Ive raised another $94.00 and have another $350 coming from car parts. We got rained out at the Flea Market this weekend, but Ill get the balance from the riding tractor I bought a few weeks ago. Im going to take the driving lights and the additional headlamp off of the wildfire and lower the price on it too.

a dollar saved is a dollar earned.

I think we should put KZ in charge of finding the best deals on the net, with a finders fee.

bet he would get rich quick.
