Kymco or Honda By beachbum (Read 1,109 times)

Hey guys, I have been thinking of getting another scooter. Right now I am looking at the Kymco Like 200i (163cc) or another Honda Elite 110. I love EFI on both. The extra power is not really a factor. Kymco is air cooled vs Honda liquid cooled.

I don't know about Kymco's durability.

I guess I just want to know if Kymco's are as well built as Honda's

Thanks

Most agree now that Kymco is on a par with Honda. I think Hondas are overpriced but undeniably a great product. Honda parts are pricey too. I'd go with the Kymco, air cooled isn't a factor with the new building materials that they use. Rich

Paul Smith ( www.scootinfool.blogspot.com ) has owned a Kymco People since 2008. He took it from PA to western Mass. on State highways with no ill effects. In 15,000 miles all he's done is routine work. For my money the 200i is a better package. It's capable of highway runs, if necessary, something the 110 Honda would be hard pressed to do.

Hey thanks for the impute guys. I am leaning towards the Kymco. It's quite a scooter for the price....especially hearing these testimonials about them.
