I just checked their entire 2009 lineup. Nice stuff and they are offering some Vespa look alikes that should give the Piaggio folks fits.

Tyre Size

Front 120/80-14
Rear 150/70-13

Just checked for quality tires for the Kymco (I'm a SC 250 owner, I know how annoying it can be to own a scooter with strange tyre sizes)

seems that 120/80-14 + 150/70-13 are very common - both Pirelli Diablo, Metzeler Feelfree and Metzeler Feelfree Wintec fits.

He he, yeah - I think the engineers at Piaggio have to take a closer look at their "300 cc" engine again. It simply isn't good enough.

I don't know how Kymco's USA line up is, but I think this one could be a worthy replacement overseas for Honda SH 300.

Looking forward to read the first tests.

How you get on? I like my 200 has big opening, very low - easy to step through.

I'm not a fan of the maxi-scooter styling at all. It looks too bulky. Like a recliner on wheels. Though, I do have to give Kymco credit for making a windshield that doesn't look dorky.

I also like the step through design better

**YammaPapa** · 03-04-2009, 11:47 PM

I own both a step thru and a maxi.

You can still step thru a maxi with a little practice as I've learned on my T-Max...I had it figured out on the first try (not 'cus I'm smart...'cus it's quite easy!)
