Hello, My purchase of a new scooter is down to Agility 125 and the Like 200i.
Need experienced advice.
I plan to run my scooter in town, no more than 35 mph, 3 -5 miles to work only. But will be using it in ALL weather (except snow/ice covered streets) ALL year around. The Kymco and I will be out in the weather all day while I'm at work.
{Small question> what are good locking devices & do I need a cover?}
BIG QUESTION: How will the carbureted Agility respond to these weather conditions - compared to the fuel-injected Like 200i(which I am told is not much bothered by adverse weather due to EFI) ??
My salesman says lack of EFI is not an issue to be concerned with.
I will be pulling the trigger on the Agility ($2436 OTR) or the Like200i ($3185 OTR) likely this w/e.
Also, comments on my prices appreciated. Thes guys have a good rep - but also a rep for not 'dealing' on their stuff.
Thank you kindly........

If you drive it all the time carb vs EFI is not a big issue. The fuel injected bike will get better
gas mileage and might be a bit less cranky in cold weather. They should cruise at similar speeds.
Not sure about the price, I got my Yager last year for $3500 and thought it was a great deal!

I did almost 13k miles (20.000km) on my Agiliy in just over a year, and that included sub-freezing temperatures,
and even some light snow (1/2"). It was ridden daily and it never missed a beat, so there is really no issues with that.
That said, the Like 200i is smoother, starts even better, is considerably faster (30-50mph for example), top speed is just
slightly higher but you said that doesn't matter, and you'll get better MPG figures out of the Like, especially at low speeds.
Also, the Like has a bigger seat and more room for legs/knees, and a bigger underseat storage if I remember
correctly.
If you can afford the Like, I'd take that, but you can't go wrong with either.

I have had both types and had problems with both. Carbs don't like to sit for long periods with gas in them but if you ride at least several times a week all year they will love you and perform very well. MY current agility 125 has not shown any real carb problems and always starts right up. Previously I had a Zuma 125 that left me stranded due to a failed fuel pump and the part was not available so I had to trade it in, otherwise I would still be riding it. My dealer would have sold the 2013 Agility 125 to me for $1750 but I added a helmet, battery tender pigtail plus $250 cashback to me into the 1.9% financing deal from Kymco. Still paid less than what your dealing is asking. Prices vary location to location. They are even cheaper in WI or MN.
