thanks, Juice!  Yes, I remember at the time I made the decision it felt right from the gut.  Felt like the obvious choice.  Thanks for the reminder.  Buyer's remorse has abated, looking forward to next Saturday now!

Thanks, AXY and Zombie, for replying.  Yeah, an $850 bottle of Cab!  You are funny (And I am way too cheap for that!)

I went back to the dealer for one more test drive and ended up deciding on the Sym HD 200.  The extra power is something I felt I did not need, but the scoot fit better and I liked the ride better.  I am having a bit of buyer's remorse today, but I know I'd have similar feelings if I had gone for the People!  So I'm not too worried about it.  Yet.

I suspect the Sym HD 125 might have been the best fit for me, but the sale price on the 200 was lower than regular list on the 125.

Dealer ordered the scooter yesterday, should arrive next Friday, so hopefully I will drive it home in a week!

Hello Kymco Fans,

Last weekend I test drove the Buddy 150, the People 150, and the Sym HD200.

I just got back from test riding them all again, and I have eliminated the Buddy from my list.

Between the Buddy, the People 150, and the HD200, the Buddy's ride felt the harshest. I could feel more of the motor vibration under the seat than with the other two. Also bumps on the road.

So now I'm trying to choose between the People 150 and the HD200. If price were the same, or within 2 or 3 hundred bucks, I'd go for the HD in a heartbeat. But the out the door price is 1000 more for the HD-- 4100 for the HD, 3100 for the People. So now I'm wondering whether the HD will be worth that extra grand to me.

I'm 6 feet tall, under 150 pounds.  I plan to use the scoot for in town riding, maybe occasional weekend short trips to Madera Canyon or up Mt Lemmon (I live in Tucson), maybe occasional 2 up riding.

Any comments or feedback will be most welcome!
