People 250 / People 250S against the Italians
« on: March 11, 2011, 03:52:06 AM »
Hi, Not getting any responses here, so I'll keep it simple. How does the People S 250 compare  against the 250cc Italians. Surely some of you have shopped them all before you chose the Kymco. Any thoughts? Thanks. :)

People 250 / New member needs some buying advice
« on: March 11, 2011, 01:17:52 AM »
Hi all, I am hoping that I can get some good recommendations here about a couple of scooters I am considering for purchase. I am 57, 6'3", 250# and have ridden or owned every flavor of motorcycles since I was 17. I am currently bikeless and have  never owned a scooter. I am not into blinding acceleration or light speed top speeds anymore, though I would like handling and great brakes. Reliability is near the top of the list and I can work on my own stuff. I would use it for some commuting (50mils one way) and a very occasional small tour/trip. I have looked at and ridden the Xciting 500 and the People S 250 and liked the style of the People more. I have also ridden the Aprilia Scarabeo 500ie and looked at the Sportcity Cube 250. I think a 250 will haul me around, but will it last and which would be better? Or is a 500 the only way to go? Money is a concern and all of these bikes can be had for $5k or less as new 2009 leftovers. Thanks in advance, Bill
