makes you wonder who designed these things. Used to have cars where the doors would freeze. They were designed in Detroit!

I wouldn’t say I was moving up. It’s not better, just different. I will keep you posted on the Honda if everyone likes. Not sure about the Forum for the ADV. right now, there’s ice on the roads so it’s sitting. Was really interested in the Piaggio 150 also but our local dealer who is Vespa, Aprillia, and Moto Guzzi also just closed their doors after 3 years. So anyway, it’s the Honda. Thanks again everyone and Happy Holidays!

when I'm parked getting groceries or other errands, someone always asks if it's a Vespa with my Like 200I.

General Discussion / Saying Goodbye/ new scooter
« on: December 12, 2024, 01:33:21 PM »
Don't know if I'm doing this right but I've had a couple of replies about saying goodbye asking me to show the new scooter so here it is. I purchased a brand new Honda ADV160. showing a picture with new top box, or old Kymco top box and my cold weather hand guards. if you look closely, you'll see ice on the ground in upstate NY. hoping it goes away today so I can get out. so far, at only 300 miles, I like the new one. wanted something a little faster and I've had it at GPS, to 64 mph. it only has 300 miles so I don't want to push it yet. getting around 95 mpg but again, it's not broken in. thanks for your support and I will check back again soon.
also, was happy to sell the Kymco Like 200I to a nice lady for her son as a Christmas gift, so I do feel like it ended well. I will miss that scooter. 4 years and totally trouble free

I am sad to do this but I'm saying goodbye. Just purchased a new Honda ADV160 and sold my Kymco Like200I. wanted something just a little faster for the roads in upstate NY. The Kymco like 200I that I had ran perfect for 4 summers and 6100 miles. I will miss all the great advice on this machine. A very nice lady purchased it for her son for a Christmas gift, so it was a happy ending. will miss you guys and will check back from time to time.

I am near Albany NY and there are few scooters. I went to the A Town Rumblers, a scooter group here and same thing, little interest and finally dissolved. I'm still going to ride my like 200i and enjoy it

This might have been already asked but, is everyone aware of Scooterzine magazine? its bi monthly subscription and loaded with scooter news, rides, meetups, and stories. just wondering and if you haven't heard of it, its worth looking at

we just had our capital region toys for tots run here by Brunswick Harley Davidson in NY. we had over 700 riders signed up! I have ridden in them before and it's pretty exciting. I still am not a fan of group rides though. but, it is a great cause

LIKE 200i / Re: 2017 200i Like Should I attempt to revive
« on: October 10, 2024, 10:47:17 PM »
I'm going to say be very careful. It's probably ok and great advice coming at you. just don't overdo it. I've lately seen a couple of really nice like 200i's for around 1400. if some simple things don't get it up and running, be careful on plan B. just saying. I've made those mistakes myself.
If it starts and runs with little done to it, you got a gift because they are fun and reliable

Wife has a 2023 Vespa 300, loves it. our house can't afford 2 so I stay off it. rides like a dream though, and a lot faster than I thought they were. enjoy that one you have. we are lucky enough to have a Vespa dealer less than 10 miles away. hope they stay, things have been really slow for them

my riding buddy has a Burgman. I'll probably ride it sometime. I always think of a scooter to be nimble and light but who knows, a test ride may change my mind. I hear they're really trouble free

it looks great but as you said before, Americans don't embrace the scooter culture. too bad, I think they don't know what they're missing.

yes, you are getting a lot of attention as of this last month. hopefully it dies off. I like that piaggio, looks good. have been looking around at new scooters but nothing reaches out and grabs my attention. I still like the honda pcx for its mpg and fuel range per tank. the like 200i would be awful hard to give up. it's actually grabbed much attention away from my many motorcycles. if they were alive, i bet the kymco would be in a big pile in my garage. lol
