General Discussion / Re: scooter zine
« on: November 04, 2024, 01:37:33 AM »
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

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

Anyone know if there's crash bars available for my 2020 like 200i? don't see anything. would like them for the looks

LIKE 200i / Re: 5000 miles

I'm really happy with this scooter. you seem to be making yours last forever. If mine goes, I'll use my Honda super cub 125 more. The Kymco is keeping me away from it. last fill up on the super cub I got 133 MPG! very nice ride but I'm 5 6". anyone tall, I'd recommend the aftermarket long seat. I'd be curious of who has the most miles out of one, It might be you

I hope mine goes that far. I thought 5000 miles was good. no repairs yet. just gas, tires, and oils. first 1800 miles were slippery on the plastic original tires. didn't know they were that bad until I put on Michelin city grips

On my 200i I have the flashing brake light that stops flashing are 5 seconds if you hold the brake on. I think it gets the attention of the other drivers.

by the way, thanks for the repair videos for the 200i. that's how I got the valves adjusted. only took me about 45 minutes. I remember my Honda pcx150 was a 4 hour job. if you read the pcx forum, not many do them. I'm thinking my Honda super cub125 will be a lot easier

mine is a 2020 like 200i
I think this is the last year. glad I got it when I did. I thought to be a good price at 3k out the door. had to wait a long time, was beginning to think it wasn't coming. has been great, just adjusted the valves last week. not much difference but good check
