Very mild here in the UK but wet and windy. The bike is under the cover. The Mazda can do the running round for a day or two

Living here in the UK, I fully support the action being taken. These thieves have no conscience and are making the lives of law abiding citizens a misery. Unlike the US our police officers are not armed. This is long overdue

MCDCFC3 is right. For me, I would have continued riding my 110 everywhere but I needed those extra CCs for the hills around the peaks; Rocester, Cubley, sometimes Ashbourne and Belper etc. for my commute to Nottingham.

Sometimes I catch myself thinking that a 250 would be nice. But I'm sure that if I had a 250, I'd probably want a 400. In reality, the 163cc gets me up hills and over to work at about 90KMH; it's cheap motoring.

I have had my share of big bikes - I just don't enjoy them in the same way.
I live in Ashbourne Viper so everywhere I go is hilly

You make a good point Tom. For me living in the Peak District of the UK the hills are a killer for a 125cc engine (150cc is rare here). Its difficult to maintain 50mph quite often and you can end up with a queue of traffic right up behind your rear end

I holiday in Greece each year. On the island of Skiathos it is all Sym that is ridden by locals and in the hire depots. On the island of Zakynthos it is all Kymco. The market must be huge given the number you see

Here in Derbyshire we are expecting the same. This has been a very long winter with seemingly endless grey skies. Let's hope we see snow and that Spring and riding weather follow pretty quickly

I bet it is taxes that put them down,  1 vat ,.  2 property tax, 3  buying and selling tax ,  4  tax to breath air,. carbon tax,  and on and on,.
It's something of a mystery. When I had my Like and then my Downtown they were always helpful. They had a good group of dealers. I have three within a 20 mile radius of home.

I had to wait over 3 months for a Kymco decal after it got grazed. Held me up from selling it for that length of time. Really has put me off buying another Kymco which is a shame because they make great Scooters
