The Yager was FI and could do 200 miles + between fuel stops. Performed well. Traded mine for DT 300i which does everything the Yager did only easier. Obark, you find the one you want, GO GET IT! No whining about how far away or whatever. Just figger out how and go get it! Let us know what you decide. Your decision is final.

It's not the distance, it's the darn two or three scooter only available at the dealership. I got my eye on one and will be going 101 miles to pick-up soon (they seen to have loads of kymco's) 8)

Take a bus then ride the S200, 75 miles is no big deal for that scoot. The 200 does have a surprisingly small fuel tank though.

The People S200 does have a smaller tank (1.8 Gallons), but then again most Kymco's do. Hell my GT300i only has 2.4 gallons. I have no problem with that because I never take a trip longer then 70 miles (round trip) I think Kymco stop bringing in the People S200 about 5 years ago.

I want to say 2009 was the last year for the S200. It's funny, the GF and me will fill up at the same time, and we both have the same work commute, the Bet & Win will still be at Full when she is on Empty LOL. B&W almost 3 gallons!!!!

Bettin' I think you're correct (2009) I bought mine new in 2005 in Red. Had a nice Shad 33 liter case on the back & installation was a breeze. It's really too bad Kymco USA is going downhill as of late. I own a SYM HD200 that's only a couple of hundred dollars more & it does blow-away the S200. Dual disc brakes, Water Cooled & @ 15.3HP vs. the old 163cc Kymco @ 12HP. For the money I think the SYM EVO HD200 is the best mid-ranged scooter today for he coin.

I agree I owned a S200 and own a SYM RV200. The SYM 171 cc motor is a beast for its displacement.
That said SYM/Alliance has its fare share of issues also but the scooters are great.

I have my eye out for a sym hd200, they don't come up all that often used for sale here. I want to try one out and see wassup. Lots of good press on them. I had one eyeballed but some yahoo jumped on it before yours truly. It was an 09 with 4500 on the clock, $1400 was it's price. Thing was pristine. Same guy has an 08 for $1000 w/14000 on the clock. It's been modified a lot, that's not my cup of tea. I like stock all the way and too many miles for my taste. With that many miles I can see tires, all fluids, water pump, belt, hoses all needing to be changed. Plus when I see/hear the word mod I think abuse off the bat.

He's high on the HD with 14k on the odo and I also don't care for modded scoots.

Resale is low on the SYMs, BUT most bought them at low OTD prices. I can buy a leftover HD200 for 3000.00 OTD on most days. After my S200 I decided I preferred smaller wheel scoots so I bought the RV200.

If you like the S200 you'll love the HD200.
