Kymco owners seem to have at least one thing in common; We research scoot's from different countries and learn from other people that a scooter made in Taiwan could be a good one. Then, we have the courage to buy one for ourselves and find that having an open mind is a good thing.
How did I end up here?
In 02 I wanted a scooter that would keep up with Atlanta surface streets. Already had an Aprilia Scarabeo 50 (70 after kit) but could not go 2 up and hit 50.
Looked into getting a Vespa rebuilt or direct from Europe and started doing a little research. Found Bajaj (T4) and the Stella (T2).
Went for the Bajaj that I put 20,000+ miles on in Atlanta, OKC, and San Antonio TX.
Last year I moved to Florida and for the first time the 55mph Bajaj just wasn't up to my commute.
Knowing that I needed to do 70 to 75 each morning and evening and remembering the ride of the Aprilia with the 16 in. Wheels pointed me toward the People 300 and the BV350. Everyone used to rave about the Veaps/Paggio quality.... until mfg shifted to asia. I went with a used 300i and after ditching the OEM front tire (cupped POC) for a Metzler I am happy.
After all Kymco made all of those DEVO Hondas in the 80s and 90s , and had built a reputation as durable.
So it isn't like they were a new scooter company.
Have fun
