Hello everyone, Just plunked down a check for a brand new Kymco like200i 2020 model today. really looking forward to this forum and the Kymco interest. Sold my 2103 Honda Pcx150 this summer and like the step through scooter better.  I think watching Stig's posts and the good luck he's had was a deciding factor. I previously had a Kymco Grand Vista 250 and it was very reliable so I'm back! Glad to be part of this Forum

Welcome scooter freak!
I think 2020 might be the last yr the LIKE200i is listed in the USA....so you've scored a winner.
What color?
I believe these have been around since 2010.
The review by www.justgottascoot.com  influenced my purchase yrs ago.
Where do you live? ....as this scooter seems to really benefit from regular use if weather permits in your area.
I'm  a bit over 6'3"  and had some top edge of headlight glare, and issues with mid-seat ridge...
The brakes are amazingly powerful.
Looking forward to your impressions and a photo if possible.
Again welcome.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

thank you to everyone. pictures and follow up will be soon. it won't be here for about a week. it's white in color and I do believe they said 2020 is the last year. I live in upstate NY around Albany so getting out will be limited, although I do ride when it's cold
