I test rode the P200 and S8.  The P200 felt like it had more power and had a much more comfortable seat than the S8.  It also handled like crap.  It did not like going around corners.  Not sure if it was just the one I rode or if they are all like that.  I picked up a new 2009 S8 today.  I didn't have time to ride it very much.  It seems to handle pretty good.  The brakes feel fine.  As for the power, I'll wait untill I get a few more miles on it  (at least untill after the first oil change) before seeing how fast it will go.  It's a 150 so I'm not expecting a powerhouse. 

I considered the Sym HD200.  The only dealer remotely close by was sold out.

Hey congrats!  Did you get the Yellow & Blue?  Seems to be the standard.

BTW you might be surprised when you first hit a stop light and your lights dim significantly.  It's not broken, it's designed to do that.   :)

Looking good brother!

Glad to have another s8 150 owner on a agility 50 heavy forum (Love to all my brothers and sisters!)

I'd rather had the black and red but got too good of a deal on the blue yellow '09 version.

WT is right about the lights dimming... mine does it.  No worries.

Great acceleration and speed.  Hitting 60mph (indicated) on the same hill my 50cc agility would struggle to maintain 30 on.

Enjoy... and take more pics for us!  (I know I owe "us" my own pics!)
Im usually on a bicycle, so for me, this thing is hauling ass!
