How new was your LIKE when purchased ??
« on: August 17, 2013, 04:26:42 PM »
My other post shows the silvered tag that lists the birth date of my Kymco LIKE.
The scooter was about 11 mos old when I bought it.
How old was yours when you bought it?
(on your back, look above the muffler into the body area with a flashlight)

For you folks who are about to buy a LIKE, take a flashlight to the dealers, find the production date of the LIKE you're interested in ....and maybe you'll have some info to help in bargaining over the price!

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

Stamped July 2011.  I ordered it late July 2011 and didn't get it until Sept 1st 2011.  The time it took to travel by boat.  Hope you have been well Stig.  Scoot's lookin good!

New. This pic taken when I changed from my one week old moped-version.

Oskuk, You have a LIKE 50cc and a LIKE 200i?
Also, is that your pretty white T-2 VW Kombi?
You do not know this but for 45 years my passion was VW Transporters!
(do you know the Bulli Kartei vintage bus club in Frankfurt, and Bad Camberg VW fairs?)
Recently I sold my '91 T-3 GL.....to also make room for my Kymco.
I had that VW Vanagon from new for 160,000 miles, for 21 years. The design was the best of any car I've ever owned - but the engine was sadly born with that wrongly engineered head-gasket cancer just waiting it's time to kill the vehicle.
You like white? And what country again?

No, I had a nice pale-blue Like 50 for a week, but got tired to drive on a side of the street away from passing cars. It was a stress.
So I changed it to this white 200i.

Also, is that your pretty white T-2 VW Kombi?

Yes, got it on early 90:s (-76 model) for a windsurf-wan. Back then it was only a old junk. Now it's antique what I've heard. Everybody is staring my old junk when I pass leaving nice oil-stream behind...

I have broken 4 different 1600 cc engines, and as poor boy, always bought a new old junk in place. This recent one is    
twitching badly after 20min drive, as getting warm.

This wan was orange, as half of the vw:s was back then, but the seller he put his pupils paint it white. He was a teacher on car mechanic vocational school if that's the right term. I'd prefer original orange, but damage was done.
