Please compare the Like to my old People 150
« on: February 15, 2015, 07:26:22 PM »
Been a while since I've been on here!  I used to own a People 150 but traded it in on a new Bonniville about a year and a half ago.  Big mistake.  Not that I don't love my Bonnie because I do, but I miss my scooter! I should have traded in my KLR instead.  Well, live and learn I suppose.  I have decided this year it's time for a new scoot.  I looked at the Vespa Sprint, which is nice, but at twice the price of a Like (or more!) with less storage room, etc. it just doesn't seem worth it to me.

That said, besides the obvious wheel size, how does the Like compare to my old People 150?  Is it as dependable and easy to work on?  More foot room I hope?  Power wise?  I love the looks of the scoot and the apparant storage room, so sell me...

The like is a great scoot, not quite the build quality of your people though. The like is made on main land China. Cheaper plastic, but the dependability should equal the people. About the same power, maybe slightly more because it's efi. Not as comfortable as the people 150, for me. I would buy a second hand people before I bought a like. The only thing a new one has over the used its warranty, and there's a chance you might find an old dealer stock people 150 somewhere.
