Just picked up my brand new Like 150i today and noticed that it is not included.

I don't know why it doesn't have it's own section when it probably Kymco's best selling scooter today.  The best place to find information on the 150i is probably here: https://advrider.com/f/threads/kymco-like-150i.1291028/

The Owner's Manual is barely worth the paper it's printed on.  English is not the writers first (or or probably third) language.  Even worse, I can find very little technical or mechanical information on the internet.

Welcome to the forum.
Post under the LIKE200i header - riders will read it.
How do you like your new Kymco?

Congrats. I noticed that bike was missing too.  This is Stig's site, isn't it? I gave up some HP to get a top box, some stripes and a lower price.  Besides, the 150 I looked at locally had a defect in the seat. It was only cosmetic and I knew Kymco was a good brand, so I bought one from out of state. How you liking it?

So, you bought the LIKE200I?
BTW, I'm only a moderator, skadamo is the administrator (since 2007). All I  can do is submit your requests.
If I may - what does a 200i go out the door for, these days. I paid $3200 7yrs ago.

PS, if you went 200i instead of 150i - you also gave up 2 wheel ABS (arguably the scoot's most important feature )

I didn't know I gave up abs. I paid 1999 plus money to have it shipped 500 miles. All in, it was 2500..no tax.  For such a fun & nice looking bike, I thought it was a nice price. The guy that delivered it disclosed the wholesale prices of the 200i, as I mentioned in another post. I took that info down as I don't want to drive down our values. 😊
Frankly I don't care much for abs on cars. I'm 60. I can brake just fine on my own.
I should add, it's a 2018. Still new.. but I don't think they even had a 2019.

Stig,
In response to your above question, I really like the Like150i.
I can take it anywhere (except the Interstate) that I took my KLR-650.
Just slower and a little bumpy on dirt and gravel.
