One Reason Purchased a DT 300i

I disagree completely, but am willing to drop the subject, it is not that interesting to me.
Most 2-wheel vehicle manufacturers declare correct (or slightly rounded) values.

For some reason, Kymco, SYM and some other like to present their 150 cc scoots as 200 and have been doing so for a long time.

Until 2-3 years ago, Italians DID NOT declare those models wrongly but instead, they were declared as 125, 150, 180, 200 cc. This is something Kymco never did. Hondas had 100 declared 100 cc models, so did Peugeot etc.

Obviously, in order to prevent Kymco selling more of its 150 units as 200 (Italian 200s - Beverly, Aprilia - are REAL 200!) due to fraudulent declaration, they started lying too. That`s the nature of the game.

Try to find ANY wrong declaration of displacement on Italian scoots prior to 2007-8 (other than rounding - 193 being rounded as 200; 493 being rounded as 500 etc.) You will not find any.

Kymco.it or kymcousa.com or kymco.tw or ... : "150" (>=150cc allowed for Italian autostrada etc.) have bore/stroke 57.4/57.8 mm.
Perhaps the labelling (=advertisement, but label <> oath) is done by the local importer too and not always by Kymco itself!?  

BTW: the former Piaggio Master 500 had 460cc, only the new one has 493cc.

I think that People 200, for example, is People 200 all over the world.
I have never heard of Kymco model <X> being advertised ad 150 in one place and 200 in another.

I do not care much about this topic because, just as you would do, I check specs of the thing I am about to buy, so I do not care if they call 50 cc scooter HyperJet 500.

I am afraid this "cc lie" isn't widespread. Italian makers don't lie two hundred is extremely near two hundred, 250 is extremely near 250, three hundred etc.

I'd like to get some little numbers and change the 200 on my yager to 175!
