It's been one year and three weeks since I brought my LIKE home from the dealer. In that time, I have ridden it through various speeds and conditions. Living in Southern California, it has seen extreme temperatures between 55 - 90 degrees. (Mind boggling, I know). Most of the rides, after break in, have been in the 45-55 mph range. Some roads had 60 mph speed limits, so I was pushing it.
My opinion of this little Chinese bike has not changed. It is everything I expected it to be. As a midrange scooter under $3000.00, it has handled what I have thrown at it. It is not of the Vespa or Honda quality. It is a great entry/midlevel scooter. I will move up to a bigger scooter, as my desires have changed. This scooter still puts a smile on my face even when my backside has surrendered.
The only issues I have experienced is a bad spark plug and the rear fender bracket cracked and broke. I used a torch and a hanger for a good gas weld on the bracket. Good as new. It is about time to open it up and check/replace the belt and rollers. Maintenance items are more frequent on these little bikes .
It was a good choice for my first scooter. This is my first year review.
