1. You probably do not use throttle much. My ZR-7S hovered around 6.5 l/100 km under normal conditions, and well above 11 l/100 km at top speed on the highway.
4.5 l is feasible on 600 cc if you drive around in top gear at low revs.
ZR7 is a very different beast, heavier, more ccs, and most importantly, it's carbed, and you re-jetted it!
The ER6 has fuel injection, and it's a twin.. more torque down low so..
Feasible? Averaging 100-110km/h on open roads (usually do 80-90 where the sign says 70) from Osijek to Pozega, and
even with some fun over the twisty bits on Krndija, I usually hit exactly 4,0L when I get there. 100km on the dot, and
I'm still the one overtaking everyone, and never get overtaken myself. That's what 6th gear roll-on torque will do.
'Kralj' averages 6,5l on his ZX6R on the same ride with me.
Personally I do not like to think about consumption otherwise I would not buy a vehicle (car, bike, quad). I would rather ride on a bus than think about money all the time, especially when cars/bikes are in question and I like driving *a lot*.
Most 200-250 cc scooters do 4.3-4,5l/100 km under normal conditions. I think it is impossible to go under 4 on 200+ cc 4 stroke, maybe if you are <165 cm and <55 kg and extremely careful with the throttle.
Running around on the Agility is gonna be cheaper then riding a bus for sure, and I need it for work so.. it's gonna be fun too.
As for the fuel consumption again.. yeah, that's what averages are, the People 200 is probably under 4L though, but it's not
even full 200ccs.
I've had Peugeot Geopolis 400 and Satelis 500 in for reviews while I worked at the newspaper I mentioned and got 4,5L out of
the 400 (it's a 200kg scooter) riding around town like a maniac (bare in mind Osijek is FLAT) and some of it 2up with a 100kg
friend. I did around 300km and calculated the consumption 3 times.
I took the Satelis on the same Osijek - Pozega - Osijek route, rolling on the throttle to the stops out of every corner, most
accelerations were flat-out when overtaking, but I (again) didn't do over 110km/h for long periods, maybe just a few times
to see how fast the thing will go (I got around 165 on the dash). So, rather agressive open road riding, but solo this time,
and this thing weighs around 230kg.. - exactly 4L/100km. I guess it's all about being smooth.
Both of those use Piaggio m.a.s.t.e.r engines (the 500 was 49x cc, not the older 460cc).

When you sum it all up, you might as well have purchased 150 cc in the first place and it would be much more reliable than aftermarket kit about which you know close to nothing in terms of quality control and assurance.
My mechanic uses a small file in order to remove/cut the metal debris that was not adequately processed in the kit factory...
Also, when you install "a kit" the first thing that goes down the drain is stock crankshaft.
It happened to me when I had 2 stroke NRG 72 cc kit. It was going like hell until one day stock crankshaft broke.
It is not made to support 50 % more hp (or 100 % in my case).
I was talking about the original kymco parts that make the 150cc engine..
If the crankshaft is the same (and it could be, since it's only ~1ks more powerfull), it might last just as long,
OR I missed Agility 150 reviews somewhere that say it's not as reliable as the 125.
Anyways, not that important really, I'd never do it, I'd rather get the People 200.
