I never sat on a Agility and never rode it, but I can say a few words about the Like.
In general I would like to agree on what Stig already wrote here about the Like. But I also think that the Taiwan made scooters (Sym etc.) are indeed a bit better in quality- generally.
But on the other hand I would say that the chinese made Like is way good enough for our purposes.
Here are my thoughts and experiences and my issues with the Like (2013 model with 2014 registration, now 10.600km):
- Clock/Date display went bad in the first 6 month - was replaced under warranty. Clock since then works, date still weird and wrong sometimes. I don´t care anymore.
- One bolt to the engine of the rear fork broke within the first months of ownership. Was bored out and replaced under warranty. But because I didn´t trust these 6mm bolts there I just bored the threads out once more with a 8mm drill and put 2 new halfway threaded 8mm bolts through and torqued them with washers and locknuts on the backside. So these 2 bolts will never ever break or come loose again. Guaranteed.
- The bolt of the starter motors green ground cable came loose and got lost one day after the first few month. Was replaced under warranty and loctiteed in. Never came loose again since. I would recommend this as a precaution to every owner.
- Didn´t trust the reliability of the chinese oem battery and therefore put in a Shido LiFePo. Lightweight, strong, maintanancefree and reliable battery. Maybe not perfectly ideal for heavy duty winterriders though. But I am not.
- Kenda tires are of questionable quality (out of round...wetgrip...but at least long lasting with good milage) and are not balanced by factory. I would recommed to change these soon or at least get them balanced and centered under warranty by the dealer.
- Pretty hard and tough sporty suspension. Front and back. Might get a bit better with different/new tires also.
- Seat is really of poor quality. Too soft and too weak. Not really comfortable especially for longer rides. Upholstering could be a good thing and helpful improvement.
- Selfglaring effect of the headlight during nightrides. Can be solved with a tape attached on the upper part of the headlight.
- 12V outlet is fused with 0.8 Amps only. What a joke nowadays! To replace with a stronger fuse, you have to dismantle half of the scooter...
- Brake fluid reservoir is underneath the handlebar cover. Maybe good against manipulation, but bad for easy maintanance.
Apart from that, good and reliable scooter. Low empty weight, low fuel consumption. Easy, cheap general maintanance, nice design.
One more great advantage of this scooter are the strong disc brakes front and rear. I love them. Wouldn´t want to buy a scooter with rear drumb brakes. Therefore I like my Like pretty much so far, but I probably wouldn´t by it again new. I´d rather wait and buy the new Like model coming for 2017/2018.
Kymco gave the new Like some very interesting and useful improvements as well as new features.
So as Stig wrote, if you can get a discounted leftover or lightly used one for relatively little money, I would consider it as a pretty good deal.
And if you have the possibility, do a few testrides with different scooters. So you will see and feel what fits best for your needs.
