1. Why one disc in the front? It was the selling point before that P250S had two front discs.
2. Narrow and slanted seat is a big no no. They should investigate a bit more what does proper seat look like (Scarabeo or Beverly)
3. Too small, almost non existing windshield. P250S had just about OK mid sized windshield.
4. 300i cc engine, but with 200-250 cc power. Why? Why not the same engine as in Downtown 300i?
5. I am under impression that under seat storage is even smaller than on 250i.

Noticed that the Kymco USA website now list the People GT300i. This model really interests me, and seems to have comparable specs to the Honda SH300i that is so popular in Europe.

Basically an updated p250s. Updated power-plant and re-worked plastics is nice but otherwise your loosing the dual-disc front brakes and less windshield. Don't know if any storage loss! 
Hard for me to justify one since I already own a p250s.
Maybe a Downtown 300i or Xciting 500 will be my next upgrade someday.
Until then I'm still having a blast on my p250s!  :)

I've already decided my next scooter will not be a Kymco.

On July 11, I will explain why.

I'll be interested to hear why, other than your bad fortune with your P250.

hmmm.  ok.  Ordinarily I would ask why the suspense, just tell us now.  But I assume you have your reasons.  Best.   I am still in the air between the People 300 GTIi and a Suzuki Burgman 400.   There are clear tradeoffs here.  If SYM was still viable, I like the Citycom too.  But given their history and limited dealer network, I don't think I care to chance it.

Right you are!

My next scooter will likely be a Genuine, for the sole reason that they are the only importer with whom I have first-hand experience that does not treat its dealers like sh!t, and seems to actually care about the customers' experience with the brand, rather than saddling the dealer with the total management of the customer experience, post-sale.

More to come.

inquiring minds want to know!
