I feel I made the right choice .Runs super .Y.D

...i knew absolutely NOTHING about scooters...when i found myself all of a sudden needing one...

..was at th mall with my girls, and spotted a flier for scooter vita, in a city near me...offering NO DOWN PAYMENT! on a new scooter...

..well that offer was for the Marshin...and i just couldn't keep my eyes off the KYMCOs they had there....there is no comparison in the builds of the two brands of scoots..the marshin looked like a kids toy when standing next to the kymcos...

..so i talked them into a $500 down deal...

..two and a half years and 51,000 kilometers later...wow...

..i love my kymco..damn the SOBs...

[wordslinger]

Not exactly, because you were hit by the Coke can, not the vehicle.
It does not take anything away from your experience though...

Hmmm....

OK, who did Physics at school?... come on, own up....... anyone?
I'm a lil' confused....

If you were to throw, lets say a tennis ball at a street sign as you were approaching it at 60 km/hr...... would the tennis ball be doing the same speed as the vehicle it came out of?

And if the "sign" was moving towards the car at 60km/hr and made contact with the tennis ball as it left the vehicle, would the combined speeds be the same (120km/hr) as throwing a tennis ball (out of a vehicle) at a (stationary) brick wall while the vehicle is doing 120 km/hr?

I'm pretty sure it would.

Any ideas.... anyone?

what up jb..... thats a pretty cool scoot right there....i like that, no absolutely nothing on a 4t tho....lmao...    i have a 04 zx50.... THANKS TO WORD, i FINALLY have a pic of it in my thread(tech)...

Cheers Bro.
I guess I was kinda lucky in that I'd only been to one other (Hyosung) dealer before the Kymco shop, I knew absolutely nothing about Kymco (never heard of them before, or their manufacturing and quality control history!), but it just so happened that the salesman/manager seemed like a pretty decent guy, he laid out all the 50cc options for me (Vibe, Sento, Like, Agility, 2T/4T Colours etc) but in the end the Like 50 4T seemed the best value for money and would be the most practical (for me).
In hindsight, the Agility RS 50 4T has really grown on me.... more "sporty" than the combined semi-retro/commuter/cruiser styling of the Like, but that FREE top box is something that I could never do without on a scoot as I often carry Laptops and other IT components to sites. - the Agility looks weird WITH a top box, and the Like looks a bit droopy WITHOUT one!

BTW, I've replaced my Chrome "Stalk" mirrors with a nice Matt Black  set of "Bar-End" mirrors (Cafe' Racer style) I think it really suits the Like, and makes it look much lower in profile, but I'll post some photos when I get a chance and I'm sure someone will tell me if they don;t suit....

By the sounds of things, that ZX of yours hauls ass! I got just over 90 km/hr out of my Like on a slight downhill last night.
Still the stock Carb & Exhaust....., just a DE-Restricted Variator Bush!

WTF?

[jbcinzio]

2010 Like 50 4T

..i LIKE your LIKE jb...

 

..when i first saw those, i didn't like the styling so much...

..the black makes a huge difference in how it looks..

..th' one i saw was tan...beige, whatever...


peace

Yeah 'Sling, The Tan/Beige one was pretty cruddy.... I only like the black!

..same engine and tranny as the a50...

So would the exhaust mounting points be the same between the two?

Like, can I bolt an a50 exhaust on my Like50?

I got my sexy new Leo Vince Scoot SP3 Exhaust in yesterday...... I ended up buying one direct from Italy to fit a Suzuki AP50 Address, as it looked like the closest fit to mine.
Within a matter of minutes of the courier delivering my box of goodies, I was under the scoot doing a trial-fit.
The mounts should be ok, but the Flange that butts up to the head needs to have the weld ground off, the flange rotated about 140 degrees, and re-welded to the bolts will line up 
I was so hoping it would be a bolt-on.
Oh well... I have to attack the restrictive cone on the inside of the inlet with a Dremel anyway.... There's no way in hell that's staying there!

                     that means YOU should be way faster than me.

Note in bright sunlight, it's actually a deep blue metal-flake finish though, right?  At least the "black" Like 200i our shop just got recently is this deep, metallic blue, I should say. Maybe it's different in other markets.
