Pretty positive. But Kymco was turned loose in 68 to do their own thing. They started in 63 making engine/transmission units for Honda. Hey, I read their bio!

That 300 looks like a winner to me!
Good quality + great price. About $1600 less than a Forza.

What's the service interval like.  If I remember it is still very short.  People who don't service them themselves and need to take them into a dealer usually want longer service periods.  Don't know why Kymco do this, even the new 150i has short service intervals for a new hi-tech engine.

Remember how few miles most American scooter owners actually ride.
 Wouldn't even come to mind for most owners, likely.
Maybe a yearly oil change, if that.
Owner's manual is somewhere in the sock drawer.

I mean I did buy a new Like 150i for this “new” engine, but isn’t it just the same one they’ve used before in the movie 150?  Hp and torque are the same, maybe they did some revisions?
