My Sento 50 said "Kymco Taiwan" on a decal up front. but is was actually an "LC" with a totally-Chinese GY6 engine.  OTOH, my very similar Sento 100, with the 99cc Kawasaki KFX 90 motor is 100% Taiwan.  This Taiwan motor doesn't appear in any other Kymco model (but it does appear in Kawasaki ATVs).

Interesting - a Sento with a Chinese VIN, and another with a Taiwanese VIN?

Over the years - I noticed my dealer had removed the peel-off Made in China sticker form his LIKE200i's. Or maybe it was removed  elsewhere.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

"RF" on my DT300i.

I have a 2007 Agility 125 with a RF vin which indicates Taiwan

LOL! I asked my local dealer if the Sento 50s were made in China (yes they are), but he didn't want to talk about it.  The sticker on the front said "Kymco Taiwan", but the SD10 engine is Chinese! The Sento 100 has a Taiwan engine.
