People S 200 vs. S 250

[lrich524]

I am looking for my first scooter. I just passed my MSF course last weeknd. Yesterday I saw a Kymco People S 200 and liked what I saw. I did not get a chance to ride it because they had already taken the battery out for winter storage. I'm 5'8" and 190 lbs. I'll be using the scoot for commuting back and forth to work and for weekend fun. No highway riding, just country roads max speed 60 mph. I'd like to know if anyone has tried the S 200 or S 250 and what their experiences are with either one. Is the S250 worth the extra $1200? Are there differences in the body size/ shape? Any info would be great. I live in Maine so scooter season is almost over. I'll probably wait until spring to purchase unless I find a great deal. I now have 2 local Kymco dealers to choose from so I can see what each one will offer.

Welcome new to be Kymco scooter rider. I have a People "S" 250-it is great. I use it to-from work mostly a  25 mile round trip. About 2-3 times a month I go approx 50 miles away to a larger city.I run 55-70 mph most of the time. It has good power, storage and ammenities. I can't speak for the P-200, but I am glad I have my 250-no regrets, and great fuel milage-about 70 mpg @ 55mpg. Also the maintenance is simple. And you can down load a maintenance, repair, and parts manual elsewhere on this site. Have fun!
