Mike, I own a People 150 and have not had a great experience with Kymco to this point. The scooter went  back to the dealer again yesterday (manufacturing defect in the 150 listings). It sounds like it did when I first bought it. While at the dealer,I looked at a Sym HD 200. Seems very nice. Its front leg shield is wider than my scooter, water cooled, and it has a bit more get up and go than my P150. My 150 is just quick enough on hwys but a bit more power would be nice. I haven't seen a Kymco People 200S but it may be nice too. With the problems I've had with my scooter and Kymco in general I would think hard before buying one.

upon relooking at these scooters on the company web site , i am thinking that the one my local dealer would like to sell me is the super 8 150, with a top trunk on it already which is what i am wanting , but not sure, what is the difference between the super 8, people 150, and the bet  and  win150 if still made, other then looks.
living in IL. all my life and getting a class L lic. way back in 81? (and not buying anything till now)this  only allows me to go up to a 150cc to start with, and not wanting to spend any money to up this to a class M lic. which will let me get whatever is on the market.
thanks for the help in advance.

I have 3 Kymco scooters, and I love them!  If I could own any 150 by Kymco, it would have to be the Super 8.  The looks are aggressive and sporty, and it's a solid performer from what I hear.  I saw them unveiled at the Kymco dealer show, but I wasn't able to ride it.  The Agility 125 really does nice, so the Super 8 150 is surely going to do a little better, even if it's a heavier bike. 

Keep us posted!
