Seems all the manufactures, with the exception of Vespa/Piaggio, are not supporting the USA scooter market.  Glad my Downtown 300i is not needing replaced.

If my LIKE200i ever dies - I'll be hoping for a left-over one, somewhere.
No interest in the 150i's.

They are going up in value, here anyway.  https://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/mcy/d/everett-2020-kymco-like-200-with-helmets/7597439130.html

That would be close to an OTD price at a dealer for a new one - after all the fees.
It is @  $120 less than what I paid 10 yrs ago for mine.
Maybe he'll get it - but I've seen new for $2500, before the fees.
Interestingly, Kymco originally MSRP'd the LIKE200i for @$3500....then suddenly reduced that some $800!

Out of curiosity I googled and found this:  https://www.autotrader.co.uk/bike-details/202210110626955?advertising-location=at_bikes

At today's rate of exchange, that's $2,460...

If you really want to see stupid......
I guess if you take the plastic off the seat you can get $1600 more for the same scooter!
nice try.....


You can get a new HONDA PCX for $100 less!

Sure would be nice to see a few of these models make it to the USA.

Don't understand the off-road tires on a big scooter.....and certainly would regret them in my first wet corner at speed on a 400lb maxi.
Semi-knobs does not make a street vehicle suitable for off-road.

I don't ride in the rain unless the rain catches me on a ride.  Here looks like a good choice for those that do ride frequently on wet roads. https://www.michelinman.com/motorcycle/tires/michelin-city-extra

Interesting.
That's a new Michelin to me.
Kind of fond of Michelin tires, tor decades.
One scooter and two cars are riding on them.....though doubt any of the are made in France🙃

some good looking new Kymcos! It seems they are fuel injecting everything 125cc and up and the 150 and 175cc motors are liquid cooled, too. Too bad we don't see most of these scoots in the US.

Actually those CST’s on the  DTX360 grip surprisingly well in the wet Stig. Still unavailable in the UK though so when they wear out, likely back to CG2’s.
