I am happy to be back after a long absence. Took a long "test ride" on a nice People S250 that lasted over a year. Great bike, but things changed and it was sold a few months ago. Suffering from MBD (multiple bike disorder) the urge to find something new and different came back. A serious flirtation with a nicely tricked out S9 ac was going on but the owner had second thoughts and decided to keep it.
And then...a rare, hard to find Movie 150 popped up in the area for a price that was hard to turn down.
After going a few rounds with DMV, the paperwork got squared away and now it's mine!
What a neat scoot!
It delivers a level of handling and performance that exceeds my previous expectations.
A long day on the Movie riding the Blue Ridge Parkway and surrounding area convinced me I had not made a mistake bringing this "orphan" home. 8)
Kymco got it right with this scooter. Unfortunately, the general market was not right for the price point the bike was set at.
Poor sales and they go away. :P
Stay tuned for pics and more reflections on the Movie 150.
Cheers!
