Title: Checked in with my Kymco dealer today July 24,2018
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on July 24, 2018, 11:52:28 PM

My dealer still hasn't "ordered any Kymcos" this year.
So, no dice on seeing the 2nd gen. LIKE150i. They had a flat black 200i, and a red 50.

So I wandered over to look at Honda motorcycles MSRP'd lower than their Yamaha, Honda and Suzuki scoots.
Salesman asked what I was interested in.
I replied, "Well, whatever it is - it has to be Honda Red!"

I could have a grey 150 Yamaha scooter - or one of their nice left-over Ferrari Red CB300F for nearly the same price.

I could have got a brand new CB300F for $700 AUD cheaper than for the price I paid for my Piaggio Medley.  They are a good and reliable bike and are going cheap as the new model is here.  The only thing that stop me from getting one is that I really wanted the massive under seat storage on the Medley.

Wow, that's a good price.
I have a bunch of stuff under my scooter seats....but never use much more that the little flash light (fueling). My helmets have always been too big to fit under any seat, mainly because my head never seems to change sizes!
A little pack on the back of any motorcycle would meet my needs.
