Title: Newbie Grand Dink 125 cc Driver
Post by: Takamatsu on July 17, 2008, 04:31:21 PM: Hi all ,

Was just surfing around and found this Forum .

I'm a 31 year old Belgian ( you know that tiny country next to france and stuff) and im the owner of a Grand Dink 125 cc .
This since about 1 month with 1400 km on the counter .

The scooter itself is nice , a good sound , with a fairly good accelaration , even though with 2 on the seat . when going on to 100 km/h it gets kinda slow.

Anyway's , i hope to get to know more about the other Kymco's in the USA .

grtz From Belgium :-)

The S200 is a nice piece of work :-) . Is that the 125 cc ? or 50 cc . don't know it s the same in the states then with us here .

I am glad that I bought mine when I did because the dealer that I got it from now cannot keep them in stock at all. The truck comes in and they assemble the motorcycles and people are there to pick them up that very day :o

Here in the US we only get the 250cc model It's renamed the Grand Vista and has a digital dash. We only get it in blue, white and, just recently they've added my favorite, red.

The Kymco USA site for the Grand Vista (Dink) can be viewed here:
