On my LIKE200i the headlight comes on when I turn the key ON - then goes off while starting - then comes back on.
When I turn the key on, my Piaggio Liberty150i keeps the headlight off until the scooter starts. Remainder of the lights are on....as seen here.
The LIKE has a 35/35W headlight - the Liberty has a 55/60W headlight.
Either way - electrical demand is reduced while starting.

*the 3V Liberty also vents some compression during starts - I think this is to lessen the work for the starter.. and the battery (6Ah~!)

All the bikes/scooters I've had with incandescent headlights would turn the headlights on when the key was turned, then they would turn off while starting and then turn back on when the engine was running.
My CTX1300 with factory LED headlights would turn on when the bike was turned on regardless if the engine was running or not.
My AK 550 with factory LED headlights would stay off until the engine started.
All other lights would turn on when the bike/scooter was turned on.
