Title: Bye Bye Yager
Post by: Poots on August 02, 2012, 08:58:36 PM: The Kymco Website now lists it as a 'Non-Current' model.

I guess I missed my chance.

Sigh... :(

I saw that last night on KymcoUSA.
Actually, it's surprising because I believe that there is a Yager 2012.
Pretty sure you can still find some 2010 or 2012 brand new. I just bought mine; it's a 2010 model and got it for much cheaper than MSRP.

Try CycleTrader.com or sites like that.

not too suprising it's "non-current". kymco is constantly tinkering with the lineup - dropping some, renaming others (i suspect some US-based focus group convinced them to rename the Dink).

Post by: Poots on August 29, 2012, 10:22:21 PM: I am really sorry that finances didnâ€™t allow me to get my Yager this year and that Kymcoâ€™s new management has dropped it from their US line-up.

Since I donâ€™t really feel like forking out an additional $1,400 bucks to buy their People GT200i I guess I will just go and get the new Honda PCX 150 water cooled scooter.

Itâ€™s a few ccâ€™s smaller than the Yager (153cc versus 174.5cc) and you donâ€™t get that cavernous Yager gas tank, but itâ€™s a Honda and their level of craftsmanship and quality control is a whole nother step above Kymcoâ€™s.

You can never go wrong with a Hondaâ€¦

Bye Bye Yagerâ€¦

Bye Bye Kymcoâ€¦

Hello Hondaâ€¦

Hello PCX150â€¦

I think you will like the PCX150. Pretty much lovin' the 125.

The PCX150 is a great choice .... especially compared to the SH150i price wise at least.
I am sure you will be happy with it.
When I sat on it at the dealer, it reminded me of the Honda Reflex Sport.
