My Grand Vista is a great little machine. No mechanical problems to speak of. I commute 21 miles on hilly 2-lane highway and it does great. Will cruise 60MPH all day. It can haul my fat butt up the hills no problem and get great gas mileage doing it. So far the only thing I wish it had was a...

My Grand Vista is a great little machine. No mechanical problems to speak of. I commute 21 miles on hilly 2-lane highway and it does great. Will cruise 60MPH all day. It can haul my fat butt up the hills no problem and get great gas mileage doing it. So far the only thing I wish it had was a little bigger gas tank. I recommend the Grand Vista.

It has plenty of torque and it's fast and smooth except for at idle. It being a single cylinder, there is a slight vibration. Extremely stylish; I get many comments on how great it looks. The digital readout is a dream. Filling up the tank is easy. Fill up opens with ignition key and so does the...

It has plenty of torque and it's fast and smooth except for at idle. It being a single cylinder, there is a slight vibration. Extremely stylish; I get many comments on how great it looks. The digital readout is a dream. Filling up the tank is easy. Fill up opens with ignition key and so does the seat. Under the seat is great storage area, enough for a helmet and gloves. The mirrors electronically fold up, a very nice feature. The mirrors are a bit low; you need to look down to see them. However they are very clear and easy to use. It handles well; two disc brakes makes stopping quickly and easy task. Kymco does not push the extended warranty because they say you just don't need it. It is a light bike; quick handling like a scooter should be but feels very stable at higher speeds. The wind shield is the right height for me. Starting is quick even on the cold mornings. It is a 250cc where you can feel comfortable on any road, plus it gets 70 mpg. I have owned 900cc, 750cc, 650, 80cc bikes and I find this bike wonderful.

I've owned my Vista for about 6 months now and couldn't be happier. Soaring gas prices prompted me to purchase a scooter. Kymco's price was the deciding factor on their brand plus the 2-year warranty. My girlfriend and I tour all over Florida on the Grandvista. It has plenty of power for riding...

I've owned my Vista for about 6 months now and couldn't be happier. Soaring gas prices prompted me to purchase a scooter. Kymco's price was the deciding factor on their brand plus the 2-year warranty. My girlfriend and I tour all over Florida on the Grandvista. It has plenty of power for riding duo. I consistently get 70 miles/gal. and 78 miles/hour solo & 73 miles/hour duo. Follow the preventative maintenance schedule (oil & lube, etc.) and you should get many years of enjoyable riding pleasure.

I got it for a great price with a 2-year warranty. I could stop with there but it wouldn't tell the tail. The specs are in black and white and 2-dimensional, but the ride is in vivid color and of course, 3-D. With the exception of leg space issues, this bike would be #1. However, I do believe...

I got it for a great price with a 2-year warranty. I could stop with there but it wouldn't tell the tail. The specs are in black and white and 2-dimensional, but the ride is in vivid color and of course, 3-D. With the exception of leg space issues, this bike would be #1. However, I do believe given time to understand the American market, a model with more legroom will evolve. Little know fact that this company used to make parts for Honda. We all know how well built a Honda is and did I mention a 2 year warranty.

This is a great scooter with lots of power. I've actually been at 89 mph! Even at that speed the bike was steady & didn't hesitate. The only problem I have is the legroom for the driver. I can't stretch my legs out in front so it is a little cramped. Other than that, I love this scooter. I've...

This is a great scooter with lots of power. I've actually been at 89 mph! Even at that speed the bike was steady & didn't hesitate. The only problem I have is the legroom for the driver. I can't stretch my legs out in front so it is a little cramped. Other than that, I love this scooter. I've owned this bike for 2 1/2 weeks & I don't drive my cars anymore. Great gas mileage, at $2.29/gallon I can fill up for $4.50 and ride 112 miles on one tank. Can't beat that!
