Kymco reviews

I actually went to the S200 having a Kymco 250cc scooter. The nimble handling more than makes up for the loss in cc's coming from a 250cc. I'm pretty happy with its performance considering it's a 163cc and it's 100+ lbs lighter than my 250 was. This scooter seems to be balanced very well, much to my liking. I have had it on a 150 mile ride with very good fuel economy. Even at 60 mph indicated at (70 mph on speedo), it doesn't seem to be overworking the engine. I have added a taller windscreen which really helps give a more stable ride while going highway speeds. The glovebox is a nice feature that my 250 did not have. Underseat storage isn't that roomy but you can add a topbox like I did. The downside is getting to the brakelight/turnsignal bulbs as well as the brake master cylider which will require the removal of body panels. All in all, I am happy with and would purchase another.

After having the Xciting 250 for 1 1/2 years now, I have put over 6,000 miles on it. My longest trip has been from Ft Lauderdale area to Cape Coral (FT Meyers on the Gulf Coast), appx 150 miles one way. I have figured out that the speedometer is fast about 5mph. My fuel consumption is 67 mpg. I can go all the way on one tank of fuel and then some. I have not had to take the bike to the shop for anything but regular maintenance. I finally found the top box (GIVI 47E), but cannot find the orange cover for it. Givi does not make it anymore. I have absolutly nothing negative to say about this scooter. Show less

This is my second Scooter after a disastrous 250cc Tank Sports. I have it for 5 months now and have 3700 miles on it. I use that for my commute to work and I love it. It looks good and is very reliable. So far no issues whatsoever. I specially like its generous siting space and under seat compartment. I also like and use quite often its parking break that first I thought I would never use that. Making the story short, there is nothing you can get better for money. don't think twice if you are shopping. Show less

I purchased this scooter on 8-6-09. I like this scooter. I upgraded from a 49cc Kymco and it's a big difference. The only thing I don't like are the mirrors. They are small round and not wide enough. I will purchase another set for my comfort. Show less

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. Show less

This is my 11th 2 wheeler in about 6 years. Went through flat-6, v-4, twin-2, and 2 150cc scooters. Well, this People 250 is the keeper. Has enough power to get around. Average 67MPG also very impressive. Still have 2 other bikes in the garage, but took the 250 most of the time. Thank you Kymco. Show less

No complaints, watch the throttle and get 45mpg in town. The back tire was gone at 4500 miles. Had a main fuse blow, changed it and doing fine. I would buy another one, but first I got to wear this one out. Good product. Great ride. Show less

Having bought my Kymco people S 250 2 and 1/2 months ago I've put over 1200 miles even with the bad scooter weather we have had. I plan to put many more miles on it this summer. I find it very easy to ride not having rode a scooter for many years. I found the 16 inch wheels much better handling then the 10 inch wheels I have had in the past. All in all I think this is a great scooter and I look forward to many year of riding. Show less

Ok, so I broke in the super 8, and so far absolutely NO problems. I took it my dealer for the first service inspection. WARNING: The warranty doesn't cover the first mandatory service inspection, they wanted $210 for it. So save up if you want that warranty. I let mine drop, but it's a good thing, because now I can install high performance parts!! I installed DR. Pulley 10g rollers in my scoot and now it really sounds and responds like a crotch rocket. 0-60 in 4.8 seconds, no joke, and the engine now revs like at 10,000 rpm. I can't wait to install the new Yoshimura pipe they now offer for it! Show less
