Kymco Super8 150

Good scooter for first timers.
Excellent price for a big wheeled 150.
With kymco quality it can be recommended to non-wrenchers.
Oil and gear oil are simple.
Valve adjustments take 25 minutes, and after the second one, dont stray.
Underseat storage is moderate, front bag hook and flat floor very useful.
Top speed is around 57 (64 indicated)
Feels happy cruising at about 52 (58 indicated)
Seat is on the hard side but allows for such a wide range of seating positions that long rides are possible without discomfort or feeling awkward.
Garish decals easily removed.
Gas mileage in the high 60s at 50+ mph.

2 years and 5750 trouble free miles. then the cam chain broke and i sold the bike.
i do not consider this a quality issue, just one of those things.
Kymco service was 55 miles away and other repair shops considered it to be "a crappy chinese bike" and wouldnt work on it!
replaced it with something i could get serviced close to home.
