  1. Thanks for sharing your experiences!

    I'm probably going to get the Agility 50 -- the cheapest Kymco available. I'm still wondering if i should get a 2 stroke, probably an ETon, since they're sold by the same dealer here as the Kymcos.

    We'll see, i guess! I'll keep checking back to see how your experience is going.

  2. juanito -- Well, when selecting a scooter, it really depends on what you need it to do. I also have a Yamaha Vino 50 2-stroke, but it probably needs a drive belt -- I've never been able to get it up to more than 30 mph on level ground, and uphill, it's extremely slow (one hill in my 'hood, I can only do 9 mph, indicated). What I needed was a commuter scooter -- one that could easily do 45 mph anywhere, and keep up with traffic on surface streets in Nashville. So, I had to have something no smaller than 125cc. I weigh ~200 lbs., and this is a big factor on smaller scooters. I would have preferred a 250cc, but even a used Honda Reflex would have cost me about $1000 more than the new Agility 125.
