Hey guys, I have been thinking of getting another scooter. Right now I am looking at the Kymco Like 200i (163cc) or another Honda Elite 110. I love EFI on both. The extra power is not really a factor. Kymco is air cooled vs Honda liquid cooled.
I don't know about Kymco's durability.
I guess I just want to know if Kymco's are as well built as Honda's
Thanks

Kymco's have a good reputation but they probably are not yet as dependable as a Honda and Honda has a much better parts availability, but if you do need to work on a Kymco the parts are probably cheaper to buy than a Honda.

I was reading that BMW thinks Kymco is doing quality work. Kymco is building the single cylinder 450cc Husqvarna enduro engine for BMW. Who now owns Husky.
The parts may be a little cheaper. I get the Like.

kymco started life as a honda subcontractor
the thing you have to watch with kymco is they make bikes in taiwan and in china
mainland china bikes are not the same quailty as there island counterparts
