In our scooter a day series is the new Kymco Like 200i, which has that mix of modern and retro style that seems to be successful in the European market. The Like 200i is one of a couple of new 2010 Kymco models that were presented at the 2009 EIMCA show, and it builds on the smaller Like model with decent quality at an affordable price.

The Kymco Like 200i has a 163 cc engine with 8.1 kW of power and a top speed of nearly 120 km in hour for those days when you’re late for work on the ring road. It has a front disc brake and rear drum brake, with 12-inch alloy wheels. The front suspension features hydraulic forks and the rear includes adjustable dampers.

The Like 200i comes with electric and kick start feature, a standard top box in tint with the scooter, a digital clock and halogen headlamp. On the European market it costs about 2,100 euros, which is very reasonable for a city scooter ride.

Like is the new scooter from Kymco, both elegant and retro at the same time. It’s been designed as a traditional city scooter and was created by Italian designer Massimo Zaniboni after some research into scooters of the 50’s and 60’s.

It shows both Asian and European style elements, having fresh and clean lines. The seat is larger than on some scooters, and can comfortable take on two people with anti-slip material. The Like scooter is available in 50 and 125 cc versions.

It has a four-stroke engine with two air cooled valves for economic and quick riding. The 50 cc model will also soon be available in a two-stroke version, air cooled, which will highlight its agility and light weight.

The Kymco Like 125/50 is a new retro style scooter from Italian designer Massimo Zaniboni. The classic scooter has clean and modern lines, is compact but with some fine details and finishing.

‘Like’ comes from a detailed study on 50’s and 60’s style scooters, and the new Kymco model is comfortable and versatile. It has two 12-inch wheels, making it perfect for city traffic and weekend day trips. It is available in both 125cc and 50cc versions, both with a powerful four-stroke, two-valve, air cooled engine. A two-stroke 50cc version will also be available. The braking system includes twin discs and top-of-the-range features such as halogen lights and complete instrument panel.

The rear storage is Kymco series and integrated with the overall look of the scooter. ‘Like’ will be on sale from summer 2009 though no details on the pricing are available. It should prove to be a competitive figure though, similar to the general pricing of the Kymco line.
