First impressions

I've had my Like 200i for 3 days now and have been able to get to know it a little better.

Here are my impressions after 3 days (300km):

The Good:

• Plenty of zip at the lights. I've been able to beat most cars at the lights without really trying
• Very stable, both in stop/start traffic and at motorway speeds
• Great fuel economy. First fill of 6.4 litres after 206km - 31km/l
• Easy to handle in stop/start traffic
• Engine is quiet, even at high speed
• Plenty of storage both under seat and in supplied rear storage box/seat rest
• Glove box is a great place for holding and CHARGING phone (built in cigarette lighter is a HUGH plus)
• About 1/3rd the price of a similar "Italian" scooter
• FUN, FUN, FUN to ride

The Bad:

• Centre stand is very tight and can be difficult to use. Hopefully it will become easier to use over time
• Rear box is thin plastic and the plastic hinges are plastic, reinforced by fabric straps. I don't think the box is sturdy enough, but I'm using it every day so I guess time will tell if my impression is correct. 

The Comments:

• It's cute (20-something non riding female)
• It quite ..... Italian (20-something riding male - I think he way trying to say something nice)

To each their own...

 

All in all, after 3 days, I'm impressed with my purchase. 

Until next time - Keep on scooting.
