Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Suzuki... yup, that's all three I believe you are thinking of the Kawasaki Bajaj motorcycles? Trust me, they don't have a full Kawasaki pedigree, for which you will pay much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, even though I have owned one, I was not thinking Rouser as it is a sport bike and not what I think Ron is looking for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did someone say Rouser? I agree that I doubt that is what Ron is looking for. The people who slight Kymco for fit and finish have probably never seen a Honda assembled in the Philippines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron, 59K is the list price for an Agility 125. I have seen the higher grade Agility "Naked" for sale online for 59k so I think there is wiggle room. I would inquire if the dealer has an Agility 16+, 16 inch front wheel, 14 inch rear, front and rear disc brake. Nothing wrong with the base model but I would rather have an Agility 16+ for about the same price. Can't hurt to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you calculated the cost difference for the fuel. A gas guzzling scooter can easy use 100 pesos a week in extra fuel over an efficient FI. That adds up to 5200 pesos in just one year. Is it that much cheaper to buy a Kymco if it is not fuel efficient? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not progressed on the Kymco and am now not really inclined to stay with my original targets, Honda Click/Yamaha Mio (MIO's seem more prevalent.) Thanks for the sound advice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not notice it racing but as I was sitting at an intersection I found I needed to throttle early in order to cross while traffic was clear. I suggest renting each for a week and see how you like them before deciding on a purchase. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is quite Usual on the Smaller engines, the Variator sometimes needs a few revs before it takes up its Own Slack a little, the Bigger the engine the quicker that happens also the rubber belts slackens after even a short time. On the Bigger ones they are usually double row chains so the bite is better. but we have to Remember these are basically Town Bikes not Racing Machines. JMHO after owing quite a few small engined Scooters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
