Shouldn't both bikes have FaceTime? You know Honda's need it.

What the heck is that ??? My first tricycle when I was 2 years old had bigger wheels than that....

Nice picture, but would have much rather seen the Forza on there. Or at least a PCX if you wanted to put a kiddie scooter on the card ;)

Now now, let's play nice. That little scooter is the joy of his life, so just be happy that he has a scooter that hasn't spent more time in the shop than out. I know of some Forzas that can fit in that category. I think it is quite apropos. If Honda wants it's big scooters on the Christmas post card then they need to get their act together. :-)

Personally, I would not waste my time with that thing... If I wanted to ride something smaller and lighter than the Forza, the Honda PCX150 would be better in every way. The Honda PCX would even look better on a christmas card.

...but it's cute!!
That is the most decked out Vespa wannabe I have seen actually being ridden, so give it points for cute. I would still prefer the PCX, but I am sure that little putt putt was there first.

Well said...
There are only a few dozen similar sized scoots running around in the world.
This toy Kymco is 7mm shorter (that's 2/10ths of an inch) and has the same 12" wheels and the same Michelin City Grip tires as the $7,500 GTS 300.....which is made by that Italian toy company, VESPA.
I only roll it around in the yard - which accounts for the 11,450 miles on the clock.

I had heard that things were generally bigger in the USA, but that yard of yours must be absolutely mahoosive :lol:

Yep, that be Fish's scoot you're seeing right there!

Spirit Counts.
Great Holiday Card!
I Like Fish's Like. Everytime he posts a photo of his, I Want one just "Like" His!
I'm glad you chose to Strike a Pose with your baby, the Forza in it's place would look overpowering in this scene,....Your Scene :P

I'm wishing a "Very Merry and Happy Holiday to You and your Like-able Family" :P

You're thinking of Texas.....where only their imaginations are actually larger. (all that 3.2 beer)
Say gn, what do you think of the redesigned Kymco Like125 & 150?
They exhibited one new version - but now they've shown a completely revamped scoot for 2017. www.kymco.com
Just curious of your thoughts on the scooter.

The new one at Kymco global has styling cues from the Sprint/Primavera bodywork.
I think I like it, a liquid cooled 200cc version would be good.

As much as I like the concept of 200cc engines, I do not like the styling of the Like as much as that of the Downtown, though the Downtown only goes as low as 300cc. Still, a 300cc scooter would give me more than enough power to go anywhere and do just about anything I needed or wanted to do. I loved my Burgman 400, but it was heavy. My PCX 150 is great but a 200cc version would be better. So I think a 300cc would probably be in the middle and do everything well.
I have heard good things about the quality of the Kymco, but bad things about finding service centers. I wonder if they are addressing this issue.

I saw a scooter that looked just like that one in the picture at WalMart... It was blue, made out of plastic, with a little battery and electric motor, but the wheels were the same size :D
