Which one would you take for a ride in Greece

My summer vacation this year is in Greece and I will rent a Scooter to go around. I have the following options:
Honda SH 150i
SYM Symphony SR150
Aprilia Scarabeo 200ie
Aprilia Sportcity 200
I will do many miles on country lanes, riding along the coastline and two up, hence passenger comfort is paramount. Do you have any experience with any of those?
Thank you!

If they're all the same price, get the Honda.

Honda is the way to go, However I wouldn't hesitate to take the Aprillas either because they're fun little things too. Honda for reliability... Aprillas if you want to have a little fun

Doubt your figure for the SC200 power is correct, Piaggio only claim 21 from their 300 engine.

I have had occasion to view comments on other forums about the Aprillia scooters, to be certain, they were not good comments. In general, the biggest complaints had to do with dependability. Something to think about.

Anything Italian tends to be fine when new but once a bit of mileage is on them they might not be as reliable as the Japanese brands.

Not even new in my experience. Admire don't own if it's Italian

The sport city figure was for an '09. They were 21hp for '05. I meant to say the scarabeo is 180cc. That being said I'd go with the sh150i hands down.
