Given that the Like 200i is $2099 and the Super 8 150 is $1943, which would you buy and why? I'm seriously considering getting a new scooter.
thanks in advance, Jim

We have two 2009 super8 150's. Basically GY6 scooters with 14" wheels. They have both been reliable (8,000 and 6,000 mi, respectively and still going strong). Nice styling (after removing most of the garish stickers), reasonably quick, and reliable. Major downside is that the suspension is quite stiff (makes for good handling, but a bit rough on the back!).
I can't comment on the Like from experience, but by hunch is that the smaller wheels would tend to make it more "twitchy": good for urban commuting, bad on the road.

Those are two very different bikes style wise they are both very good bikes though you need to decide what you want to look at every day for the next however many years. Personally I prefer the like but who cares what I like get what you like

Personally I prefer the like but who cares what I like get what you like I recently test-rode both... I agree with scootnwinn. Whether you prefer the sport, or Italian style, you can take your choice! I would be happy with either one, but do prefer the old-school appearance of the "Like"... Leo in Texas
