My new Scoot, I call her Dinky...

Grand Dink 250, or, as they say outside of Asia, the Kymco Grand Vista! Now my 2009 Buddy has a friend in the scooting business....

Kool. Be sure to give us a thorough review once you get a new front tire on it. Seems like some 250cc scoots work well on the freeway and some don't.

Will post review once the new tires are on. After owning a Kymco 150 Super 8, then a Buddy 125, the power this new one has is a little bit formidable, but I will adjust. Once owned two 1000 Gold Wings, a Honda CX500, a Honda 650 GL, a Suzuki Tempter 650, Elite 80, Kawasaki 400, Suzuki GT550 two stroke, and assorted other two wheelers in the past...when I was younger. Have to be more cautious these days...don't want to lose my pension...

How did the Super 8 150 compare to the Buddy 125? They look very different but I have wondered if they ride and handle different.

Super 8 versus Buddy it is simple Buddys Run, consistantly and reliabily... super 8s not so much. And when it did run it was Rough on the posterier. R
