Need more help deciding

Post by mverps »

I have found a 2009 Kymco grand Vista and a 2009 Aprilia Sportcity Cube 250. They are almost the same price and mileage. Any pros and cons on these Scooters?
Thanks again.

I have a People S 250 but rode a friends Grand Vista last night and really liked it. Great power and throttle response. I liked the speedo too. All digital. Only drawback it was a little tight on legroom. I think if the backrest was removed it might add some more room. I know nothing about the Aprilia but want to chime in on the GV.

Perhaps the Aprilia might be hard to find parts for...? I am not really up on all of the current details. R

I prefer the looks of the Aprilia. I'm not into the maxi scooter look.

Have you riden both? At least sat on both?

I have ridden both, performance and comfort are almost the same with both scooters. Leg room for me was not an issue with either one. I have short legs. My wife says buy the Grand Vista because it is White LOL.
:D

I want to thank everyone on here who helped me make up my mind of just what I wanted to get in a scooter. I ended up with the Grand Vista and after a 70 mile ride today I am happy. :D :D :D

I would love to purchase a Grand Vista, but the lack of leg room is the biggest reason not too for me. It's crazy cramped, and I'm only 6' tall.

Not sure who they are using as a model for body type.... but they need to find someone with longer legs maybe then they would understand.
