It is really just a 161cc. Kymco seems to take the cake for the naming things way over what they are. It is good kymco has a more classic style choice along with the utilitarian offerings. They also should win an award for goofiest names

Come on its retro! Anybody remember Like Cola?

According to the email I got from Kymco today, the 50cc Like is now available. The 200cc should be interesting when it gets here.

So this will really be a 23.8cc motor?

My 2T weedeater has 29cc's, lol.

the Downtown looks like a really competitive commuter... 3 gal tank, dual disks, and a pretty decent engine that pumps out 7 HP more than the Citycom. I wonder how they're going to price it...

Oh, and it looks a hell of a lot more acceptable that the Jager, lol.

don't know why, but even though i think the jager is ugly i am drawn to it. like an alt universe 80's style honda scooter, if that makes sense...

the 50cc 'like' is a pretty good sized scoot.......52" wheelbase, 32.5" seat heigth with 12" wheels and is over 6' long. Weighing in at over 220# will make it a challenge to keep a "buddy" tail light in sight.....

I think I actually agree with you. The thing is, I'm trying my best to not like it at the moment, because after seeing it in person, its not bad at all.... and I don't need to spend that kind of money right now. It's a lot easier to like the Downtown, because I haven't seen it in person nor can I afford it.

Like it's trying to be a Vespa ET4, not even close. Not impressed with the new line up what so ever like for sure. Who thinks of these model names??

Like lame

Did some digging last night, all I could find was a 125cc version. Anybody have proof of the 200?

I kinda like the design, kinda has some of the rectangular Lambretta look to it.

Anybody heard anything about an arrival date or a price?

I'd like to see more dealers sell the Quannon 150 motorcycle from kymco, but then again, a ninja 250 is only $500 more...

The ninja would be a better buy for people looking at the Quannon 150
