OK OK i know some of you will laugh
Carry on laugh away, but for my friends who do support me, I would like an opinion on the following.
Both 250 scooters, as in scooters. This thing is going to get a lot of work, my daughter is going to grab it every chance she gets as from this year she has a 40km round trip to college. The goose wil grab it to go to the shops and I will want to grab it just to have fun, my dilema is I am struggling to find out any write ups. I can find specs and stuff but no road reports or rider reports. Please give me a hand, see if you can dig something up for me.
Kymco Grand little 250
PGO G Max 250
Thanks in advance

Ive heard good things about the kymco... unfortunately, it was all first-hand, I dont have a written review for you.
One of my buddies has a kymco 250 scooter, dont think it is the Grand little though, but he did some of the little mods to get it unrestricted and make it go faster. It is a peppy little thing, and fun to tool around in.
Edit: BTW James, yes, they are automatic. The Kymco has a continuously variable transmission.
And I have never heard of the PGO... dunno if they have em around here.

hehe grand little 250. my childish sense of humor finds that funny.
So, is the BMW getting to be too much work and this is really for you?
(j/k)
Looks wise i like the PGO.

I can't get over the name Grand little. Here in the U.S. "dinky" means small and inconsequential. Grand little would seem to be an oxymoron.

Plus in the USA, little is really a derrogatory name to Vietnamese people or for all asians I think. I'm surprised they would use that word.

It's also slang for your penile appendage.

My (admittedly short) experience was w/ a Kymco B&W (Bet and Win) 80cc 2-stroke on a recent vacation in Greece.
Powerful bike - My wife and I rode 2-up pretty much everywhere for a week. Good fit and finish - better than I thought it would be anyway.
As stated, little is a derogatory term in the US, so Kymco calls this bike the GRAND VISTA in the US ... You may be able to find some reviews under that name.
I have no experience w/ PGO whatsoever, sorry

So I could end up riding around on a big dick
