I've owned three scooters in my life and ridden a dozen others, and I've found that this Kymco 250 has the best blend of quality, comfort, style (in my estimation), and value. The very large wheelbase and uncommonly large tires give the scooter a sturdy, solid feel rarely found in a bike its size. As for handling, it certainly feels more like a motorcycle than a scooter. The Vespa GTS 250 is a slightly smoother ride, and the Burgman 400 is, of course, a more powerful ride, but the Kymco 250 is as masterfully designed and constructed as anything out there, and it's a couple thousand dollars less (I also prefer its sporty look). It also comes with a standard two year warranty, which I bumped up to a four year warranty for under $400. In short, I couldn't be more pleased with my Xciting. Its Xceptional (sorry).
