Well I was totally set on the scarabeo 200. Even applied for financing and im set to go. But i read every once in a while that they have all sorts of 'problems'.
I need to ask a stupid question. What do 'problems' really mean? It's a brand new bike with a 12 month warranty. I know how to turn a wrench (i replaced a head gasket, belt, variator, and bled the brakes on my old kymco that I dont have anymore). Is it really going to be a huge pain in the butt, or just minor things? I don't really mind the 'poor acceleration' from 0-10mph, and things like that which seem to be common annoyances on the scoot. I just don't want any CATASTROPHIC failures that set me back like 700 bucks.
Aren't these scooters that are designed by reputable companies like piaggio, aprilia, etc supposed to be very well engineered machines?
More specifically, does anyone know if these problems were solved with the 2009 scarabeo 200?
