==Engine==
The engine was a Forced [[air cooling]] cooled Four stroke, single cylinder, SOHC, 4 valve.  

==Drive==
Power was moderated via the Automatic.  

==Chassis==
It came with a 110/70-12 front [[tire]] and a 130/70-12 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via Single 220mm disc 2 piston Caliper, ABS in the front and a Single 200mm disc 2 piston Caliper, ABS in the rear. The front suspension was a  33mm Telescopic fork while the rear was equipped with a Dual shocks With Preload Adjustment. The Like 150i was fitted with a 6.8 Litres / 1.8 US gal fuel tank. The bike weighed just 120 kg / 264 lbs. The wheelbase was 1315 mm / 51.8 in long.

== Overview ==
Kymco Like 150i













Overview
The Like leads the way with a clean front fender that mounts to the clamp so
as to keep the unsprung weight down. A broad legshield clears the way to protect
the riders stems, and it uses some subtle shapes in the sheet metal to gently
break up the field with a few badges to dress it up just a bit. Nothing gaudy or
juvenile mind you, but tasteful in my humble opinion. Oh, and it has a
classic flavor to it that is picked up by the cyclops headlight and handlebar
fairing. Its true that the light shape is a bit unusual, and not exactly like
the classic round headlights from back in the day, but it still has the desired
effect and certainly adds a dose of nostalgia.
Recessed turn signals complete the forward lighting, and as with the rest of
the scoot, they rely on LED technology to get the job done. The backside of the
headlight housing contains the all-digital instrumentation that steers the
design into futuristic-retro territory. Thats the factorys language, not
mine, but it fits.
Below the steering and controls, the inner fairing sports a wide, if shallow,
glove box that will hold your mobile device and charge it via the USB
port contained within the dry, secure compartment. A little further down the
steering column is another door that conceals the fuel-filler cap. The
1.8-gallon tank rests under that oddly-thick deck, so its a short trip from the
filler to the reservoir, and of course, placing the weight right there pulls the
center-of-gravity right on down. Under the flip-up seat youll find the usual
storage cubby, but if youre looking for room for two helmets, you need to start
researching a maxi-scoot, or a mini-max at the smallest. The Like 150i will keep
a full-face bucket and a few sundry items dry, but thats about it.


A few subtle details in the sheet metal along the flanks give the rear end
the same understated look as the front for a nice continuity of design, and I
guess the same could be said of the rearward lighting; it rocks bright LED
emitters in a rather outrageous pattern that doesnt conform to accepted norms.
Does that count? A deep rear fender contains the spray from the rear wheel and
mounts the tag to complete the equipment.
A proper underframe supports the structure rather than relying on the
stressed-skin method. The factory beefed up the bones by dropping the old
single-downtube arrangement in favor of a double-downtube/double-cradle frame
that is much stiffer overall than the outgoing model and comes built to mount
the ABS feature. Hydraulically-dampened telescopic forks support the front end
on 3.74 inches of travel while the swing-mount rear end falls under the control
of a pair of coil-over rear shocks that deliver 3.39 inches of travel and come
with adjustable preload to boot. I suppose that at 12-inches diameter, the cast
wheels could be larger, but at the end of the day they fit well with the design
and there is certainly something to be said for that.
Bless their hearts, the designers chucked on a modern hydraulic disc brake
out back instead of the old drum brake, and both ends run a twin-pot anchor with
ABS coverage all around. I know it would be easier to just chuck on a drum and
call it done, so I have to give the factory its due credit here. A 110/70 and
130/70 hoop lines the front and rear rims, respectively, to round out the
rolling chassis.
Power comes from the four-valve thumper that runs a 59 mm bore and 54.8 mm
stroke for a total displacement of 149.8 cc, right up against the implied 150 cc
mark. The valvetrain is both light and simple with a single over-head cam to
take care of the business of timing the poppets. This plant is button-start
only, so if youre dead set on the romance of kicking your steed to life, this
aint the scoot for you; for everyone else, this is good news indeed.
Electronic fuel injection meters the push-o-line to milk an economical 85
miles out of each gallon. As for the power figures, they are about what youd
expect. The little mill grinds out 8.7 pound-feet of torque at 6,500 rpm with
13.5 horsepower that tops out at 9 grand. Forced-air cooling eliminates the
waste heat, and that comes with the benefits of simplicity and lighter weight
versus a liquid-cooled engine. As usual for a scoot, a continuously-variable
transmission uses a belt-and-pulley system to keep the engine in the usable
power range with the expected twist-and-go operation and seamless, clutchless
shifting. The factory doesnt specify a top speed, but I expect youre going
to want to stay off the interstate, and watch your back on highways too.
Its fair to say that I didnt pick the market, KYMCO did that, so I think
its fair game to pull a couple of the biggest names in the game: Piaggio, and
its
division. The Vespa Sprint 150 S Special Series brings genuine
classic looks to the table along with a thoroughly modern riding experience.
Retro design elements give the Sprint a nostalgic air that few can match, though
in fairness, KYMCO does better than most with its clean neo-retro look.
Vespa claims more cubeage with 154.8 cc tucked away under the sheet metal,
and while it does top the KYMCO plant in torque with 9.44 pound-feet versus
8.7 pound-feet, but KYMCO strikes back with more horsepower (13.5) than the
12.7-pony Vespa, so in the end, the power is a trade off.
does offer a TFT multi-function display that is superior to the LCD
readouts on the Like, and it claims a whopping 110 mpg for a clear victory in
that department.
The Sprint takes a hit with a drum brake out back, even though it half makes
up for it with a hydraulic brake up front, complete with ABS. The Italian ride
clearly loses at the checkout though, bigly. At $5,649, the Sprint is
significantly more expensive, but Piaggio was never one to use price as a
selling point.
