Kymco Bet & Win 150cc

When you buy either a 150 or 250 Kymco Bet and Win make sure to ask for the maintenance manual. The operators manual does not tell you how to take of the covers in order to change the spark plug. Nor does the operators manual tell you how to take the front cover off so you can add antifreeze.

I purchased this scooter last year. At the time, I was in the market for a smaller model since it was my first experience with operating a motorized two wheeled vehicle. The salesman recommended that I take the B&W for a test ride. His recommendation to test drive the scooter, was the best advice given. Anyone seeking to purchase a 150cc scooter, should make a strong attempt to test the B&W.

I do not like motorcycles, they scare me but with the gas prices out of contol I had to take action. I love the automatic no shifting, so smooth and what a fantastic ride! I just love it. I ride 18 miles in city traffic each way to work, I can't wait to get back on it for the ride home, SO MUCH FUN! IF you can find one, BUY IT!

I have owned my B+W 150 for nearly 3 years.It never ceases to amaze me.It is very dependable. The fit and finish rivals that of Hondas/Suzukis/Yamahas I have owned. It is plenty peppy for the type of riding I do. I was originally going to buy a Stella but the 2yr warranty was hard to beat.

If you have a chance to buy one, either a 150 or 250, buy it....You won't be sorry.

I was going to buy the Fly 150cc but I hadn't tried it yet. I went for a test drive and I wasn't happy at all with the acceleration. The shop owner then made me try the Bet & Win 150 and I absolutely fell in love with it. For some reason it felt like it had more power than the Fly. Cost was 700$ CAD more but since in had 200 km on it they cut me kind of a deal. I paid 5000 $CAD with taxes for it.

I now have over 2500 km done on it and I will be heading to Seattle next week for a 1500 km road trip each way. The bike goes about 110 km/h and will go faster on a highway because you don't have to cut through the same amount of air. I have never ridden in the back position myself but from what people have told me after riding with me they confirmed that it's quite alright. The disc brakes are amazing. The speed to which you can slow down is absolutely amazing. I get about 250 km on 10 liters (usually fill up with 8 liters and get 200 km) in the city and will be able to tell how well it does on the highway after I come back from this trip.

Driving this scooter is simply a pleasure. Like another reviewer said for the B&W 250, you just wish places you are going to were further, so great it is to drive this bike. What made me buy this scooter, in addition to the test drive, was a recommendation from a friend who lived in Thailand. He said that everybody there drove Kymco scooters and that they are the bomb. From having been to Thailand and seeing how many scooters there are there, these guys have to know what's good and what's not!
