Used Buyer Review

The Kymco Like 125 is essentially a retro-styled fashion piece that happens to move. Don't let that sound dismissive โ€” for what it is, it does the job competently enough. The 125cc single is smooth and reliable provided previous owners didn't neglect the basics. Check the variator rollers and belt before handing over cash, because lazy owners skip these and you'll feel it immediately in sluggish acceleration. Carburetor models need the pilot jet inspected for gumming if it's been sitting.

Pros

+Bulletproof reliability when maintained
+Retro styling ages well
+Cheap parts, easy servicing
+Comfortable upright seating position
+Excellent urban fuel economy

Cons

-Painfully slow above 55mph
-Cheap suspension feels it
-Resale value drops fast
-Flimsy plastic trim cracks easily
warning
Avoid if

You ride any roads exceeding 50mph
