Peugeot Citystar 200 Review

Used Buyer Review

The CityStar 200 is Peugeot's attempt to muscle into commuter scooter territory, and honestly? It mostly works. The 170cc single (don't let the '200' badging fool you) pulls cleanly through city traffic, the underseat storage swallows a full-face helmet, and the twin rear shocks give a genuinely composed ride compared to cheaper Chinese alternatives. It feels like a proper European scooter, not a disposable one. Used, you're hunting for rust around the exhaust headers and checking the CVT belt — Peugeot's service intervals on these get ignored by casual owners. Electrical gremlins around the dashboard aren't uncommon past 15,000 miles, and parts sourcing is the real headache. Peugeot Motorcycles has had distribution issues in several markets, meaning a snapped brake lever can become a three-week wait. Budget accordingly. At the right price — we're talking sub-$2,500 with verifiable service history — it's a genuinely decent urban commuter. Pay over that and you're gambling on someone else's neglect.
