I don't like riding behind any windscreen - so I don't.
But have learned that it is no problem in sporty conditions if I wear heated glove liners ~ and have absolutely every bit of skin covered from the wind!

Scoot is really quiet going 35mph with a 20 mph tail wind!

I'm still liking your Like.
Prefer it to the newer style.
The two-tone blue/white is the best colour scheme for the Like imo.
In the UK we've had the usual black, grey, white, a pale powder blue and I think a pale diarrhea beige, but no two tones.

One of the very few pix of it unmolested after purchase - just fitting the crash bar on in the back yard. Awaiting the front fender piece. Still stock mirrors, case and seat.
Couldn't see with the mirrors, wanted rear lighted case for night work commutes, and seat was pretty but painful due to seatpan ridge at my tailbone. Still have the stock seat in closet....purchased another LIKE seat on ebay for $35 to rebuild.

Afraid they won't be calling you for help with the brochure, "...and popular color options include pale diarrhea beige...."

Salesman started writing up a red one for me, then clear across the shop, by the helmets, I found the two-tone LX version: "Hold it!, I want this one."

Reliable for 6 yrs and dead easy to service.

I sat on a "pale diarrhea beige" one back in 2013 at the local Honda dealer. They had a PCX 125 on the floor also. Sat on that too. The salesman started it up indoors and even gave me a brand new free Honda T-Shirt but I just wasn't ready to pull the trigger and buy anything that day. Still have the T-Shirt. But I don't still have my PCX. :(

The Like has some nice styling cues and practical features but I can totally understand why you had the seat rebuild. :geek:

Right now it is 79°F and no wind. Humidity is 55%. The high today will be 88°. Very nice day for riding. I do believe that Spring has fully sprung.

Your endless early morning pictures of scooters are great.

Most people take pictures of people. Family. Or just enjoy the moment. What is going on Fish?

Strangely, for once we seem to be ahead of you with the weather. We normally get the tail end of what you are experiencing but we seem to be basking in what is passing from the Mediterranean.

It snowed last night and off and on today, looks like more tonight. I hate all of you who currently have nice riding weather.
