Verdict

The Kymco Super 8 150 is and affordable scooter that offers a good compromise between performances, reliability and price.

Its compact engine puts efficiency on top of the priorities list, but is also pretty capable being able to deliver an invigorating ride. The front disc brakes aren’t exactly strong, but they are a good match for the limited power of the engine.

The suspension system is nicely damped and balanced and you’ll happily notice that you receive a pretty good feel from the relatively big 14 inch wheels.
