This was a few months ago when I did this swap.
I loved my Tmax. But since I stopped working full time 2 years ago, I just didn't use it anymore. It was my commuter to ride 10,000km per year to work.
It was sad, but the Tmax sat in the garage doing nothing for 1.5 years. So I put it up for sale, and it sold after a few weeks.
Most of my time is spent surfing/windsurfing/paragliding, so I just don't have much spare time for riding.
But i still wanted something to ride about a little, and do runs up to the supermarket.
In Australia Kymco has quite good representation. Lots of dealers.
So I bought the Kymco Like 150cc. Really nice scoot to ride. I now find excuses to take it out for rides, and up to the shops. Just so easy to jump on and ride. So light. Step through scoots are fun. It has front and rear ABS, font & rear disk brakes, it also came with top box.
see pics below of my old Tmax and my new Kymco Like.

And in with the Kymco Like
I sold the Tmax, but bought a small Kymco.

The "Like" is a great bike. Very reliable. Have fun on it!
Probably not ugly enough for the 'Ugly Bunch'!

I have to concur - step-through scoots are good fun to own and ride.
I'll just go and google your Like!

Kymco is a massive seller in Spain. Sure Kawasaki 300 is just a rebadged Kymco and a big player like Kawasaki would not have taken the rebadging without some major research into Kymco.

Re: I sold the Tmax, but bought a small Kymco.
Shame the Kymco dealerships are so sparse in the UK. Even the dealers near me listed in Kymco's dealer directory don't actually mention Kynco when you go to the individual sites.
Also, the 150 cc class that you have over there doesn't exist in the UK, because 125 cc is the learner limit. This is a pity, as a bit more ooomph would be welcome, especially when riding two up.
