Appears Kymco are releasing a 200cc mini T max in Europe though it appears it won't be making UK shores

Which is probably good, because spares for it definitely won't!

Too bad that UK buyers can't easily choose a scooter of this quality. A smart and innovative design in terms of lightweight scooters. It removes the usual problems with engines that act as unsprung weight on the rear suspension. The best we can hope for is that mainstream manufacturers raise their game and copy these features to satisfy bigger European markets. As Capitano's comment implies the UK dealer support for Kymco is patchy at best.

I wish we could get some of the other offerings and variations in the UK. I particularly like the XR150L from Honda that they’ve recently released. My old 125 version was great fun and just a tiny bit more poke would be ideal….
Guess that’s the same for the Honda Adv150 too

Unfortunately, it's not an implication, it's a statement of fact.
The last thing any UK Kymco or Sym owner needs to hear, is, " we're waiting for spares!"
Enterprising owners have sourced spares from markets where support is better, like Greece. However it's a woeful situation that forces them to do that.

I feel the same, I'll bet the XR150 is a great fun bike & a Honda! I've recently bought an old Yamaha XT125R which I really like but it's 2006, there isn't one newer than 2012 as far as I can see.
I guess the XR won't be Euro 5, and it's also a strange cc for the euro market.
