The Kymco Spade 150 R is a new mini-motorcycle, in the same class as the Honda Grom or Kawasaki Z125. Unlike those minis, the Spade 150 is styled with a retro theme. The upright riding position is more suited to adults than the cafe-racer Grom and Z125. the Spade has a 150cc single cylinder, fuel injected engine with double overhead cams. These reviews say the bike is fun to ride. MSRP $2995.

Should you consider the Spade 150 for a trip across country? Probably not. But it would make an inexpensive, lightweight dingy for your camper, and lots of fun around town.
Kymco (Kwang Yang Motor Co.), a Taiwanese company, is the second largest manufacturer of scooters in the world. In 2008, BMW chose Kymco to build the engine in BMW's G450X enduro motorcycle, a model no longer imported to USA. Kymco also builds the optional "range extended" gasoline engine in BMW's i3 electric car.
