Neither. Do your CBT first - you may love it, you may find it's just not something you enjoy.

I dont know how much they're up for, but I'd be inclinded to look for a newer Honda example - You can get some reasonable deals privately on Honda scoots.

I had a Kymco many years ago, and it was a mistake buying it. In saying that their quality has gone up significantly in the past years, and appear to be making some decent scoots.

However common sense says pick a Honda - They're good trust worthy and have a residual value. After all it says somethign about the bikes if one if xx many years older and still commanding the same price.
