Hi guys,
I just dropped by the Locin dealer to renew my registration. I was surprised to see a cool looking BKM 150cc scooter. And guess what the dealer told me that this "BKM" scooter runs on Italian Parts, and assembled in China.
I do not know if it's true but when I first saw the BKM scoot it was a really cool looking bike has a cool looking exhaust pipe. And considering the 150cc displacement it has a smaller body compared to the other 150cc scooters.
Just want to ask you guys if the dealer's claim is true? That this BKM Scooter has italian parts??? Help me here guys thanks.
Oh by the way it has a 65k price tag. Hmmm... kinda makes me wonder.

Eric pare,
I don't know anything about it ha... but my gut always tells me "if its too good to be true...". baka maniwala pa ako kung 'italian parts' made in china. Siguro ibig nyang sabihin compatible with italian scoots in parts?
Nothing wrong with having a china scoot, i think. You've had your C200 for a while and by all accounts ok pa naman diba? Magpapalit ka ba ng steed?
